Pros and cons of The Boston Globe ePaper app for iPhone and iPad

The Boston Globe ePaper app good for

Why do I have to delete the app and reinstall it every morning to get my paper. Incredibly bad app. Has to be the worst. Henry should talked to the folks at the Boston Herald. The Herald app works everyday.
After terrible performance under IOS 10, the app has been upgraded to work much better than ever. Now if you enlarge a page to read, you can go to the next page directly - no need to pinch back! (Never an issue in hard copy, of course.)
Thank you for fixing the article view glitch! Its working much better!
Works great on my iPhone, now that they have fixed many of the minor issues with the app. No complaints.
This app works great on the iPhone Plus. I can see an image of each page and zoom in to what I want to read or tap on an article to read it in a reader view which is great for speed reading. Works for all but small blurbs. No need to jump to other pages to continue reading a long article. All photos and graphics are perfectly reproduced. Great app for a great newspaper!

Some bad moments

Updated app now keeps crashing while I read the first page. Add to that the fact that after you take the time to download the paper, you still cant read it without an internet connection. I downloaded the paper at the airport to read on an airplane. You get on the plane, and it tells you you cant read what you just downloaded without a connection. Why? Every other app will fill in the subject line if you want to email an article to someone. Not this one. I could go on, but you get the idea. Did humans actually make this app?
This app stopped working and now actually displays error messages. Its an embarrassment for a newspaper like the Globe not to have a working product.
Crashes when trying to download current issue on iOS10. Previously was a good app.
I called customer service after trying again and again to load the e paper and they suggested downloading the app again, but would not respond when I asked if this was a problem. I have to delete then load a new app every few days and it never loads automatically. Now that I see the reviews, clearly it is a problem. Cant believe they dont fix this thing.
If there is a worse app out there in this wide universe of apps, one more frustrating, ill-conceived, or just plain maddening, Ive thankfully not found it. Shame on your tech team.
At least once a week I have to delete this app and download it again, and sign in again, after it freezes. The Globes delivery problems are not limited to the paper edition.
