Ugly and frustrating

The latest redesign of the app is disturbing to look at. The headline font is ugly and the body type was easier to read when it was sans serif. I feel I am working harder now to use it.

I’m a paid, active subscriber to The Star and The Spec. After successfully logging into The Star, clicking on Settings and then my name, the field says subscriber to The Spec - not The Star. As such, I can’t read more than 3 articles before being told I need to subscribe to read more, and I ALREADY AM A PAID SUBSCRIBER. why have you not fixed this bug? The app is useless! 0 stars if I could rate 0.

Please add feature to delete or hide articles that have been read or are not of interest. Scrolling through stuff one has read is annoying.

Another completely biased, fake news paper and app. Complete disgrace to the country. If you do not tow the line, commentary is blocked.
