New version corrects some of the issues but creates new ones. All options should be under More/Options. For example "auto download" is under "See All" and edition selection is under "Edit". Not very intuitive! When exiting "Text View", the page is zoomed and the section menu at the bottom is displayed. To get back to full screen you have to scroll to the next page and back to get back to the full page view. Very frustrating. It should automatically return to the full screen view.

The April 2022 upgrade to this app is appalling. I have used Globe2Go on Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for over a year and had no issues with the previous app. I could zoom in on text and images easily. Now I get random moving black numbers and grid lines superimposed on the page that block image and text when I zoom, the 'text view' selection works inconsistently, photo quality is low, just an epic fail in every way. Why not offer this as beta version until it's fully tested on all devices and some of the problems are worked out? We didn't need another 'app' version of the Globe, the digital replica version was distinct, offered high resolution reading and great integration with PressReader. If I didn’t value the quality of the journalism I would have cancelled by now.

Sometimes the article is not download properly, text view and the listening funtion will not work. The solution is to delete and re-download. However the re-download function is not easy to find. Should have the delete function listed as one of the menu functions. Keep up with the good work
