Always looked forward to reading app like the paper looked. You should make a section where you can download any edition to read. Take a lesson from the business reviews app. Took a vacation with no electronic devices and returned today looking to read the last 12 editions and I am not able or can’t figure out how to do it. If I could give it lower than a 1 star I would. Don’t change what has worked for years for people. Bring back the old app so you can call yourself a newspaper and us subscribers can read it and get the feel of a newspaper.

The old app was awkward and unattractive. Rarely have I seen such dramatic improvement in an app. I read the paper much more often now given how easy it is to read and how attractive the new format is! So much more readable and accessible. And I like knowing more about my local community than I had the fortitude to learn from the off-putting old app.

The new app is disappointing to say the least. The TU replaced a very user friendly, news filled app with a new version that offers only a portion of the paper even though you are a paid subscriber. It also doesn’t offer and feature to customize the app, ie adjust font size. I am extremely disappointed. The only reason I gave it one star was because you can’t post a review otherwise.

I recently subscribed to online access to the TU, but I didn’t like the website version of the newspaper. Too much clickbait, too many animated ads, too many junk ads. This app eliminates all the junk. And it’s as good as any of the top newspaper apps - NYT, WaPo. Well done.

Instead of being able to read today’s paper by flipping through page by page, the T-U online version is now like every other news outlet app - stories scattered, scrolling required, and no line between new and old articles. A bummer, since I have read online T-U daily all over the world due to its straightforward simplicity and discrete daily editions.
