Improved local coverage

I had thought seriously about canceling after decades of reading the Times. Bringing back more local news changed my mind. The St. Cloud “area” news is most relevant to those who live here. Thanks for adding us back.

Love the eNewspaper

I love the feel and organization of the eNewspaper. I don’t feel like I could have missed an article when I’ve finished reading it. I don’t like the pop-up that appears when I first launch the app. It is very annoying. I would assume paying my subscription fee would save me from such little annoyances.

Unable to access on iPhone

In the several weeks since this app was launched, I have not been able to access my account on my iPhone. Everyone I’ve spoken to at sctimes has been unable to help and has forwarded this issue to someone else to no avail.
