## Review summary

Users appreciate having a digital, accessible local-news app and note content has improved, but persistent usability issues persist: the new e-edition format is hard to read, navigation is clunky with confusing setup, content appears as PDF-like pages with duplication, and there are performance and subscription-management inconveniences.

### Pros

- Easy access to local news via the app.
- Digital edition mirrors print and is accessible (including for readers with visual problems).
- Content has improved over time.

### Cons

- New e-edition format is hard to read and less user-friendly.
- The app is clunky with too many steps to connect and confusing between email link and the app.
- Content is presented as multiple PDF-like pages requiring heavy scrolling and some articles appear more than once.
- App sometimes slow to load or buggy after updates.
- Cannot cancel subscription from within the app.
