less than illuminating
Constant typographical errors, rehashed reporting to add volume to stories. Digital version flooded with ads that obscure the screen - more flashing lights than in a casino, reporting is hardly up to the minute despite intrusive alerts. Little by way of national reporting. Feedback/comments from the same boorish quasi intellectuals who maintain running commentary of each others comments, seldom offer insight other than into bigotry and self interest. A newspaper owned by a person facing domestic violence charges is hardly worth bragging about as a source of information.

Stops working
If I read the paper online it kicks me out around the sports section. I have to close the app and restart it. It does not do this if I read via the articles ie if I don’t load the paper.

One sided reporting
I find that i prefer reading the comments online to the reporting, rather than the reporting itself. This is because the reporting is very biased, largely the options of the reporter. Many of the reporters are leftists and will not present the other side of the argument. It’s no longer balanced reporting. CT would be better served by looking at the comments section to know what its readers think. I would probably fire most of the hard left and even hard right reporters. We need balance media , not propaganda. I remain a subscriber because i want local news, but it’s on thin ice.

Mistakes introduced in latest updates
Since the last couple of updates the app:
. Spontaneously closes when scrolling or changing pages
. Often shows a blank page when returning from an article which requires changing from one menu to another and back again to populate the page again
. The first lines under the headlines in the index page disappear and return while scrolling through the index
. In the puzzles, the given letters in the codeword don’t start in green but instead in black and can be deleted. It requires a reset for the given letters to appear in green.
. When the codeword is completed the timer does not stop.
