WSJ ipad app

Anyone here using the ipad app for reading the WSJ and completing the crossword puzzles?
Is it just me, or has the latest version of this app destroyed the functionality? The articles are no longer presented as an "issue" by date.
Most disturbing is that the crossword puzzle is now only available for one day. If you miss that day or do not complete the puzzle, I cannot find a way to return to old puzzles or complete a puzzle once started. Disaster!
Anyone else having this issue or gripes?

Hello! I am new here and found this thread. YES, I have had the same issue. It feels hastily built. I found this site while I was searching for a post by the WSJ about the status of the app. If no one else has heard from them, I may contact them and if I hear back, I’ll share here.
On my app, I am able to access past issues by touching the Menu button in the top left corner. Does that work if you try it on your version?
The part I most want them to change back is where it skips over letters that are already filled in. I liked that feature (and many others) in the previous version.

The issue in my case is that I get an "Error Loading Crossword" for each crossword that should be listed after selecting the Crosswords icon at the bottom of the screen. This has been going on for the last 10(?) days. On iPadOS 16.6.

The new WSJ app really stinks. I'm not sure who to complain to. Perhaps someone from the journal will stop by.
