Ratings and reviews

Very poor news app. Very disorganized. I have seen stories repeated a half dozen times and old stories often show up at the beginning with new stories in the middle or at the end. This app makes news browsing inconvenient. Forgot to mention, they will offer you a promotional offer then a year later will charge your card for more than 250 per year. Don't contact them they won't cancel it. Absolutely worst news organization ever. I looks like they have about 2 reporters and the news it old.

I'm a digital only subscriber and while it's not perfect, the app works fine. I logged in, browsed around a bit, and then opened the pinch-and-zoom eEdition. The content is easy enough to navigate and read in both formats, and, IMHO, neither is excessive with respect to ads. No search, but not a deal breaker for me.

Don't like the new eEdition. Pop up ads must go, can't read the paper full screen because of the ads taking up the left side of the screen. I want to read the Olympian just as I would with my delivered paper, no ads. Changes to the eEdition took away options for page layout, cropping, and printing. This is what happens to a local newspaper when Corporate Big-Wigs get ahold of it and all they see are $$$$ for them.

What's new

• eEdition page browser navigation: Fixes a bug some users encountered where if you tapped a thumbnail in the eEdition page browser, the app would load a blank screen.
• Minor stability improvements.
