Often have to re-log-in to start service, especially on Windows devices. Android device does not load full stories, so if an internet connection isn't available, only the first part of the stories is available on a phone device. NYT and Washington Post apps make full stories available on a device loaded, but not currently connected to the internet.

Reading articles is mostly fine. It's annoying to not be able to zoom in on the photos. I end up doing screengrabs and zooming in on that. Doing the crossword had become impossible, with the inability to scroll, I can't see the bottom half of it. It's always been annoying to do, as the selected cell gets overwritten instead of moving on, but now the bottom half is actually completely blocked. And for the price, we should be able to access all of the puzzles via the app.

The "e-reader" has problems viewing the actual newspaper. It's not possible to view most of the page when zooming in, because it snaps back to the upper left corner. Can't view photos, ads, comics, or puzzles. And the bottom 1/4 of each article is unreadable when I open them. I've emailed multiple support addresses found here and there, and no response. I'm not interested the clickbaity news "feed" (no temporal context) in the app, which works fine but is an irritating reading experience.
