Fix your damn app

It does not work. You pay for something, you want to subscribe to good local journalism, and then it tells you that you havent paid for anything yet.

Fix it. People want to support local journalism and they want what you got FIX THE APP.

A guy thats been ticked with you for YEARS now

Good app for reading news

Gets the job done well. The Home/Latest button is a bit mysterious.

I had previously reported a scrolling problem that rendered the app almost unusable. It took a while, I think it was actually an iPadOS 26 issue, but it was resolved. Communication with the developers and support was good. Thanks to them.

Response from developer

Hi there, I’m sorry to hear this bug has been such a headache for you and that it led you to cancel your subscription. I wanted to reach out and let you know that our team has officially resolved the auto-scrolling issue in the latest app version.

Jan 18/26. Still - Old news not updated

Same old, same old. No change in editorial shown.

I just updated the app and the old editorial from August 14, is still shown as the most recent editorial today, September 15. Why is this app so messed up on posting the recent editorials? I pay for my subscription and I’d appreciate knowing what’s being published as an editorial in these uncertain times of upheaval.

Does the job, one big annoyance

Update: a month later and after latest update 9.59.0, this still happens. Have already cancelled subscription but I'm stuck with it until it expires in seven months.

When I finish reading an article and press the Back arrow, the main screen scrolls to the top so I have to scroll down and try to find where I was to keep reading. Gets annoying fast.
