New update blocked access

As a digital subscriber, I was forced to update app this morning. Most of app works. However, access to games/puzzles section was forbidden.

Uneven experience

I use the app mostly to read the morning paper in its facsimile of the printed thing. For that, it’s pretty good and easy to use, except for the too-frequent unavoidable updates. The “top news” section is pretty useless- article are rehashed with tags claiming that they are only minutes old when I read them in the paper 2days ago.

The Pilot App

The app won’t update and now I can’t read anything. Must be some glitch that the newspaper was too busy to debug! Everything about this paper except the comics SUCKS!
