Third try and this version is the worst. Scrolling is broken in many places. Zoom is broken. You literally can't read the comics. It's insane that a newspaper app is THIS bad, unless they simply don't WANT you to read the paper. You can't swipe to the next page. You can't go back. Just X out. You can't go to the next section without five clicks. I PAY for the paper, but ads keep popping up!!! Moving about a page while zoomed is IMPOSSIBLE! Ads cause the screen to jump around while reading.

This is still terrible. Just wanted to update. If you have not yet subscribed, please don't. This is akin to robbery. You should be able to access content on the app if you have a digital subscription. No way to login with your existing account! Also, it constantly shuts down. And the chat support folks cannot drop you fast enough once they find out your issue. They must know it is unfixable. Extreme incompetemnce.

(still) unable to log in. I finally decided to see if I'd missed an update since I still havent been able to log in for months now to view the articles tied to the notifications I'm getting, but I guess there's no bug fix and we're all unable to access our paid content. Very frustrating, and certainly not the first time I've had trouble accessing what I'm paying for with the Statesman. Please fix this!
