Worst website

Why can’t I open the new app on my iPad 5?

Fix the obituary section

Since they did the update on the mass live app you can no longer search or filter obits. This ridiculous the update should have made it better. I have a subscription to mass live now I regret renewing it for the year.

Too difficult

I used to love this app as I can no longer afford to get the newspaper. I read several items on a daily basis and there seems to be no way to get App support. I especially miss getting to the obituaries. I am 82 and I never know when someone I knew or worked with has died. Please someone update the app so it works. I pay for it to work on a daily basis.
I may need to reluctantly decided to delete the app. No obits, no sports info, etc. this happened just after the latest update. Prior to that it was working very well.
PLEASE CHANGE THE WAY THE OBITS ARE PRESENTED. NOT JUST THE NAMES SCATTERED SUCH THAT I CAN NOT FIND THE FULL OBIT FOR EACH PERSON. MAKE IT LIKE IT WAS BEFORE.
