So annoying!!

I’ll be in the middle of reading an article and the app will refresh and bring me back to page 1 AND the ad covering the screen!! And this happens often.

Couldn’t possibly worse!

Terrible interface, rarely works in the direction the app should. I’ve never seen an app constantly direct you to the wrong pages and info. That said the content gets less and less with zero editorial professionalism. Overall a joke of a company, and app.

Telegram App

I am constantly frustrated when I open your app “Top Stories” only to find old topics repeated and perhaps one or two current topics. All sections have week old or weeks old articles! I am dissatisfied and disappointed that entire app and sections are not “ Au Courant” nor interesting for the 2d largest city in the state. There aren’t enough national news items featured. Nor are there enough local topics of interest! The repetitive news items, columnists and sections do not provide me with newsworthy information as do Boston Globe, Washington Post, New York Times subscriptions. The few articles of local interest are only reason I keep subscription, but, they do not satisfy my needs to know!! Obituaries are current but that’s it! Also, very annoyed with the real estate transaction section that is a confusing set up and not easy to follow. Please review your app and look at it from my perspective! I do not feel satisfied when I try to find something that is informative and newsworthy. You need more columnists and journalists who can really give your readers what we deserve. No bang for my buck!

Good local news

Usually not the latest news but coupled with USAToday it is pretty comprehensive.

App Locks Up

Since switching to the new format, the e-Newspaper jams up repeatedly, each and every day, usually several times daily. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it and it worked once before locking up again. I am running the app on an iPad, which prior to the new program worked flawlessly.

Not so user friendly

I already pay for my newspaper subscription but now I’m interrupted by embedded ads. And the pop up ads are so poorly done! The whole screen goes dark for a few seconds, the ad appears, sometimes the ad can be dismissed with the “x” but others force you t watch the content before the “x” appears. Ugh, this is a clunky app.

Good app but content does not change often enough.

Often the vast majority of the stories are days or even weeks old. And the embedded ads in every story are horrible. I'm reading an important piece of news and there are 11 ads in the body of the news story already 🫣🫣🫣
