Quite good

I use this app five or six days a week to read the Chronicle on the ferry. Generally it works well, and navigation works extremely well in the most recent versions of the app. The only real flaw is that the “download for off-line reading” fails from time to time. The consequence is that when the Internet is unavailable while the ferry is in the middle of the bay, the app sometimes says “content unavailable” even for the text. Clicking the red “Download” bar twice while the Internet connection is still available seems to make it worse. But overall it is quite a good app for reading the newspaper. The only other thing I would criticize is that it has no button that allows one to see exactly which stories are in the printed version of the day’s Chronicle, which people sometimes refer to in discussions with me. The online version contains stories that are older, but also not all the new stories that are in the printed version of the paper, as far as I can tell.

We appreciate the feedback and will continue to improve the app.

Update on prior review (about a month ago):
After months of not being able to get through even the first section without the page freezing or closing, I have been able to read the entire paper without problems. Neither updates of the app nor recommendations from tech support were helpful until I posted my last review. Finally, a useful fix. The suggestion was to delete and reload the app. The reloaded app works smoothly and, for the first time since June or July I am getting the news I’ve been paying for. The only remaining glitch is that a few stories about half-way down the “Front Page” are usually cropped at the top so that I don’t see the headline and the top of the photo. Relatively small annoyance that doesn’t really impede my reading.

We apologize for the issues you are experiencing. Some readers have reported issues after updating the app to the latest version from a previous version. In several cases, deleting the app and reinstalling the app resolved the issues. Please give that a try and contact appsupport@sfchronicle.com if you continue to experience issues.
OK... but

There’s always a but, right?
One of the annoying aspects of this application is the decision it makes the refresh the screen.
I understand that it’s a new day and everything but I wish it would ask. From this side of the screen what happens is I tried to return to something I was reading in the Chronicle informs me that it’s a new day, brings me back to the front page and then I can’t find the story that I was reading again.
Maybe the application can wait until I am leaving the article that I am reading, before it tells me it’s a new day.
(By the way: I already knew it was a new day, and could swipe to refresh the screen so why am I being forced to leave the page I am reading?)
