Ratings and reviews

Crashes continuously. Won't even open anymore on samsung android. Un-installed and reinstalled. When it "worked" you'd always get a different story than what was clicked. Update: well it launches and then closes again. The next time it stays open but then I have to log in again. If you browse for a few minutes it starts opening the wrong stories. It's an indexing problem when a story gets added but you would think they could come up with a scheme that would survive updates.

I support local journalism as it is a valuable resource. That said, disappointed with this app. It requires re-login constantly - at best every other time I open it. Good for browsing headlines but a hassle if you want to actually read articles. Add to it the price of my monthly digital subscription continues to increases without any notification or warning every 12 months. I understand good journalism costs money to produce but the cost is now outweighing the value being offered.

This app and the customer service both need some improvement. The app locks up routinely, requiring a "force stop." I deleted the app and reinstalled it but then couldn't sign in again because of some stupid verification process that is a recurring loop. It says I have too many devices and I am the only one who uses it. No way to resolve it online and customer service doesn't seem to know what I am talking about. Very frustrated. I print out some puzzles, Jumble always has right margin missing
