I am a subscriber and DMR signs me out frequently. I have to log out , then back in. Should not have to mess this much with something I pay for when my free news apps run fine. The news is fine.

I have paid for an online subscription and the app is so cumbersome to operate. The app doesn't remember me logging in and so I have to log in to read nearly every article. Then, when I do log in, it just fails repeatedly. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app without any help. Very disappointed.

Couldnt locate a link to make a direct complaint to the paper -- which is a problem in itself. App design has annoyed me a number of times. I read the NYTimes and Washington Post on apps, so I know a good experience is possible. Register: Their links aren't always correct. Difficult to find an article that's in the paper version of the paper. Simply- cumbersome.
