Ratings and reviews

Still slower than the website - the app takes forever to load perhaps because it's chewing through over half a gigabyte of user data (at least on my phone which has plenty of unused storage). While random refreshes seem to be less of an issue, navigation remains primitive, a throwback to the early 1990s: The lack of a persistent title bar means that you have to constantly hit the back button to return to the main page. Appalling.

Still broken. They finally fixed this page jump issue, but unfortunately broke it in another way. Now every page will get stuck while scrolling through and then after a couple of seconds will scroll again. Ar first I thought my screen may have been broken, but nope. All my other apps are fine. I had my wife try on her phone, which is a different model and she has the same issue. Just like the page jump issue, this makes the experience extremely annoying and frustrating.

the app is doing pretty good job in helping me reading the articles I would in the print version. I cannot give it a five star because of (1) dark theme disappeared causing eye strain, (2) device screen does not rotate to horizontal, and (3) the search is pretty bad, totally irrelevant; much easier to google an article, then read it on the app, than to search in the app. As of October 2024, the dark theme is working. Device screen still doesn't rotate. The search is terrible, even worse now.
