Ratings and reviews

I have a paid subscription & with the app I get notifications and check out what interests me. Lately when I tap a notification, it opens the app, then opens the Chrome browser. No reason to do so, just take me to the article for which I have the app, no? So now it opens 2 apps & Chrome is not even the default browser for me on my phone. Furthermore, this app frequently signs you out, so even though I'm a paying customer, I often look at an article & then sign in all over again to keep reading.

Was really hoping bad reviews were wrong, but this app is nearly nonfunctional. Articles don't load, links are broken, searches don't work. Of the articles that do load, the corresponding photos never load. I searched on the exact title of an article published yesterday, part of a 5-part series. No results. (Using fast wifi and a Galaxy Note8, which is working fine with other apps.) I normally err on the side of keeping an app installed. And I do want to support the Oregonian, if only for the tiny shred of community they still provide. But this app didn't even last 20 minutes on my phone.

It has all kids of problems, at least on a Samsun s8. Articles will have funky text sometimes, sometimes the body of the article, it freezes, the comments section is terrible - if someone replies to you, you have to click on the notification which takes you to the article, not the comment, then click the comment button which takes you to your comment. However, it won't show the other person's reply to yours. You have to fish through all the comments if you want that.
