The epaper no longer displays correctly on my tablet. It broke on March 27, 2024. When you open the epaper, it does not automatically fit to the screen. You get half pages and multiple pages, and you have to constantly manually resize it. I have switched back to reading the paper in Chrome, where it works as it should.

Kinda sorta works but doesn't always. 😢 Had high hopes for the new app; as other people mentioned, doesn't work very well. Doesn't consistently render articles, doesn't consistently show icons for Share (have reported this), doesn't consistently display when using Dark Mode, etc. Too frustrating, so uninstalling. Doesn't seem like it was developed by mature developers with good coding practices and rigorous testing.

They launched the new app, but it's broken. That's fine, I can wait for it to be fixed. So I opened my browser, loaded the website version, and tapped on a story. Instead of showing me the story, it opened the app and tried to open the story there. But the app is broken. So now I've uninstalled the app, and I can actually read the stories in the browser. Why shoot yourself in just one foot when you can shoot both, right?
