E Subscription

Very inconsistent layout. Lot’s of duplication. Sports scores and results are often delayed at least a day.

App

App freezes up sometimes does not load at all and sometimes doesn’t reload for the next day we had to reload the app to get it to work

E Edition

The e-edition is a mess. On my iPad it keeps jumping back to full page view. It repeats the comics and other pages at least two times in each edition.

Proof reading before publication would be a plus.

Bad, very very bad

It is good at showing you advertising but terrible at showing you the news.
