  10. [R29] El Nuevo Día 1/5 · US Can’t use on web, app crashes: I’m a paying subscriber. I only installed the app because trying to use the search feature on the web was failing. However the “share” link (compartir) CRASHES the app completely. This is just basic quality control, people, one of the most up front features AND such a basic feature at that, just doesn’t work. Fo! Apesta!
  11. [R39] El Nuevo Día 1/5 · US Hemorragia de anuncios: Ya es casi imposible leer la versión digital. Tiene tantos anuncios que se cae continuamente. A menudo los anuncios ocupan toda la pantalla. Es una falta de respeto para los que pagamos.

  22. [R73] LaMusica 2/5 · US Home of El Barrio: While the content is fantastic, you can't access the programs as a podcast. To catch your favorite radio show, you'll need to transport yourself back to the 1990s and tune in at the designated radio time.
