Simple, works well, and purpose built
I was pleasantly surprised by this app. I bought a subscription to the paper on sale and didn't expect to keep it long. The app, along with the content of the paper made me stay.
E-readers are often, for lack of a better term, hot garbage. This one takes a second to get used to the layout and navigation but once you learn it, navigating the app is seamless. It's easy to move from one edition to another, including going back to older editions. Also the ability to tap on a column to make fullscreen and easily scroll through the whole story (including the continuation from another page) is really nice.
Overall it's a rock solid app, keep it up.
P.S. Austin-American Stateman's reporting is great, very fair and their fact checking column is great. Local to national I feel it's an easy and thorough way to catch up on the news.

Easy to read and skim
Times to download and print have improved dramatically in the last few months.
Ability to go section by section or page by page is convenient. Articles can be easily expanded to read. One minor nit - sometimes the pictures in the article don’t get included. You can expand an article by hand and they will be available but using the select process to read it often does not include the photos.

Rating on app
I have been using this app for the past week and it’s easier to use and does not take very much time to open the program. I had to go out of town this past week and I used it to read my daily newspaper. I didn’t have any trouble going from page to page. However, I see if you leave it open for a few minutes then the program goes back to the beginning and does not stay at the point I was reading. I believe it will take time to get used to the app.

Better Statesman App Than Others...
This app is a lot better than those I have experienced. There needs to be improvements though: ability to share articles; take the fuzziness out of switching from one article to another and overall user friendliness. I will continue to explore this app and see what else needs to be improved.
My rating
For the most part, I like reading the paper online. I like being able to read a newspaper even while traveling. The quality is not so good. Many times the online paper is not in focus and the print is too fuzzy to read. I mentioned this to customer service and was told that several people have the same problem and it will be brought to the editors attention. So far the results remain the same.
