Great highlights in easy-to-use reader environment. Love that it's daily in the afternoon when most others send in the a.m.

E-edition is supposed to be free to print subscribers. But there is no way to register as a print subscriber, only a login for existing e-subscribers. STUPID. I have told one News staff member I don't think there will be a paper in 5 years.

In 30 seconds this app drove me away! Why on earth would you make a Newspaper app download a high quality image of each page!? Way to make loading a page horribly slow! I was expecting more of an RSS feed style app. Instead you get arrows to flip through terribly slow images of the paper. Also, my keyboard covers the password box on the login page. Would be nice to be able to scroll down to it instead of having to remove the keyboard and tap the box.

Actually this app is quite a bit worse than useless. After uninstall leaves all of the aforementioned huge page files in internal memory spread through several folders. You have to slog through your files to remove them all.
