Epaper, something went wrong, Tap to try again. (Novel Fix—Special Case).

7-17-26. Trying to access Austin American Statesman epaper I got Something went wrong, Tap to try again. Went through restarting iPad & app, clearing cache, logging out & back in, deleting & reinstalling app—nothing worked. **FINAL WORKING SOLUTION: Both Cellular & WiFi were enabled & active on the iPad. Once I turned one of Cellular or WiFi off I could access epaper again. Likely an unusual situation but keep it in mind if you are using an iPad to access the e-paper.
