1/5Update to e-Newspaper is AWFUL
There is so much wrong with the update, it’s hard to know where to start. It’s extremely hard to read now (super small font), it crashes randomly, it can’t be used in landscape orientation, there is a content-blocking bar across the top of the USA Today pages, there are now full-screen-blackening ads that come up during the reading of the paper that must be waited on and finally “X’d” out in order to continue reading, and those are only to name a few. Regarding the ads that black out the screen: we PAY for the subscription and the newspaper itself is full of ads, why are we interrupted now to see an ad??? The LSJ Print Edition app is gone and this is the only one available now. We can only hope that LSJ will go back to the app as it was because this newest app is horrible.

1/5App is terrible
I see someone had complained about the app when trying to zoom an article, and the response was that it had been fixed. We’ll, guess what…it has NOT been fixed. The paper is hard to read near the edges of the screen, because the arrows to move to the next page are blocking parts of the article when zoomed in. The screen bounces back to the smaller print when trying to move the article around to read the entire thing. I believe the older version of the app allowed a reader to zoom to any degree. This one doesn’t allow this. I assume you’ve heard the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Well, the old version was a million times better than this new one. I recommend you take it back to the previous version. Also, I would like to be able to access my account from the app, and I can’t do that. Thinking of not renewing my subscription.

5/5Comics
I’ve subscribed to and read LSJ every day since I moved to the greater Lansing area in June 1974 (nearly 51 years!), so I’ve been through a few changes with the paper. I’ve gone from paying $.50/week to a carrier, to automatically paying for a year in advance. No problems! However, the brand new LSJ app will not let me rotate individual comics in order to read them one full comic at a time. (The old app allowed this rotation seamlessly.) PLEASE fix this bug in the new app! Not everyone, regardless of age, has 20/20 vision. Thank you! Debbie Warnaar

2/5Words all jumbled
Getting very frustrated clicking on article only to have the letters in gibberish. This has happened constantly lately. Or you click on a story and another one or ad is on top of it - again unreadable. For a while before e-newspaper even showed up a USA subscription ad would appear that would not go away. Would have to delete the app, log in again, go through all the set up. This was happening about twice a week.

2/5Good app but no mention of subscription requirement!
I downloaded this thinking the $1 would be all that’s needed however after a couple articles I am now locked out from viewing any more unless I subscribe for $7.99 a month. I was planning on actually paying for a subscription (as the content is usually good enough) until I was forced to and I found out how overpriced it is. I guess I’ll just continue using add blocker and reading online. You lost a customer here and will continue losing add revenue due to add blocker! Too bad I actually enjoyed the LSJ.

However, the brand new LSJ app will not let me rotate individual comics in order to read them one full comic at a time. (The old app allowed this rotation seamlessly.) PLEASE fix this bug in the new app! Not everyone, regardless of age, has 20/20 vision. Thank you! Debbie Warnaar",

Or you click on a story and another one or ad is on top of it - again unreadable. For a while before e-newspaper even showed up a USA subscription ad would appear that would not go away. Would have to delete the app, log in again, go through all the set up. This was happening about twice a week.",

I was planning on actually paying for a subscription (as the content is usually good enough) until I was forced to and I found out how overpriced it is. I guess I’ll just continue using add blocker and reading online. You lost a customer here and will continue losing add revenue due to add blocker! Too bad I actually enjoyed the LSJ.",
