I love this app. I have it installed on an iPad Mini and an Android phone. It works perfectly on both. I like the simulation of the actual newspaper layout. We chose to get the paper delivered Wednesday through Sunday. On the off days I can page through the app just as I would the real thing. Sometimes I prefer to reach for the app instead of putting on shoes and going out to the driveway and getting the paper. I especially like reading the comics on the app. They are so much brighter and easier to read. And it is great to zoom in on the photos in articles. The articles can be isolated from the layout or read as plain text. News stories can be viewed by category before the "paper" arrives, just like the website but without annoying ads. I am sold.

After selecting to login in app, takes me to e-edition instead of login screen. If I hit the subscribe link and login, I can't return to app and be logged in. Running on Nexus7 tablet.

Needs a subscription. Might as well read it for free using the web browser

$10.00 per month, they have lost their minds. I can understand a fee if you want to read archived content but to get caught up on local news $10.00 per month. RIDICULOUS.

They should take a look at the BBC site as an example of what can be done. Bad on a Nexus 7 and kind of works on a Nexus 6P.

Was hoping this would work as pages from the Press Demo website are not readable on my android device. This app is not much better. No index or directory.displays 1 and only 1 page. Not even close t ready for prime time.

You can download the app for free but it takes you to a page that requires you have a subscription. Otherwise nothing!

They have the same stories online for days. Rarely update. Stupid, don't bother loading until they decide to keep stories current.

If you don't have a subscription to the paper, you can't use the app. The reason why I wanted to download the app is because I don't want a subscription to the paper.

Works great on my Samsung adroid tablet. Not glichy at all. User friendly. I love that it looks like a newspaper. Touch the article you want to read with two fingers and the article shows on the right of you screen. Now how easy is that!

App works very well on my 10 inch tablet, especially in Article mode. It is acceptable on my 7 inch tablet if I choose the largest available font.
