Version 14.0: A Step Backwards
The most recent update, v. 14, removed the convenience of being able to simply swipe to the next article. Now after reading an article you have to go back to the contents page and figure out where you left off. May sound like a petty complaint but it adds an inconvenient extra step compared to the prior version. I wish there was a way to revert to the old version of this app. UPDATE: I have woken up every morning and frantically, with fingers crossed, check for an update for this buggy, crappy app. Nothing. The app is still terrible, terrible, terrible. Another app update, still a failure. The app is buggy, slow and cumbersome to navigate. And I even have to laugh at this: the most recent update says it makes the print edition available for offline viewing. WRONG! Still no offline viewing. Terrible! UPDATE NOVEMBER 16, 2023 Getting better, but still 1 star. When you open the app and go to Print Edition, you see…. yesterday’s paper! You have to exit the app, wait a bit, and restart. Also, articles are inconsistently formatted. Some you can change text size, some you can’t. And when you change text size on one article, your preference doesn’t stick with other articles like the prior app version. Oh, and when you watch a video and swipe to the next article, the video, including ads, keep playing! You have to exit the app restart to make the video stop.
