Ratings and Reviews
Great for news but crashes a lot
I love being able to check the local news but I find the app is not completely loading properly or keeps crashing. I have just deleted and reinstalled it so we'll see if that fixes it.
Application Layout
We find the layout poor in comparison to other e-papers we buy. Many papers show you a layout that is similar to the paper print version with each page of each section. For example, the screen splits and on the left showing the print version of the paper and when you select an article on the right side it appears and you can read and scroll the entire article to the end even if it rolls to another page. San Jose Mercury has this type of layout if you want to see it. Please consider an app layout like that as I am sure those apps are generic and can be procured for iPad and other renderings. We enjoy the content but the layout is not up to standard.
The app won't open
Loading . . . Loading . . . Loading . . . still hasn't opened.
The previous version worked fine, but this one won't open on my phone. I think there are more bugs to work out.
