Pros and cons of Houston Chronicle app for iPhone and iPad

Houston Chronicle app good for

A good alternative on days when the delivered paper is wet. When out of town, a way to stay connected to home.
I have enjoyed the app and had good interface with reading the daily paper. It is updated frequently and the "off-line" reading is helpful. I have had no issues with the app and it has been reliable.

Some bad moments

Ive said it before. Awful. Fire your vendor and get something that works
Im so disappointed in this app. I used to enjoy reading the paper, but this app makes it a chore. The stories wont load. Half the time I have to shut down and restart my tablet just to get todays paper to come up. I KNOW there has to be a better way. Chronicle, Id hire new IT people, you are not getting your moneys worth. Or is that just me?
They need to hire a professional app developer. Extremely slow, unstable. One of the worst apps on the market. The previous version was excellent, but this one is really awful. I cant understand why they dont start over with a complete new app.
Ive read the Houston Chronicle for 30 years and in todays world, I prefer to read it on my iPad. But this app is so awful that I might cancel my subscription. I did like the old app which was like reading the print newspaper. You can do better than this!
Much of the information is old or repetitive. Stories you read in the NEWS section are repeated a few inches now in the business section. They dont clear out information that is no longer relevant. A story about The Woodlands Bar-B-Que festival ran for over a week AFTER the posted event dates had come and gone.
This is an awful APP! Apparently the Houston Chronicle doesnt care how bad this new APP is. With nothing but horrible reviews you would think they would address the issues or even acknowledge the problems!
