## Review summary

Most reviews praise the iPad digital edition for convenience and staying informed, but repeatedly report stability and access problems: crashes, subscription recognition failures, and degraded e-edition readability after the app update. The overall experience is seen as worse than the old app, with navigation and readability issues dominating, though some users still value the digital format and local news.

### Pros

- Daily iPad access to The Scranton Times-Tribune digital edition keeps readers informed.
- The digital edition is enjoyable to read and helps readers stay up to date with local news.
- Readers note they would recommend the paper's digital edition to family and friends.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability after updates (the app opens and then shuts down, kicks you out, or crashes).
- E-edition access is unreliable inside the app; you must go to the web, and the replica/text views are blurry or unreadable with several features removed.
- Paid subscribers have trouble accessing content; the app doesn’t recognize subscriptions, and support/refund processes are confusing or ineffective.
- New app UX is worse than the old version; navigation is hard, pages unreadable, and essential features lost.
