East Bay Times for Android

App asks to log in but, keyboard won’t come up making it impossible to log in. Totally unusable at this point.

I used to read the east bay times on my Mobile daily and liked the app. The new app is a downgrade from the old. I can no longer zoom in and go to the next page without zooming out first. Probably so I see the ad at the bottom of the page—which I don’t look at ever. And I can’t read it like a newspaper by tapping the page number to continue an article. It brings me to a word document format. Is there a way to go back to the old app?

My first review with new app, The new app design came out today I do not like format! First the developer decided we need a tool bar at the top, then we needed a tool bar at the bottom to navigate page forward or back, then pop up add box above page box that’s quite large. These three items take up about one third of the screen area on my Mobile, now I have to see less paper page area and scroll up and down to read the page articles. Also the popup add seams very large and keeps changing creating a distraction. I’d like the old version of the app back. I may cancel my subscription to the eb times not pleased! My second review! Well I was able to find the old app a day after the new one launched I was happy again,,, BUTT this morning they decided to automatically replace the old app with the new horrible version. NOT HAPPY AGAIN!!! I think it’s time for users that agree this app is horrible format and cancel our subscription maybe that will get their attention to make changes, too much screen taken up by tool bar, page change bar, and google adds that keep changing very distracting. 😡

Used to enjoy reading the online newspaper. Ever since the update it has been an exercise in frustration. It is clunky to go to the next page and won’t smoothly go to second part of an article when you click on it. Having to sign on way more often than in the past.

Funny, one post said “don’t upgrade”...I HAD NO CHOICE! The worst bug it has is that when you tap on an article on the print replica, which used to open up a text version, now disappears in a second! That feature worked just fine in the old version, but sadly, I can’t go back, I’m stuck and frustrated!
