  1. 4/5It’s awful.

    I loved the previous one. This one is jerky and hard to read. I don’t like it at all. This is an update to the above review: thanks for the tweaking you have done, it’s a lot better now. I like to read the e newspaper, not all the other stuff and now it’s easier to read. If you could make the margins wider and more natural that would be good, but if not I can live with the changes!

  2. 1/5Can’t read one article without an ad

    Long term subscriber and have used the app for years. Since the announcement that the physical paper will not be delivered, the app frequently refuses to open, or-even worse-will break to an ad multiple times while reading one story. Bring back my print copy.

  3. 3/5New version leaves much to be desired

    Not much good to say about the website. The news content is ok but the app itself is difficult to manage and maneuver. What is happening to the Sunday comics? Two Sundays missing. Please! You can do better than this I’m sure.

  4. 3/5Notifications

    When I get notifications and click on them they come up covered by an advertisement. Instructions say to swipe up to get rid of the ad. If I swipe up starting to high it doesn’t work. If I swipe up lower it closes the whole thing. It is driving me nuts. I am going to quit taking notifications because of your poor design. I am a subscriber and real close to unsubscribing!!

  5. 4/5Traditions

    I’ve read the ARN daily for decades, and I’m happy with the ease of access of the e-newspaper on my iPad. My biggest concern is the bias of the AP and misleading headlines. I know to take misinformation with a grain of salt but some folks may naively believe far left articles. I’m also disappointed that Letters to the Editor are no longer included - that was sometimes the best part! I miss weekly columns by Sharon Randall but enjoy Bill Tinsley’s. And I share screenshots of a comic daily with a grandson - which is special to me. I also enjoy the puzzles! 😊 May God bless the USA and the Freedom of the Press, ~ Diana HM
