Bugs R Us

This app is the way I like to read the CJ. However, recently when I bring up the enewspaper on my iPad, there is an overlay of ads, pictures, QR codes, who knows what all, that appears over the top of the content. It’s as if you printed something on a piece of paper that already had printing on it. Both content and ads are virtually unreadable. If you page over and come back, it might be gone. But that is no guarantee that it won’t be back. In addition, I love doing the crossword puzzles but for many months, “Today’s Crossword” cannot be printed in whole on letter sized paper from the iPad or iPhone. The USA Today puzzle is fine and the Sunday puzzles, though much bigger, are fine. If you try to reduce the size to fit on one sheet, it doesn’t change at all, and never will fit it all on one page. I can print it on one page from my PC but not from my iPad or iPhone, even though I used to be able to do this and can STILL print the USA Today puzzle from there.
