## Review summary

User reviews indicate the Richmond Times-Dispatch iOS app is valued for providing current local news and a convenient way to read the delivered newspaper, offering a usable digital edition that complements print. However, multiple reviewers report ongoing reliability problems: frequent sign-in issues, repeated glitches and page resets, and persistent 'update available' prompts. Some also feel the app's content quality is uneven, with limited coverage in certain areas. Overall, while subscribers appreciate local news access and the two-world experience, the app's UX reliability needs significant improvement.
