Updated App Awful Compared To Old One

The latest update is a far cry from the old one, which wasn’t perfect but was much better. The pop-ups have previously been mentioned and are annoying. The text in the new format is smaller and harder to read. On some pages it is blurry and does not clear making it almost impossible to read. Since the news is already at least a day old when it hits this paper it is really making me question whether it is worth it to keep this paper. The over abundance of ads and lack of substance already forced us to cancel the print version. If problems with this app are not corrected we will drop it completely, which is a shame.

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.

Annoying Ads

Since the recent update I'm seeing ads pop up every time I access a new section on the eEdition. So now I'm paying to see ads. Really? I thought the point of paying to subscribe was NO ADS. Plus, accessing other newspapers, printing anything, requires many more clicks to get to proper page. And on eEdition, the entire page no longer fits on my screen. I'm not impressed. The older version was much more user friendly.

Bad app

It doesn’t always work.

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!

T&G

I never appreciated local news until becoming a coach in the Worcester region. The telegram and gazette app allows me to see scores across the different league and stories about these teams.

Zoey

I also have difficulty with the obituaries with the same issues as the previous commentary! The entire app needs to be more like Boston and NYC newspapers.
