Convenient, yet touchy. Use this every day, and it loads rather quickly. I use the full page view, which I prefer, but you can select articles to read in regular text mode. There is a glitch that if your finger slips, or you don't zoom smoothly, it jumps to page C4. Every time.

I give a low rating due to having to sign in each time I access this app. But today a banner ad has been placed over the screen restricting access to articles & no way to log in without resubscribing. I have made a complaint to the app developer about these issues today (3/22/21). I will change rating if these problems are resolved. However it appears as this is a long standing issue without concern from app development. On the plus side, I like & enjoy reading the articles that are available.

Will not allow me to log in on the app most times, even though I can log in successfully on desktop. When I am able to log in, it will tell me I'm not subscribed and not allow me to view articles, even though I am subscribed and am able to view subscriber-only articles on the desktop site. Totally unusable app.
