"body": "This app is worthless if you have vision problems. (No, I don't want to use Apple visual accessibility tools. They are frustrating to use!) There should be a function to increase the font size for headlines & article summations. Is the Sun-Times afraid it will mess up their layout? Or detract from their ANNOYING ads (which there is NO WAY to pay to turn off.) Ugh. If you're struggling to get readers, why do this? Older people tend to be the biggest demographic that read newspapers. Why didn't the Sun-Times think about them first when they were designing the app?",

I really appreciate being able to see the actual print edition layouts which provide a kind of editorial voice in their own right. I find the print ads comforting in the sense that they make money for the paper without injecting unclosable videos into your reading experience.",
