Update - That was resolved with a reinstall. Not sure why that was necessary but it appears to work again. Well they fixed the bug below and the app worked great for a while, but now it won't load. Just a logo page never getting to a functional mode with content. Literally can't use the app at all. Loading individual article or any other phone activity takes you back to the front page regardless of where you were; maddening. The Apple version doesn't do that, it takes you to the page you were on

I subscribed temporarily for some election coverage. Was surprised at the operation of the app. When you search the app, the search results are miniature physical newspaper pages, in 2023, I kid you not. You still have to go the web site for most articles, even if you are signed in with a paid subscription. I rate this app 1 🌟 or 5💩, take your pick. Better to read the "paper" or the web browser version.

Before the new layout, the app worked well and gave me everything I needed. Now, the app takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute to even load. I get push notifications for breaking news, but the app just loads to the main page and the article is nowhere to be found. Old version worked way better. They needed to test this new one more before releasing it.
