Links are so easily clicked - Stop it!

Hi LATimes, I like to hold my finger on the screen to scroll through articles. But when there is a link in the article, this action causes the article link to open. Please make it stop. I’ve started to only “hold” the page in the margins and I am not near the links and that still opens up the link. I love being able to reference other articles. But please make it stop automatically opening. Thank you,
Really bad bug and horrible tech support
CaliforniaNice
It pains me to have to write this bad review since I like the LA Times. Recently the app has become almost impossible to use. All the hyperlinks are super sensitive and are not bounded by their text. If you scroll through an article, you keep getting thrown to the links. It’s super annoying and makes it really unpleasant to use. I communicated with customer service about this around six times and they were totally 100% useless (I’d use harsher words if it were allowed here). They never put me in touch with tech support, who presumably would be less clueless. LA Times, for goodness sake, get your act together folks.
Hyperlinks are terrible
Codeguy
I used to really enjoy the LA Times app; however, the problems with the hyperlinks have ruined the app. You cannot avoid touching the hyperlinks and being redirected to another page. It is extremely frustrating. I can’t believe the app development staff at the LA Times hasn’t already fixed this problem. Does the executive staff of the LA Times not use their own app? The hyperlinks sensitivity problem/bug has changed the LA Times app from being one of the best news apps to the absolute worst. IT staff at the Times, please fix this problem ASAP!!! Thank you.
Awful

This amateurishly “designed” app is one of the worst of any U.S. newspapers. Compare it to those of the N.Y.Times or the (probably best) Washington Post. Way outdated stories lead off the graphically impossible home page, retro by about ten years, not to mention that checking for up-to-date world news usually leads to days-old local sports and other meaningless tabloid events. At the time of this review Catalonia is being ripped apart by riots, covered in almost real time by the papers mentioned above, and the top story in this app is “Ed Buck was known for his abrasive behavior.” As the once-great L.A.T. sinks into irrelevance, this app was dead and buried on launch.
The hyperlink mania

Every time i scroll through the app i hit the hyperlinks and I am constantly back on forth!
I want to support newspaper, but..

I want to support newspaper but I canceled my subscription because of the technical snags and glitches that constantly occurred with the online paper. So until they improve, I’m sticking to the NYT.
How to report issues?
JXWINKS
So, I’m trying to report an issue with the app on my iPad but app support takes me to an FAQ on the LA Times website and no way to report the issue. My issue is that the app DOES NOT recognize that my iPad is on WiFi only so trying to get to the Archive or Download the paper from within the App gives me an error that I’m not connected to the Internet...which clearly isn’t true since I’m actively reading the eNewspaper. I can still use this iPad to take these steps in Safari, just not in the App. Please note that I don’t have this issue with the sister Chicago Tribune app.
WiFi only?

Why does this app only work when you’re on a wifi network? This makes it useless most of the time, since I can’t load any news on the go
