Although reliable, the August update has resulted in this app using an extraordinary amount of battery. My phone is just over a year old, yet when I read the SMH through the app my battery charge can halve in less than a couple of hours. Also, the print option has been removed. If I want to print the puzzles, for instance, I have to go to the paper online and print from there. Very clunky. Just saw that this latest update has restored the printer icon 😊

Delayed loading of ads and other content in long articles means that you'll be reading and the text suddenly shifts 1-2 paragraphs. Even after you've had a long article open for several minutes it will still be happening.
