Ratings and reviews

Far too much sports coverage and no way to prioritize news. If you don't care about sports, just recognize you're buying a sports app. Also, they changed the way you scroll horizontally across grouped articles to a button and not a scrolling motion. This means that if you use the expected scrolling motion, instead of moving to the next article, you move to a separate section of the app. For example, from general news to Metro news. Non standard scrolling makes the app very frustrating.

The epaper no longer displays correctly on my tablet. It broke on March 27, 2024. When you open the epaper, it does not automatically fit to the screen. You get half pages and multiple pages, and you have to constantly manually resize it. I have switched back to reading the paper in Chrome, where it works as it should.

UPDATE: The error I described below was caused by an unrelated issue with my account (not related to the app). The app works as designed now that that issue has been fixed. With the new update, the app won't let me log in to read articles. It shows a black screen with blue text saying "Your request is like Bad Medicine. OauthController: client_id is invalid" No idea how to fix it, tried reinstalling and everything
