Chicago Sun-Times 4+

App is simple and easy to use. Swiping your finger turns the page. My only gripe is the app doesn’t save your place if you close it. It always opens on the front page. Other than that, I’m satisfied and use the app to read the news every morning.

UPDATE: I am now upgrading my rating from a one star to three stars because it appears that the kinks are out and it now works as expected. I would have given it five stars but it took customer service way too long to respond to my emails.

April 2nd they did an update to the app and I have not been able to receive my paper more than 2 consecutive days. It may show up but u can not download it or the download form will appear the next day. I send emails explaining each incident to no avail. I even tried to call and speak to tech support but that's not allowed; you must email your issue. How's that for customer service for a company hanging on to its existence? I'm calling in my cancellation to my 7 day subscription that I've had since 1984 and will be content with just reading the daily Chicago Tribune. Wonder if someone will contact me then.

Pluses---able now to email/print articles and crosswords.

Negatives--Can't get rid of annoying headers and footers; pages reset to smaller size each time so I have to expand every page; headlines now in a standout blue which I find distracting and ugly; can't expand crossword for printing so easier to work; no longer have pages to select, only categories--if I want to read hockey but not baseball, I have to scroll through the whole section.

Overall--made an effort to look more like a web page which is silly because if I wanted a web page, I'd go to the web page! The app should be more like a newspaper, like the previous version. This is just like New Coke--basically a total failure in my book!
