My wife has a tablet and I have a tablet and the app will not work for both devices. I believe it is because it looks at the registered email address and only one. I still am satisfied with the the app.

I guess when you close the app and reopen it, the app gets hung up and won't open. Have to quit the app and reopen it. If that were fixed I bet the ratings would boost.

I wanted to like this app. When it works, it is an easy and enjoyable way to view the paper. When it does not, which is often, it is frustrating. I like to use this app to download the paper at home so I can read it later on my tablet without needing Internet access. The problems with the app is that it gets stuck on an old paper (i.e. Thursday’s paper when I trying to read Fridays). It refuses to let me see or download the new paper. I’ve tried: 1) The refresh arrow. Rarely this works. Mostly it does not. 2) Deleting old downloaded papers. Occasionally that fixes it. Mostly it does not. 3) Deleting the cache (under settings). Occasionally that fixes it. Mostly it does not. 4) Restarting the app. That usually does not fix it. 5) Sometimes rebooting the tablet helps. However, by this point I’ve usually given up on the idea of reading paper that day. How about an update for this app? With a few fixes (and some testing) this could be a good app. But the Globe does not seem to care judging by the less the 2 star ratings for this app.

The just released version in March 2022 is highly unstable. Repeatedly crashes doing basic functions, like turning pages. Entire sections of newspaper are missing. For example, the Sunday paper for 3-27-22 is missing the Comics section. When it's not crashing, only 70% of a page is displayed. User can resize, but you have to do it over and over again for every single page. That's highly annoying and bad user experience. It should really be a user specified setting. Negative experience overall
