Long time digital subscriber, and usually happy with the app - til now. Latest update made the homepage "Today" news section take 30 seconds to a solid minute to load/refresh, and since much of the time I'm in a hurry and just trying to catch latest headlines this is very annoying. The absolute slowest news app I use, which shouldn't be the case with a paying digital subscription.

App is super buggy: often the icons at the bottom of the screen to gift or save an article do not work. The Times tech people were useless and would not offer a solution that works with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ phone. (Told me to take a *video* of the problem...which my phone can't do.) Tried emptying the cache, restarting the phone, and uninstalling and reinstalling the NYT app. NOTHING helped.

App is getting worse and worse. Now half the time the comments to an article won't open. But the biggest problem is the auto-crashing, which happens daily now. Every time the home page refreshes, I'm taken out of whatever article I'm reading and placed back on the home page. Also, how about giving the app the capacity to remember where you are in an article, so if you have to pause for a few minutes, you don't lose your place and get sent back to the start of the article?
