New app is fantastic

The new app is a significant improvement over the old one. So a lot of the complaints here are no longer accurate. My only remaining gripe is the share option still includes an entire paragraph instead of just the URL.

Would also be nice if opening the URL in a browser would give you the option to open in the app.

Articles close themselves?

I love The Columbian and have an online subscription. A lot of times I just read their website because on the app the articles seem to have minds of their own and close themselves while I am still reading them. :(
