Glad to have it but...

Randy@BCC

But the app has crashed five time in the first 10 minutes of use. Not unusual with a new app but please fix the stability issues.

I appreciate being able to read the paper on my iPad, but the app crashes repeatedly. I typically have to restart the app at least half a dozen times to get through an issue. Also, the image quality is great once it loads, but the load time is long, even on a very high speed network.

Has potential but doesn't work well

I like getting content on my iPad but this app isn't very good. When it works it's great but it frequently won't load the paper and I stare at a blank screen. Also, I went to the developer page to let the know about the problems and couldn't find an area to address my concerns. Could be very good but needs work.

Very poor iOS app

Very poor app, not all that usable for for reading the GRPress. Font is fuzzy when you zoom in, pages load slowly, app crashes.

I get 6000 characters but only need 2: PU.

Crash prone, slow

The idea behind this app is pretty great: to read the GR Press just like the physical paper. However, the app is constantly crashing and generally slow to load every page. The response time when moving around or turning pages is horrendous. I would've hoped for these issues to be fixed within the first couple months of the app's launch, but still they linger daily. If you're going to take away my physical paper and only offer an e-edition 4 days a week, at least make the app stable and responsive.

Better than online but crashes

This app is much more user friendly than the web version so I am enjoying the ability to read clearly. Unfortunately, it crashes from time to time, although at least it reopens at the spot where it crashes. I also haven't figured out how to forward an article via email.

Wish I could use this, but....

I am unable to access the application even though I have an ereplica subscription. I keep getting an error message that states my user name and password are incorrect. This in spite of an email that I received confirming my user name and password. Then once I receive the error message, I am unable to close the screen. It is at this time I receive an error message that states I must be logged in to close the page. Trying to find answers to fix problems is an exercise in frustration. Deleting the app until all this nonsense is fixed.

Landscape is gone

Update so I can view in landscape again. Other apps fixed this post iOS 7, you should too.

Needs lots of work

App still crashes, locks up, pages at times won't focus, is slow to turn pages etc. I do like the change where it goes to the top of the next page from previous page. I have the ipad 3 which should handle this type of app. It is the worse app I have and am ready to unsubscribe from the paper due to the problems I have trying to read the paper on an Ipad. Needs lots of improvement!
