E edition

All of a sudden, the app will no longer show the e edition? It will show all of the curated stories..

App Breaks All The Time

Second day in a row that the e-edition doesn’t work. Contacted them, they do nothing.

Easy to navigate.

Local flavor, other local communities just a click away, 30 past days of papers is super convenient. Headline articles easy to punch up. The app is the way to go, not just the single paper reader on my iPad.

Meh

Really not a lot of content other than high school sports, weather and games
