Disappointed – The Post-Star Review

The update text of this version promoted "broad categories" with "no need to drill down through menus." I must be one of the few who like to know what section I'm in because I find the new More section too much of a hodgepodge to be readable. I'd prefer to use the individual sections (Trending/Entertainment/Life etc). This may make it easier on setting up the app--just have all feeds dump into one place--but not as helpful for this reader. Perhaps few other users realized these other sections were available and just stuck to the opening Latest section. They may not know what they're missing but I do. Also, the update text talked about "enhanced tools for managing notifications" but I don't see anything like that in Settings. Nice of you to get rid of the Premium paywall that was added not too long ago. This doesn't affect me since my husband and I are paid e-edition subscribers. He still reads it on his tablet every morning. Instead of doing that, I found it easier to view the app and the sections I liked multiple times a day. Now, I'll likely just scan the Latest section morning and night and Obituaries once a day and call it good enough. Updated: 9/11/15 App now doing phantom clickthroughs to App store as reported by others. Not worth dealing with. Deleting. Rating going down to 1 from 2.
