### 5/5 — Easy read

*2026-05-16, version 8.10.1*

Easy to navigate

### 5/5 — Easy read

*2025-05-12*

Easy to navigate

### 1/5 — New edition.  No. Std times

*2023-11-05, version 7.3.3*

Please stop sending your new edition, it comes zoomed and if you get it to work it goes to the bottom of the next page when you turn pages.

### 1/5 — New format terrible

*2023-10-28, version 7.3.3*

Impossible to bring up full page view & only will sit on only half the display area on iPad. I am leaving the old app on my phone

### 1/5 — New format is hard to use

*2023-10-17, version 7.3.3*

When I read the paper I like to use e-newspaper, but it continually locks up and frozen!
The other format choices are not in clear understandable layouts
I used to like the paper and have been a subscriber for over 30 years.
And I continue to pay my subscription to read the e paper.

But unless this changes and works better I will be forced to drop my subscription

### 1/5 — Standard times

*2023-08-26, version 7.1.2*

I need this publication any longer

### 1/5 — Worst experience ever.

*2023-08-12, version 7.1.2*

Impossible to navigate, annoying pop up advertisements, I give up.

### 1/5 — STANDARD TIMES

*2023-08-08, version 7.1.2*

I’m a subscriber ( but not for long). This publication is crap.
The same news stories reappear throughout the week.Sports section is the worse. The FREE app they offer online is just as good ( bad) .If you want informative, up to date news, this isn’t the publication to read.

### 1/5 — Format change.

*2023-08-04, version 7.1.2*

Did anyone think someone would be using a Ipad. Very difficult to use. Bring back old format.

### 2/5 — Does not allow you to see news first

*2022-10-08, version 6.12.5*

This app seems to assume that all people really want to read is the sports. It should allow you to default initially to the news page
