Pantagraph

When I open the app I get a message telling me that there’s an update available. When I click the link I’m not taken to an update page but a review instead. So here’s my review. The update message is either intentionally or unintentionally misleading. So which is worse, the Pantagraph and/or the app designers are deliberately deceiving the app users or they aren’t competent enough to fix the problem?

I have a paid subscription for the e-edition of the Pantagraph, which allows me to view articles through the app. However, for the last month or so, at least once a week it tells me I need to sign in or restore my purchase. But it shows that I’m still logged in. So, in order to proceed, I have to log out of the app and then sign back in. Just annoying to keep having to go through this every week. Would also like more local articles available through the app.

Articles are repetitive with no rhyme or reason, constantly crashes, editing is horrendous, and can only comment on "select" articles dictated by some Pantagraph lackey. Overall this app mirrors the Pantagraph organization perfectly - a complete failure. Tried again since "update" & it's even worse. Now I can't even read/scroll through an article without being pushed to the App Store. The Pantagraph should be ashamed, but based on their ongoing performance, they're shameless. It's really sad that our community does not have any news agency to rely on. ====================== Even worse!! Tried yet another time to see if anyone on the Pantagraph tech staff cares to make this app at least halfway decent...Nope! I don't know how it was possible, but they've outdone themselves again. Now it has random pop-up video ads before being allowed the view an article. Ridiculously stupid - once again, a mirror image of this failing excuse of a local "news" organization.
