Get Over It

Let go of the TDS stuff and just report the news. Your USA Today roots are beginning to taint an otherwise good paper
SGSamuel Gastonia

Good option

I enjoy the e-version of the paper because it’s more convenient overall than the paper version. It’s always on my phone wither I’m at home or away. I don’t have to worry about it being delivered on days the weather is bad, or if we are, on those rare occasions, snowed in.
Just over-all, a more convenient form which fits into my lifestyle better than paper.

Worst E newspaper app ever

This app rarely works in the enewspaperv format and the general news app is inadequate as well. I am surrendering in frustration after too many calls to customer service
