App does not retain subscription log in

Every time I use the app I have to log out and log back in to see stories behind paywall. Please fix this!!!

7.6.26 Continued subscription issues

I continue to have subscription issues. I’ve shown my subscription. I’ve told them (Anna) told them I prefer signing in with my Apple account. I can sign in but there is a 1 one article limit. They got my money. 🦠

The new update is UNUSABLE

PROBLEM 1: Since the update, clicking on many of the headlines don’t load the article but just a white page saying unable to find article (which I can easily find the same article on the web) and there’s no way to get back to the headlines. I have to exit the app and reload.

PROBLEM 2: With just about every article, a paragraph about 2/3 of the way down loses everything after the first line. It’s as though there’s no word wrap and the text extends beyond the right margin.

PROBLEM 3: The app no longer auto-refreshes. I now have to always pull down the page to force to refresh.

All this is not even to mention the fact that the new UI tweaks are pretty meh, boring and uninspired.

This update was a step backward, not forward.

New app

Lots of bugs keep having to delete and reopen. Now in limbo

Can’t read any reviews

For some reason, every story says “Full story unavailable check internet connection” - even though I have a solid connection and a paid subscription. Very annoying! Yes, I have the latest version of the app. It never used to do this. It seems that something in the latest update caused this.
