Horrible, horrible app. On my Android phone, it says I'm logged in but won't let me access the articles. Tried all the obvious solutions, delete, reload, with no luck. On my Android tablet, the sections come up only as pictures with no captions. The e-edition is blank. No option there cause it's completely unavailable to me. Customer service is foreign and after 15 minutes with them, got hung up on. Nothing ever got resolved. My options are to use the website or cancel my subscription.

since delivery became ridiculously expensive and undependable, I bought a tablet and transitioned to the print version on the app. Completely used to it now. Also I would like to add that we are saving tons of single use newsprint paper so that alone would make it worthwhile. The only problem I have is sometimes if I get up to get another cup of coffee it asks me to sign in again.

The app continues to say I have read my 'free' articles and refuses to open news though I am a paid subscriber. It often closes without reason also. Going on the web to read the News is a lousy solution but it does not deny me access, once signed in. FIX THIS IN APP!! Reading the E-version is very difficult also due to type sizes.
