Printing puzzles stinks

Printing a crossword results in a fuzzy, partially faded mess. No matter what settings I use on my laser printer, the results are terrible. The old version was better, but if I try to print using it, the drop-down screen hides the settings screen, which vanishes if I try to use it. UPDATE: The newest version of the AZ Central app drives me mad with greyed out pages of ads! I’m paying already! I don’t need more ads! Printing requires you to touch the desired item, then choose PDF, which opens another page, then select the share icon, which opens a drop down menu. You then select PRINT to finally achieve your goal. Yay! *sarcasm* Also, since Robert Robb left, your Leftist editorial board has ruined what was once a balanced opinion page.

A Rag…

This paper has become an unequivocal rag. Customer service is non-existent. Delivery is iffy at best. No one edits the articles anymore…bad form, punctuation & grammar. Entertainment & Sportswriter columnists do not qualify as opinion writers. Let them stick to what they know about their area of expertise & not what they think or feel. The writers are no longer journalists but INFLUENCERS who don’t know what proper, good journalistic style is or just don’t care about it. The BIAS is PALPABLE, unsettling, unacceptable and unbecoming. Shame on The Arizona Republic, USA Today, Gannett, New Media Investment Group, GateHouse Media and Greg Burton. How to run a formerly fine newspaper into the ground…they’ve perfected it! The app is cumbersome & non-intuitive & so layered, it’s frustrating…and I’m tired of attempting to talk to people in the Philippines whose English is just slightly better than my Tagalog.

Print

We are unable to print the crossword puzzle from the enewspaper??? Never had a problem before. This app is useless.

Feeling the connection

I moved to Arizona in 1988 from Alaska. Since then, I have moved to different neighborhoods 5 times in Scottsdale. Some neighborhoods were more friendly than others and it’s that connection with others that made the difference. This is what being a subscriber does for me. No matter what neighborhood I live in can always read the newspaper and get connected to any neighborhood I want. Journalism is important I am also doing my part to support the local paper. Just like voting it makes me feel like I am making a contribution back to my local and larger neighborhood.

Worst App ever!

This eNewspaper for AZ Central app is the worst app I’ve ever used on any computer, iPad, or iPhone. It is unstable, sometimes switching to unknown pages or no page seemingly at no one’s direction. The previous app for the Az Republic newspaper was not perfect but at least it worked. One could move through the newspaper section by section, or page by page, or search for something specific. This app leaves the reader hanging having to guess if the app is going to move to a new page, any page, or no page and sit with a blank screen. I wish there were an alternative …. any alternative! HELP!!!

The newspaper app needs fixing.

The app is terrible when viewing on my iphone. As i try to change pages it keeps flipping me back to news articles that i have already read. there seems to be two different ways to read articles. one way is to click in the lower left corner which gives a certain view. another is to click on arrows on the middle side of the screen. The the app keeps switching between these two methods and ends up repeating previously read articles. Eventually i just give up and scream.

Horrible to navigate

The old app was great, then you migrated to this and it’s horrible. If I try to enlarge the comic page to read the small print, it jumps to another page. Same with enlarging any page, it goes where I don’t want to go. Took me 4-5 times of going back to Dear Abby to read the entire article.
And you’ve put out so many new comics so now they’re smaller than before, half of which I don’t read anyway.
Try finding a particular page on Monday! Not all listed in the index and end up paging thru the entire paper.
Needs lots of fixing.
Don’t get me started on all your liberal articles! You’re supposed to report the NEWS, not your opinion.
