My family has been a subscriber to the Columbus Dispatch since 2006. It is a very good quality, mainstream, progressive to politically moderate, "full-service" newspaper that has tried to remain viable as consumers' information gathering habits have undergone extreme changes. There are many excellent features. However, the app that provides access to the e-newspaper has serious flaws. The most serious of these is that it is difficult, maybe impossible, to access articles in past editions.

Updated January 2021: thank you for fixing this! Much appreciated. Would enjoy better if every push notification took you to *that* particular story vs what it does now, which is to take you to the newest push story. In other words, if you receive 2 push notifications, the newest one supercedes the older one, even if you select the older one to read.

Beware of the business model for this app. They will send you an inexpensive introductory offer. They then automatically renew your offer a month prior to when it was supposed to expire and charge your credit card. If you try to cancel they will say that you cannot cancel and get your money back. The app itself is not very fluid to navigate. It's loaded with ads. The sports are a day late
