Works sporadically on Samsung S9 Tablet. Most often the editions don't load. Viewing the print edition on the app is nearly impossible yet these are the editions that have additional material. Update: crashes quite often. Preferred text size cannot be saved so you must update it every time you use the app. Text size does not change unless you change it a couple times. Even if you lock to landscape or portrait mode the app ignores that and rotates freely.

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.
