Very disappointed, app doesn't remember ones log in or provide means to log in 😠. Frustration compounded by email notices which brings one to a story but then offers no way to log in to read,😡 just a solicitation to purchase an already purchased subscription. If there is a way to log in, they are keeping it very well hidden. Arrg 🤬

the one thing I DON'T like about this app is that it won't turn when I turn my phone sideways. On the old app I could read the comics turned sideways. Each one fits perfectly on a sideways phone and I could swipe left to go directly to the next one.

I like to do the Sudoku puzzle and it's not possible to fill out within the app. So, I usually print it every day. However, this app (unlike the original Gainesville Sun app), DOESN'T give printing as an option. Otherwise, the app is better. Fix this and I'll change my review to 5 stars. The old app will print it on a full sizes 8-1/2 x 12 piece of paper. This one saves as a pdf on 1/2 the size. If the old Gainesville Sun app goes away, I will stop getting the paper for this reason. Please fix!
