4–final review: The app is mysteriously back to a version that is usable. I say finally because all the difficulties made me realize I don’t really need this paper. When my subscription runs out I’m probably going to call and make sure they cancel it. The app is readable now. Some days the current paper wouldn’t pop up. I don’t know if that part is fixed yet. Only time will tell. 3–After reviewing the app last week and being asked to send screen shots I have yet a new issue and I’m removing a star. Now a google ad pops up on the bottom of the screen. When I try to close it, it asked me to give feedback. When I do I am left with text still covering the paper—“Ad closed by google.” And it’s still a small paper not filling my screen so no joy there. —————2–I had trouble with the app and was told uninstall and reinstall it. Now I have a weird tiny newspaper page in the carpenter of my iPad. Too small to read and I can’t switch pages without going back to the tiny page between EVERY Page. Hope this is fixed soon. It’s almost unusable. —————1–earlier review: This update is great! Two days in a row I have read articles without accidentally going to story mode. This was especially wonderful for the comics. Thank you! Earlier review: The app has improved greatly. Navigation through the paper is much easier.

does not scroll correctly, unremoveable overlay ad with paid subscription
Newbie in 2010
I often cannot scroll down (swipe up) to view rest of article until I swipe down a little. Similar situation when trying to stretch/expand view. Have to pinch a little first. This is all in main view.I also have an unclearable banner ad at the bottom of screen even though I'm on the paid subscription plan. Deleting app and reinstalling only fixes this for a short while. iPad5, iOS 11.2.1.
Developer Response
Our development team will look into this issue. When viewing the eEdition, the banner ad should move from view when pinching-to-zoom or double-tapping to zoom in/out, and will reappear in standard view.
Won’t open
ictlineman
Issue with app not opening. Either white screen or wichita eagle open screen, but that’s it. Sometimes turning off phone resets but today no. Usually have to get to newest Eedition from link in email, not app. It’s stuck on yesterday’s edition.
Electronic challenges
Youre nuts!
Over many months…well, probably years… I spend more time deleting your app and reloading new app…and/or talking to your customer service…than I do just reading the paper. Your management of the electronic version of the paper is abysmal!! How hard can it be for you to provide the daily version of the paper to me? I just want to read the electronic version on my iPad. Wait!!! once again, you’ve got a great new experience for me, but the paper is down (you’re sorry). Try back later. Or…delete the app and re-load. The good news is I can do that in my sleep because Ive done it so many times.
