App crashes frequently, even when not open. I can rarely get through reading one article without the app crashing, I haven't been able to read more than one per day in months. I suspect it has something to do with ads embedded in articles; crashing oven occurs when scrolling down past new ad. This appallingly poor behaviour has persisted periodically for years and gotten worse in the last few months to the point of being unusable. The Register has great reporting, but the app is total garbage.

Couldnt locate a link to make a direct complaint to the paper -- which is a problem in itself. App design has annoyed me a number of times. I read the NYTimes and Washington Post on apps, so I know a good experience is possible. Register: Their links aren't always correct. Difficult to find an article that's in the paper version of the paper. Simply- cumbersome.

More difficult to use than enewspaper only app. I have a good sized phone, but page-to-page navigation and enlarging of an article works inconsistently if at all.
