I have the 6 months trial for $1/month. This app keeps wanting me to subscribe again. I don't pay through Google. Note to developer: You must code to bridge the non-Google payers/subscribers to login and be recognized with permission to access subscriber content. It's not that difficult to do. Fix this as a priority because Gannett can't afford more reader losses!

Can't sign in. App doesn't conform to Google secure browser's policy. But since I created account through my Google account, I can't sign in any other way. Makes app essentially useless. You want to support local journalism, but they have to actually want to be supported, you know?

I wish I could choose a negative number of stars for my rating. Whoever is responsible for the crime against humanity that is this app should be outlawed from ever again working as a developer. Oh my...it has gotten worse...now I can't move about the page after zooming in to read it. Edited

My family has been a subscriber to the Columbus Dispatch since 2006. It is a very good quality, mainstream, progressive to politically moderate, "full-service" newspaper that has tried to remain viable as consumers' information gathering habits have undergone extreme changes. There are many excellent features. However, the app that provides access to the e-newspaper has serious flaws. The most serious of these is that it is difficult, maybe impossible, to access articles in past editions. Edited

Updated January 2021: thank you for fixing this! Much appreciated. Would enjoy better if every push notification took you to *that* particular story vs what it does now, which is to take you to the newest push story. In other words, if you receive 2 push notifications, the newest one supercedes the older one, even if you select the older one to read. Edited
