I really liked this app until yesterday. The last update does not run. Crashes every time I try to bring it up. iPad Air iOS 17.4.1. I have deleted and re-downloaded, same thing happens. Someone is shirking their duty to test new code. I rebooted the iPad and the app still crashes while it is loading. UPDATE: this app was working fine on my iPad Pro, running iOS 17.4.1. Now it crashes on that device as well. I cannot access my online subscription at all. What is the difference between this app and the one named Mobile?

Version 4.0.2 will not open on my iPad nor iPhone. Previous version was fine.

Previous rev stopped working (wouldn’t load at all); and now after deleting and installing v.4.0.2 does the same. Using on iPad Pro (4thGen) w/ iOS 17.4.1

When I launch it, it just shows splash screen and exits. Every. Single. Time. Very frustrating.

Updated to the most recent iteration and it crashes immediately. Cannot open. Please fix.

App fails to load. Starts up, then ends. Never gets far enough to load any editions. Update: started working after multiple attempts.

On both iPhone and iPad, it often gets stuck on Yesterdays newspaper, the back button doesn’t work. You can’t get to the current days newspaper. The only workaround is to turn the device completely off and restart the app. Very frustrating.

Why does it jump from where you are to the front page when you rotate your iPad? Why does it blur the text when you swipe from one page to another…so you have to swipe back and forward again to get sharp text? I’m paying a subscription fee for access, so why is it showing a Google Ad every time I open an edition of the paper? Worse, if I don’t dismiss the ad immediately, jump to another page, THEN remember to dismiss the ad, the stupid thing jumps back to the front page! What fiend designed this behavior?

In keeping with its shoddy journalism, there is no indication that this App is the SJ Mercury News. There are many publications around the world titled "Mercury News" but this news organization is too inept to tell would be purchasers of the app which news paper it represents. Fail.

I don’t want to read a print version of the Mercury News on my phone. I want to read the digital version, just like I do on the news app for many other papers. What a waste of time!
