App is Horrible

The paper is great; the app is horrible.

Like the e-edition

Because it contains only the news stories of the day. Don’t like that I can’t easily share an e-edition article with my fellow subscribers. Would like an easier way to do that.

Electronic Subscription

No matter how many times I change my password every single time I try to log in to read an article it say’s wrong password. It’s ridiculous. Will not renew my subscription.

SNAFU

I took advantage of a special sale for the online version of the TU. I got the app., and I cannot read any articles, as your system said that my subscription had expired. What’s going on with you?
