Disappointed AGAIN

Viking an

I can’t believe they can release an app with such a poor user experience. Don’t care to waste my time going into all the details. I always want to give the paper I grew up with a chance and all they do is disappoint.

Buggy. Crashes. Not ready for prime time.

Management must have pushed the developers to release this too soon. I can't even get through a paragraph of an article before it crashes. New interface is no better than the old, no easier to use. And why isn't consistent with the printed paper? Different headlines, photos, etc.

Great new app

I like the new application. Easy to scroll around and read.

Type too large

AkaMaxBuz

Viewed on my iPad Pro and my regular iPad, the font is way too large on both the headlines in the body text. It makes me wonder if your developers have ever heard of responsive design. Please update.

Lose the comments

It’s my local and first source of news. Lose the comments. It distracts from the actual news. If the trolls or people who want to sprinkle fairy dust on a story need to say something, let them write to the opinion section. It distracts from the story, leaving a reader feeling righteous or vindictive and there is no dialogue. Otherwise thanks!

Version 2.0.2

Travelflake

This version locks up and crashes as soon as the ad is loaded on the main page. Quickly scroll down before the ad loads, you can read until you accidentally display the ad. I am a paid subscriber. Update to Version 2.0.4 The lock up issue seems to be resolved.

Commenting feature does not work

Randolphini

It is impossible to register a username as a commenter - the system appears to be broken. The app itself is very buggy - you tap on articles/buttons and it takes multiple tries for it to register. No improvement over the previous version, which I uninstalled because it was impossible to use.
