Can’t read paper

New format is not compatible for my iPad.
Customer service told me to buy a newer
Version to read Recorder. Could you buy
One for me. I do get a hard copy delivered
But it is always late. How much longer can
This paper stay in business ? Been reading
It for 60 years, worst ever. MFC

Bad update

It’s harder to read an article all the way through. And when I want to print one, or share it, I can’t choose just that article. It won’t work anymore on our older iPad that we got specifically to read the newspaper.

No longer usable

I can’t download the latest version nor use the version I currently have due to my iPad’s age.

Needs some tweaks

iPhone user. Clunky user interface. Some navigation steps are sporadic. Some articles can’t be selected. A disappointing, and frustrating experience more often than not.
