I will cancel my subscription if the app is not improved. This app is terrible. I can't get through one page of comics without the app crashing. The same happens seems when I enlarge the screen to read small fonts anywhere in the digital paper. The previous app had none of these issues, plus I could click on a specific comic strip to share with friends. Please fix this.

I have two devices running on Android 10 and one on Android 7. Unfortunately, the new app does not fully run Android 10 but Android 7 is fine. Android 10 doesn't permit the downloading of the PD to a file, it can only be read online. I like to download the paper daily and read it as I go. It can't be done. Earlier I spoke with customer service and they tried to help but according to their notes, the app is not fully functional on Android 10. I suggested updating of the app.

Digital edition needs more work. Shouldn't have to scroll through the entire text of every article on a page to see what is on that page. Also some columns have no bylines. Disappointed so far, hopefully an update is coming soon . PS: About half of today's Sunday paper is missing from the digital edition - no Arts, Travel, comics.
