New version is not as good for reading

It seems ‘fancier’ or something with more features, but all I want to do is read the daily paper and the previous version of the app was much better suited for that, much easier to navigate through the pages and select articles from the page. This version is definitely a step backwards in that respect.

New VN app

The new app for reading E-edition is not as user friendly as the previous app. It is very inconsistent when taping on a specific article. Moreover, it does not always work. Too bad VN didn’t test this and work out “kinks” before launching!

Bugs in the app

The new app has the entire paper numbered by page, so it’s difficult to navigate to the jump when reading the e-paper.
