Cons

Recent reviews

I have to read Free Press articles in email, not the hated app. This is because, after reading some way into an article, if I navigate away briefly and come back, the app loses context and takes me to the FP home page. Even worse, while commenting on an article, I may have written most of a detailed comment, navigate away to check something, and when I return, same thing! App takes me to home page, my carefully crafted comment is gone. (In professional IT terms, this is data loss, something to be scrupulously avoided at all costs). Do better!!!
