Ratings and reviews

This app does not work 90% of the time. It usually opens and doesn't get farther than a black screen or it gets stuck with the message that it is downloading fonts. the only way I can get it to work is uninstall and reinstall every time which takes up most of newspaper reading time. Its a waste of the monthly subscription fee I'm paying.

The only good thing about this app is the content, and, depending on how involved the owners are, that's sometimes questionable. The first time I open a new edition, it hangs up on downloading the fonts. I have to close it out and try again. Then it usually opens. Every time I have to sign in ( e.g. after an update,) it doesn't recognize my name and password so I have to go through the whole rigamarole of creating a new password, etc. It's just so much work.

The ONLY reason I dl this app was for the contests. So I'm really irritated that the app just pops open on it's own EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. When I do try to use this app it opens in full screen, then switches to normal- even though I don't use auto-rotate. Plus it doesn't even load properly, so I can't even read half the articles or ENTER THE CONTESTS (WHICH IS THE WHOLE REASON I HAVE THIS APP)!!!
