The Tribune app won't even open on my Android phone anymore. It freezes at the The Tribune opening screen. What good does it do to pay for a digital subscription if I can't read the paper when I'm out and about. From reading other reviews it seems a rather endemic problem for Android users. I really hope you can fix this glitch .

Try clearing the cache on the app, and then delete and reinstall, this should resolve the loading issue. If the problem continues, take a screen recording and email it to mobile-team@mcclatchyinteractive.com for further assistance.

The app is pretty frustrating on an Android phone. First, when you want to read an article, you tap it so that it opens. But if you hit your back button, it takes you out of the paper altogether and you have to reopen it from the beginning. Then, some articles aren't set up this way - you have to read them by enlarging them with your fingers. But this is so difficult - it either opens an adjacent article or it is so hard to control the size you can't get it to be readable.
