## Review summary

Users praise the eEdition for its newspaper content and a tablet-friendly reading experience, but repeatedly report login failures, edition-loading problems, unstable performance, and a degraded UX after updates, including missing search/sharing features and obstructive UI elements.

### Pros

- High-quality newspaper content presented in the eEdition (positive notes like 'Great paper' and 'Great app for reading the Californian').
- Tablet/large-screen reading looks good and readable in the tablet edition.
- Replica edition offers a familiar reading experience and is handy for on-the-go viewing.

### Cons

- Frequent login/sign-in issues and repeated prompts to sign in or renew; sometimes unable to log in.
- Current edition not loading reliably; newest editions fail to appear or require reinstalling; difficulty navigating between days/editions.
- General reliability issues: pages fail to load, app crashes, slow performance, or loading yesterday's paper instead of today's.
- Loss of features and confusing UX: search feature removed or non-functional; back/forward navigation obscures text; inability to zoom or clip/share articles.
- Ads/overlays interfere with readability; app size is large.
