The previous digital replica app worked really well on my iPad. The SLO Tribune has done away with that app forcing subscribers to use this one that is really awful. It forces users to a web browser with banners and ads that can’t be minimized to read a digital edition of the print newspaper. It like trying to read a newspaper through a small postage stamp window. If I zoom in, the entire web page zooms so I can’t scroll around the page with my postage stamp window. Instead I must zoom out, find what I want to read and zoom in again Really poor execution. I sent feedback, but the tribune didn’t read my comments, instead replying that I download this app. Sad.

It stops constantly stops working, and customer service says the same thing every time (when you can actually get them to respond) “ delete the app and re-install it. Do you have any idea how many times I’ve had to do that? This isn’t even taking into account the myriad of problems when the app actually works. They should be embarrassed.

I can’t help but believe the changes to eliminate printed editions and initiate the “new and improved” e-edition app are driven by anything other than increased profits. Regardless, both stink. The app is terrible for reading the printed version. A real disappointment. Difficult to read and I can no longer email stories to friends. The incessant advertising is also more than a mere nuisance. The only thing worse than the paper’s biased reporting is now it’s sub-par presentation.
