Finally making a bit of progress
This last update seems to have really drastically improved the speed, responsiveness, and general layout of the app. It wasn’t a great app before but this update two weeks ago really sped up everything. Thanks to the anonymous dev who put some time into the app. I know your update just mentioned “app improvements “ but at least one person totally recognized the improvement.

Love new layout but detest the “ads bar”
Get rid of “ads bar” make it a real newspaper without the annoyance at the bottom of every page! I know it can be done since it has sporadically popped in & out and other newspapers using same template have eliminated ads!
Worst app ever
This has got to be the worst app I’ve ever used. The current day’s paper does not always show when I open the app each morning. The app has to be deleted then reinstalled to see the current day’s version. Today I’m only getting the puzzle section and one page of the Business section. Yesterday entire articles were chopped off at the end. Garbage app.

App and e paper are useless
We have been post and courier subscribers for almost 40 years. We gladly switched to the digital edition when it came out. The new app that came out in the past month or so is almost impossible to use. The top and bottom toolbars plus the ad bars take up almost a quarter of my iPad screen. Then just a few days ago, the app became completely useless. Downloading the paper results in a full page of minute print. The “next” button shows two pages of the paper, with minute print. Expanding the page makes the page wobbly, and the next button still takes us to two tiny pages of print. The E edition on the web is just as bad. I have called and been told that there is not a problem, as if I am making up this awful experience.

Ad bar went away for a few weeks then suddenly it’s back
Who is managing this app? After much complaining, the ad bar went away and for a couple weeks it was pleasant reading. Now the stupid ad bar is back. As much as we pay for this subscription we should not be subjected to more irritating, content covering ads inside the app. Maybe fire the folks managing the app and find someone who knows what they are doing?

Garbage UPDATE
It is clear they can remove the ad bar, as it went away for a few weeks, but alas it is back. Come folks, get your act together! End of the month I find my local news elsewhere if the ad bar is still there.
What the heck is with the advertising bar in the middle of the page. I am paying for this paper, and I don’t want to see an advertising bar on the page. This is not a free version of the paper. Please remove the advertising bar or at the very least to make it possible for the reader to close it out. It’s blocking much of the text, and is annoying. I know local newspapers are worried about subscribership, but I can tell you that this is not the way to treat your subscribers. I will unsubscribe from this paper if you continue an app that has advertising that is not removable.

No improvement
The old version was clunky and buggy; this version is clunky and buggy. If you try to go back a page, the App signs you out. Random ads that cannot be closed out mask the bottom third of the page. The paper is 50% or so advertising already; why do they need to add another layer of ads? (Actually, I know the answer to that question and it has nothing to do with delivering news).

Great Update!
Love the new app. Great content and now everything in one place... the e-paper and the real-time news. It's been long overdue but very appreciated. And great content as always. Happy subscriber.
Fix the Ad Display and where are the Sunday Comics? Update
First of all, I love the paper content. What I find frustrating with this new version is that the ad at the bottom on the paper covers the content at the bottom of the paper. You have to manipulate the paper or article just to read the paper. Please fix this and place those ad banners someplace that they don’t cover content. In addition, the the Sunday edition no longer includes the Sunday comics. Why?
Update.
Good news. Now we can find the Sunday comics, thank you. It appears there is an improvement on the floating ads at the bottom of the screen, but I’ll give it a bit more time to see if it is a consistent fix.

Terrible
Can’t log in to the new app. No one seems to know how to fix, or care to fix.
Total fail.
The new update has made what was a user friendly app into a chore. Reading individual articles is no longer seamless. The floating ad covers portions of the stories and there’s no way to get it out of the way.
Whoever thought this was an improvement is clueless. The change is a total fail.

Annoying Ad Displays
Please remove the rotating ads that display at the bottom of the screen. They’re extremely annoying and a distraction.
Still not working
With new app update, I am unable to read/access any of the newspaper on my iPad. Repeated logins, cleared cookies, reloaded app,, changed password. Spent 30+ minutes on phone with staff. Still no paper…. Wonder if I will still be billed for this poor service?
The worst
Paying for a paper that I can’t read. Will not allow me to sign in!
Yet another bad update
Story continues, good content but the app is awful. The latest is even more clunky than before. Viewing the paper layout requires constant swiping and zooming to read and avoid the obnoxious ad banner. It’s like no one even tries this app before they release it? Two simple examples: When zoomed to full page, the ad banner should not cover the bottom of the page. And you should be able to swipe to the next page without auto zooming out, covering up the top and bottom of the page so you have to zoom in again and swipe around to read. I think a high school programming class could build a better app.

Fix the format
This new version broke the format on iPads. It is no longer like reading the paper. It appears to be formatted to fit on a phone screen and when enlarged, it is huge requiring much scrolling. This app wasn’t broken before this “upgrade”. Why mess with it?
Endless loop of logins-no access to content
This app simply does NOT WORK! It sends you an email link to login, you do and then covers up the article with a request to subscribe or login. You can do this a zillion times, but it won't let you see content.
Waste of time.
Waste of time.
New version not good
Just opened the new version…not good. Places an ad nearly in the middle of the page. Get it out of there! The higher resolution is very good.
New app
This app does not work on my iPad. Obviously, it doesn’t work on a desktop computer so I am FORCED to try to read the paper on my phone. I can’t get a hard copy because they no longer deliver to my area.
I am strongly contemplating asking for a refund.

Hate the banner ads
Cant make them go away. Looking for a different platform to get daily local news. The P&C also has developed a liberal and biased perspective and journalistic standards are poor,
