Loved old app with format mirroring print edition. I liked it and was willing to pay for a subscription as I viewed it as a substitute for a hardcopy.
New format appears to mirror SFgate website - which is free to view. Why should I pay for the app access?
By the way, the new website/app format is terrible as compared to the old app. If read on a daily basis, you must dig through stale content to find anything new.
