Read the reviews and was not too excited to try the new app. I thought the old app was fine but understand the reason for the change. It took longer to get the iPhone app but that is how Apple works. I got the new app and installed it. The first time I tried to open it, the app seemed to hang for several minutes. I closed the app and reopened it. It loaded in seconds. I really like the new layout. Very clean and fast. I wish the user could swipe from story to story however without having to return to the home screen. Overall, I like the new app!

Each and every time you want to post a comment you have to log in and use your password. Yes from one article to the next. Each comment you post you need to sign back in. Also who “writes” these articles and who takes the pictures, a 2nd grader? Have the pictures don’t even have anything to do with the article. Oh who is standing next to person X, oh just some random person. What? Wow
Why does it take 5 minutes to load into app?!?!

I can’t even review the app, because it takes 5+ minutes to load into the app. Garbage!
Useless on iPad

Always in the portrait mode. I’m not going to turn my iPad and case in order to use it.
In this latest version, notifications are now less intrusive, creating a smoother first-time experience, along with additional stability and performance improvements behind the scenes for a faster, more seamless app experience overall.
