Updated: mostly solid online edition of newspaper
Update December 2024: The app is now pretty solid and provides a good reading experience. It’s easy to navigate and double-clicking gets you a one-page version of an article (vs paging through the “paper” to get to the rest of an article.
That said, there’s a basic feature missing. You should be able to “clip” any article and share it. There are many times where I want to share an article with family or friends, and there’s no consistent way to do that. Sometimes I can email an article to myself, but I often end up with just a pdf containing only the headline. And if I search for the article online via a browser, it’s often not found anywhere.
>>> I want a save/share button that lets me (1) save a pdf of the article, (2) print the article, and (3) save a link to the article.
Original: This app is absolutely no substitute for a subscription to the Inquirer. I expected that since I’m a subscriber I’d get the same material I get from the paper. But no - no comics, no obits, no Carolyn... not sure what else is missing. I got frustrated and gave up. Navigation is terrible - most news apps will at least give you a handy menu or method to go from section to section. Haven’t found that yet. And just for the record Dear Abby is a terrible substitute for Carolyn.
