Mediocre Performance Continues

UPDATE: While new version is better than past versions, rampant problems remain. I can relate to nearly all of the criticisms listed in iTunes reviews about this app.

Why cant Hearst Corp/Houston Chronicle do better than this? NYT and WSJ (I subscribe to both) fully get it. Why doesnt the Chronicle?

The only motivation for keeping this app on my iPad is so I can read my local paper while traveling. The app makes that a challenge.

Current version has compatibility issues with iOS9.0.1. Lots of strange characters embedded in text - a problem being widely experienced.

I like this apps delivery of the Chronicle but find the multitude of bugs and lack of support pathetic. When is The Chronicle/Hearst Corp going to commit to supporting this app? Until then, it will remain mediocre.
