I had to pull out my seven year old phone to read an article because that phone was logged into the app. Meanwhile using my brand new phone I can't log in. The button for existing subscribers to log in doesn't do anything. It isn't obviously greyed out or disabled, it just doesn"t do anything, as if they forgot to build the part of the app that makes the button work.

Update 6/13/22- tried the audio again, same thing. Extra Spicy this time, 16 min 12 sec and it just stops playing. Down to 1 star. Don't offer it if you can't deliver. -Audio never works. 5th and mission always stops playing half way through. I don't think I've ever gotten to listen to a whole audio segment. 8/14/22 closes article I'm in the middle of reading and scrolls to top of the feed. Sigh. Never tried the audio again.

I'm a 50 year Chronicle print subscriber, but since I travel frequently I was very happy when they finally released an Android app. It worked well for several weeks, but now it fails to recognize me as a subscriber. Of course, I've tried all the login options without success. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but the problem recurred after several hours. I do hope they are able to fix this bug quickly.
