### 3/5 — Don’t like new app

*2026-08-04, version 8.11.0*

Liked the old app much better! This one too easily changes screens because of the > feature when you don’t mean to. I did not upgrade on my phone & I’m much happier.

I hate this app! The pop up ads, the changing screen, not downloading.
The old app was great & I want it back! Still have it on my phone.

### 2/5 — Not the same since taken over by the conglomerate

### 5/5 — 8 Things to do this weekend for March 27,28,29.

*2026-03-27, version 8.9.0*

I was totally surprised when I was reading the above segment that there was NO MENTION of the No Kings Rally in several shore communities this weekend. It is opined to be the biggest rally ever across the US and  the APP decided that it wasn’t that important here. 
Does that mean the APP won’t be covering it either? 
I was very disappointed to see that it was not listed as I was looking for the location so that I could attend this event AT A VERY IMPORTANT TIME IN THIS NATION’S LIFE!!
Was this a “safe” move by your editors? Staff?
Thanks again…will check with Gemini to find the location. May rely on Gemini for more things in the future and MUCH LESS, IF AT ALL ON THE APP.

### 1/5 — New not better

*2026-03-12, version 8.9.0*

### 1/5 — Worse App ever!

*2026-03-08, version 8.8.1*

I only have the digital edition and it is not OPENING on my IPAD. Adding the commercials has been a big mistake. Bring back the Print edition.
