The only irritating aspect of the digital experience is whenever I try the browser version it challenges me for subscription: I need to relogin and it acknowledges. Once I go back to read articles from home it goes into a loop and challenges all over. Sometimes I need to use browser and this doesn't help - this may not be an app issue. But bad experience nevertheless. Otherwise, the app lets you read articles. Moreover, the feature to gift article works only from browser mode of dig. Edn. - sad

Often have to re-log-in to start service, especially on Windows devices. Android device does not load full stories, so if an internet connection isn't available, only the first part of the stories is available on a phone device. NYT and Washington Post apps make full stories available on a device loaded, but not currently connected to the internet.

The "e-reader" has problems viewing the actual newspaper. It's not possible to view most of the page when zooming in, because it snaps back to the upper left corner. Can't view photos, ads, comics, or puzzles. And the bottom 1/4 of each article is unreadable when I open them. I've emailed multiple support addresses found here and there, and no response. I'm not interested the clickbaity news "feed" (no temporal context) in the app, which works fine but is an irritating reading experience.
