New version is a disaster

The new version that came out around the beginning of September 205 is a total disaster. The articles are arranged in an incomprehensible jigsaw puzzle on the screen and they jump around and get re-arranged as you scroll. You end up chasing the articles around the screen. It's kind of like a game to see if you can catch your article.

Beyond that, the nav bar on the left doesn't appear when you tap the nav icon in the upper left. You have to scroll down to get to the nav bar. And then you can't even scroll all the way to the last item.

This is apparently the first foray into mobile content design ever attempted by the company who created this mess. I would suggest going back to the previous version which was at least coherent.

Please keep this..and make the new crApp “slide” away!

This app has more content, and less intrusive ads, than that horrible “NewsSlide” abomination! Send that piece of junk back to the socialists in Montreal where it belongs, and keep THIS platform!

I’d willingly pay $10 or so per year to keep this, over the platform that has only a few stories (as well as the editorials with an obvious leftward slant) instead of all the opinion pieces (including reasonable editorials), plus the numbers of stories that are on this platform, along with being able to go back a day or two. I can’t go back to reference articles on the new platform.

Again, save this app, and please make the new one like this one, with the same amount and accessibility of content, or just scrap that app and start over!

Worst App I Have

The Blade Newslide is by far the worst performing app on my iPhone. Slow is being kind. It typically takes about 30 seconds for the app to open, way too long in today’s technology. I usually get through 3 or 4 stories and then it will freeze for another 20-30 seconds before freeing up again. That means it freezes up 5 or 6 times each day I read through the stories.
The news reporting is the same as it’s always been, not great but not bad. That’s not my issue. The Blade needs to find a team of programmers who can fix the problems!
