Quit working after update

Unfortunately my local paper does not deliver on Saturdays. This forces me to read the paper on this obnoxious app. Two months ago the app did an update to “fix bugs”. I guess my tablet is a bug because the app doesn’t work anymore.

Very disappointed

So many ads! Doesn’t even seem like a newspaper, just a rolling dump of articles - many very old. Tried searching for features I used to enjoy like the comics and they were nowhere to be found. Ditto advice column and games. Total waste of time as it’s just like so many other on-line news sources I already read.

So if you have an older iPad you can’t read e-edition?

I have an older iPad and I am being forced to use your updated app, which won’t open on my iPad. Gee, thanks
