syracuse.com for Android

I don’t think this app has enough ads and paywalls. Maybe you could add a few more, just so that when I’m reading one of the 2 free access ads, they pop up and interrupt my attempt at finding news.

While I’m scrolling through a story.

Pay for a subscription then be constantly hounded for your login and password and then get error messages even though you saved the info and you’re sure it’s correct. Go around in circles for hours. Frequently crashes. App design matches the level of journalism with typos and spelling and grammar errors galore.. and of course filthy, trashy clickbait ads. Google, you are equally responsible for allowing this abomination!

Still very buggy. Share button only works sporadically, “done” button broken. They fixed the bug where clicking a link if a story was open wouldn’t get you there, but now once you’re there you have to force quit to get the page to close. It’s 2021 people, high school kids are coding apps more elegantly than this. Luckily the shoddy appsmanship matches the shoddy journalism perfectly so no unrealistic expectations. Icing on the cake you have to log in over and over and over. I guess they’re worried if someone steals and unlocks my phone they won’t have to pay for poorly conceived, poorly written, and poorly edited stories about local restaurants going out of business?

Even with a subscription I am seeing too many ads. It slows down the app.
