Doesn’t stay on article

When switching away from an article and back it doesn’t hold context and takes you to the first story on the app. Very poor quality control.

Bad UX / IT support

Good luck trying to send an article to someone from the app. They get a dead links

Doesn’t work

Yes, I’m logged in, yes I have an active subscription, yes I can read everything on the website. I can’t read certain articles in the app, the entire weather section is greyed out.

Still clunky

Compared to other newspaper apps this is clunky, hard to search for articles, and not intuitive.

Can’t access stories

I’ve been paying my subscription (expensive), but I’m can’t access stories. This app is terrible. Next week I’m cancelling.
