## Review summary

Reviewers largely praise The Advocate’s journalism but repeatedly cite problems with login/authentication, the e-edition’s navigation and readability, and the app’s usability after updates. Many users report edition-availability issues and annoyances from ads, with a subset appreciating the e-edition and overall content quality.

### Pros

- High-quality, balanced local journalism (articles and sports coverage).
- E-edition provides a digital reading option that some users find usable.
- Some users appreciate access to both e-edition and print edition formats.

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication problems and password changes impacting access.
- Widespread e-edition navigation and readability problems after updates (broken links, hard-to-use interface, missing navigation arrows).
- Major usability redesign causing difficult navigation and awkward swiping; many users prefer the old version.
- Intrusive ads and pop-ups interrupt reading.
- Edition availability/timing issues and mismatched editions across regions (no new edition sometimes, edition not showing for other papers).
