• If you're on a computer, you just head to their website, login, and read the newspaper.
• If you're on an Android device, you just head to their website, login, and read the newspaper.
• If you're on an Apple device, you're directed to download the bullshit iOS app.
The reason they give for requiring the bullshit iOS app is that the website requires Flash to do its thing. That makes me wonder if they bothered testing the website on an Android device released after August 2012, when Adobe dropped support for new installs of Flash Player on Android...
It also makes me wonder if they got the memo about the rest of the world moving away from Flash...
