Dinosaurs evolve

I had said many times ‘I have to hold a newspaper in my hands in order to enjoy reading the news’. After taking five minutes to learn to navigate how to go online and read it all online I am as happy as a T Rex munching on a sauropod.

Crashes in OS 14

I've enjoyed this app for several years. I appreciate being able to read the full paper. Since upgrading to OS 14, the app crashes frequently on opening a new story. Hope the developers fix this.

Living in Tennessee it was hard to keep up with Bama Sports before I subscribed to the News.
