Where

Increased price, new layout, can’t find obits etc … very horrible change

Slow app

This app will crash my phone 50% of the time. It’s too big and messy and bulky. Need a streamlined simper app

Better before

I am a digital subscriber. I liked the a app before it was changed a few months ago. It is disappointing. I was expecting more articles since I am more likely to peruse the app than edition of paper. Only one or two local articles 👎

Now with a pay wall

Sorry, not paying the e-Freeps.

New Update 7.0.1

What the description of the 7.0.1 app update didn’t say is you no longer can read the London Free Press free of charge. I guess if they had of put that in the description no one would have updated their app. I know I’m disappointed now that I did!
