Ratings and reviews

Recent update made this app worthless. I ended uninstalling it. Not at all user friendly like the old app where you could quickly scan sections and articles. For example on the Aug 23 update, I went to the News Section to look at the latest news and the first item was "celebrity birthdays". Really? How is that even news. Will not be renewing the paper either as it has become so thin. They have to print obits now so large to take up 2 to 3 pages which in the past could fit on a half page.

Not a good experience! App loses login information, requiring re-login. If you tap on one notification, all other notifications are cleared. Maybe I wanted to check out more than one article. Click on notification, and sometimes you only get the article title, no content. Then you have to go home and search manually for that article. You have to search manually. No search!! In addition, the fomatting of articles is not good. Feels like this app was an afterthought. Annoying for a paid service!

The App fails to open 80% of the time. I have to go to the website to read the World Herald. When I click on a breaking news alert the app freezes or does not load the "breaking news" article. I said the app was horrible 7 years ago.....and nothing has changed for an upgrade in stars.
