WHY would you do an update to REMOVE landscape orientation??? Put it back please. Insane.

In general, this app works well. However, the latest updates do not allow you to read the newspaper in landscape format on a tablet. Those of us who like the advantages of reading electronically so that we can resize things and make them readable now have a harder time. Things like the comics in particular are almost too small to read in portrait view. there is no way to enlarge them. I was told by Customer Service that they did that to improve the layout of advertisements. It is sad that subscribers’ needs take second place to advertisers.

Bring back landscape mode. Why would you take away a feature??

I am not sure why the Courant would decide to limit how the paper was oriented in their app. We used to be able to view the news in landscape or portrait. Now, since the last app update, one can only view it in portrait mode and the print is much smaller. It is very difficult to read it on a tablet. I no longer use the app. The Courant needs to revert back to the having the articles orient with your device. This change was not user friendly or an improvement at all in my opinion.

This is a disappointing app from a newspaper chain that should be able to do better. The only way to see a broad spectrum of news coverage is to look at the daily “E-newspaper“ because the stories highlighted on the website are so poorly organized and have almost no relationship to the stories covered in the day’s newspaper. Quite often stories highlighted in the main page of the app are out of date. Ads and videos clutter the interface even though I am a paid subscriber. Despite my selections in the alerts preferences, all I am served are sports headlines and crime. It is rare that I can easily access state and government news without prolonging, despite the fact that those are my preferred stories. The Hartford Courant news content has already suffered through cost-cutting corporate buyouts, but the app takes a bad situation and makes it far worse by making the news hard to find.

The latest update removed the ability to view the newspaper in landscape orientation. This is ridiculous! I have used this app for years on my iPad in landscape format. It is the only way to be able to read articles without expanding the story for it to be large enough to see.

Why is removing the landscape an improvement? It’s now an inconvenience for me to set up my iPad on a table. Please restore the landscape feature. It’s been quite a bad year being locked out of my digital access for over two months. And undelivered or rain soaked papers to make things worse. It’s been an unpleasant experience with the Courant lately and I’m about to give up.

Why did you remove the landscape version. Portrait version is hard to read and cumbersome. Please restore the landscape viewing

I thought the app was broken when I opened it this morning. Why in the world would you remove landscape orientation on the iPad? This is a horrible decision. Please bring it back, otherwise I have little reason to maintain my subscription.

Please put landscape edition back!
