Process for getting new editions into the app is pretty bad; not smooth at all. Certainly not automatic. It involves frustration. Sometimes doesnt bring in the pictures. Too often asks to verify credentials. Once it finally downloads the paper, it is ok for reading. Many times the last line of a column gets cut off, but I can overlook that. I like to read my paper cover to cover and unfortunately this is my only means to do so 4 days a week.

It is virtually impossible to delete Editions that I have already read. This is extremely frustrating as I am running out of storage on my device. Other than that the app is fine. I much prefer print newspapers though.

Oftentimes new editions just won't download. Crashes often. Works fine on my laptop but horribly on my tablet.

This app cuts off columns. Sometimes if you try to download it goes into a loop. It logs me out which it shouldn't do. After that it won't let me log in. Terrible execution.

Periodically have to delete app . Can't delete old editions . Page 2 takes to long to show pictures.

When the app works it's good but when it doesn't it's a pain in the butt, and it's a pain more often than it should.
