### 2/5 — Nice app poor execution

*2025-09-25, version 3.18.20*

I read the paper every morning on the app. Half of the time the article I am reading only loads the first section of the article and I have to switch back and forth between different articles until the article I was reading loads fully. It’s very annoying. I use an iPad.

### 5/5 — Enjoy reading

Just enjoy reading a newspaper, not for the political garbage, but local news and especially the comics.
