This app continues to get worse with each release. I may end up cancelling my AZ Central subscription if the app isn't improved. Often there are articles you cannot read because the app is unable to open the article. The app will just spin when you select the article you want to view. When you are successful in opening an article, the embedded ads will immediately redirect you to the ads website. So you have to be extremely careful when scrolling through the article.

As a digital subscriber that pays monthly you would expect the app to remember my login for more than 24 hours. But no, that appears to be asking too much of this poor app. The content is good when I can see it, but usually it's telling me to subscribe to see more than 7 articles a month. And I've called the AZ Republic and that does nothing. Very frustrating!!

Adequate digital news app. The basic interface works OK. The app will randomly refresh and reset, even in the middle of an article that is being read. Afterward, the user has to search the featured story list. Finding the article again is hit or miss. E-newspaper is buggy. It frequently reloads the article previously read when one clicks on another article. It also frequently freezes, and the OS asks to wait or shut down the app. Articles are often formatted oddly.
