Ratings and reviews

Tapping a notification doesn't take you to the article, the search is worthless (entering multiple words from the headline in the notification doesn't locate the article), and you can't filter stories by date. If I don't want to see what are presented as the current top stories, then using this app is more of a hindrance than a help. As an app for an organization that purports to convey information this fails to do a good job on almost every level.

It used to be in newspaper format which is what I liked. A couple of days ago it stopped working, just giving a blank page. I reinstalled it and now it is just sections to click on. Bring back at least the option of newspaper format. I do not like this and will stop my subscription if it does not change back... also the "settings" has no settings, just contact info.. how about options of reading formats??

Now the mobile app wants money, but it's not really worth paying for. Sections difficult to navigate; often when you open a section the same article repeats numerous times, has frequent typos or is badly written. Regular online version has same content and is free (so far).
