Horizontal view for PDF pls!!

Great app... Would give a 5 star if you update horizontal view for PDF news!

Annoying start up ad!

Please remove the annoying start up ad every time we use the app. Provides no value and extremely annoying.

PDF version crashes app

Every time when I open the PDF version the app crashes.

Constantly crashing

This app is crashes so often that it is no longer convenient to read stories even for a few minutes. Its also chock full of advertisements that annoy you to no end. Better to stick to paper.

Good content, but lots of ads and expensive

Pop ups, ads near the buttons to switch news sections and in-line articles when youre scrolling through articles. It costs more than the New York Times and has the most ads Ive seen for any news app. Please reduce

Update-Embarrassingly bad

Crashes 9 out of 10 times; thru the years & versions it hasnt improved. Advertisements load quickly and perfectly, even when everything else has locked up. Effort focused not on the user but rather on protecting their copyright: eg impossible to share an articles text, not even a snippet; eg the app resets if you switch apps, forcing you to reselect the paper & page once again. It is clear the intent is to have a mobile presence & try to monetise it, rather than actual news delivery.

its crashing every time I open a story. on iOS8.4

Its crashing every time I open a story. Im on iOS8.4.

Issue with login

Im a ST subscriber. Everyday the app prompts me that Ive read the limit for the month and I need to logout and login again just for me to read the article which I already paid for. Fix this.

Have to relogin periodically, newspaper doesnt load

Even though I have a subscription and am logged in, am told that I have no access to epaper. Have to logout and relogin again. Newspaper also doesnt load.

Great new redesign

Really great new design. Loads fast and is easy to navigate. Good work guys.

Keeps crashing

Keeps crashing and hanging.

Log in is extremely buggy

The system asks for a subscription to view the paper in pdf format when I have an ongoing subscription that covers that. This has happen countless times over the past few years when I had switched to online viewing rather than reading a physical paper. Please fix it. Once or twice is acceptable. Frequent periodic screw ups are not, especially for a national paper.

Cant even open the app since update

This latest version keeps crashing the moment I open the app--I cant even see the front page of the ST app before it collapses back to my iPhone home screen. Please fix!

Apple Watch app needs work

iOS app Works great but Apple Watch app is not native and is usually a blank screen.
