Ratings and reviews

Too many flashing ads that get in the way. I also don't care for how the the app is formatted. Not criticizing the news content, but check out the NY Times site. They have ads, but they don't seem intrusive. Easy to find the stories you want to read as well. I am also still a subscriber to the print edition. Yes, I'm older. I know you need to keep the ads, but I need to easily find the stories that, are now, buried.

Update... App will no longer open, so I see little reason to continue my 41-year subscription to this newspaper. / / / Can't login. After entering ID and PW it just stays on login page. Because of not being logged in, app displays annoyingly loud and irrelevant videos before an article can be read. There is really no benefit from subscribing to the newspaper any longer.

On both my android phone and tablet all I get are blank pages with only the gray corner link icons to the articles. Yet if I go to the Times from the daily email, I can see everything. I ended up deleting the app and resort to accessing via the paper's email message.
