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!

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

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!!

4/5Needs Better Navigation
The app needs a new menu for better navigation. To find the comics and puzzle section I have use a google link.

1/5No E-edition in app?
Is there no way to simply “read the paper” in this app? I DON’T WANT to have to hunt through 20+ tabs or links to see snippets from the ARN, I just want to see the paper each day. So far, the only way I’m able to “read the paper” is to log in through my browser and read the E-edition on the website. Not having the E-edition available through the app makes the app utterly USELESS for me - I’d give it 0 stars, but that’s not an option.
