Stop auto refreshing. Do it like a normal app or a web page, user prompted. Secondly, make you feedback popup prompt the keyboard, we can't leave feedback because the keyboard doesn't auto popup, we can't copy and paste because the app refreshes when you get back in to leave feedback. You can see why this might get frustrating yeah?

Two app issues for me: I don't like the disabling of "readers' comments" on some of their own articles. Is it to discourage discussion on certain matters ? Secondly: Pre flight I download "Todays paper". Use of the app during a flight off-line continues to lose "Todays paper" making it impossible to read what you had thought was downloaded and would be otherwise accessible off-line.

No problem with the journalism but the app, which used to be very good, has taken a huge downturn. It has become extremely slow and the mind games no longer keep track of their use (and, if there is an interruption, you have to start the game over again). I have complained about this twice before but received no acknowledgement, let alone any corrective action.
