New update has bugs

I like the new Navigation design but the articles view is very buggy. No headlines on articles and when iPad is in landscape view no text at all on most articles. Was this tested before you released it?

Harassing subscribers and Reid

I spent 30 minutes trying to track down two alerts. There was no obvious reason for them so I checked AI only to find out that the tribune wanted me to rate it. You flunked.

Justin Fields?

Why is there a picture of a Justin Fields story in the update? Talk about a need for an update!

Doesn’t function properly

When I am in Newspaper view and click on an article at some point the article jumps to extremely large size, making it unreadable. The only solution is to close the article and reopen. Constantly! This has been the case for years and the Trib doesn’t bother to fix it. So frustrating!

Poor

I received a notice about Covid money.
I clicked and got the response that I could subscribe or log in.
I logged in the article opened for a few seconds the. I was prompted to subscribe again or log in. Didn’t I just do that.
Your system stinks, maybe that’s why young people don’t read the Trib.
One of these days, unless your system begins to work properly, I may do the same. I have been a subscriber since 1966.
