I don't like this app at all. Cancelled home delivery of hard copy because of delivery problems, e- version isn't a good alternative. Unstable and finicky on my phone. Going back one page often throws me clear back to the starting "read now" or "download" choice. Turns pages unexpectedly when I don't want it to, but i have to fight it when I do want a page turn. New page often not centered on the screen. Not big enough on portrait orientation, huge and off the screen when I turn to landscape.

The loading speed has improved significantly, which is a big plus. Now the frustration is with notifications. If I click on a particular notification headline I would expect it to take me to that story. Instead it simply launches the app in the default mode. I have search for the particular story I went there to read. The title of the notifications also don't say it's the News & Observer but "generic news"

We are aware of an issue affecting push notifications and we're working to resolve it, there will be a version release to address this.

The newspaper has good content, but this app is weak. Links from headlines on the splash screen often open to a "page missing" page only for you to backpage to the article. However, you're not so lucky following links past this-- if you click links in articles you just get more blank "missing" pages with no way to actually access them. Also, notifications often pop up and when you click these you aren't taken to the article but just the main N&O splash page .

Try clearing the cache on the app by going to the settings tab in the app < Data Usage < Clear Cache; then force quitting the app and re-launching it. Please let us know if the loading issue is not resolved.
