Just when we get this app figured out, they changed it. And not for the better. While reading the e-edition, you cannot make the newspaper big enough to read it. Worthless. The old feature where you could find different pages is gone, too. I hope someone reads this and fixes this mess!!!

I just subscribed, and so far, I like what I see. The only thing is that this paper needs to report on the serious matters of the day. A mistake was made in the designs of a certain jacket, and it seems as if everyone blew it out of proportion, which called even more attention to it. My question was simple: Why? There is way too much attention for a wardrobe mistake. The designer did not do it on purpose, so why make it worse than it was?
