Archaic and devoid of news
This app is so archaic it’s hard to describe. The company clearly just doesn’t care about the user interface and experience. If that isn’t bad enough there isn’t enough in it to read on a daily basis to justify the cost of the news. I’ve subscribed multiple times hoping things would improve but it just doesn’t happen. It’s mostly become feeds from USA Today and the Associated Press and not enough on what’s going on across Cape Cod. Buy one of the local weeklies and you get more news tha5 you will see in six months in the CC Times

Love layout, possible app icon update?
I absolutely love having an interactive, digital version of the physical newspaper instead of the usual mobile-only layout news apps have for vertical scrolling/reading nowadays. The feel of expanding and pinching articles and “flipping” pages, while also having a way to tap articles and read them in they’re own focus window is such an intuitive way to give that classic newspaper experience without compromising ease of use when you need it. Always loved newspapers so this is a great alternative. I just hope the developers will update that ugly app icon being used that’s just the small newspaper title with the black “E-edition” bar on the bottom. My Google Play store version of the app has a beautiful navy blue background with a bigger title and seagull logo that fits the icon wonderfully, sadly it doesn’t correlate to the home screen for some reason, which looks like the same icon we have here. Such a great news app deserves a modern app icon, kinda like the alternative app of the CCT that’s mobile-layout only. Love this app either way!

Ease and substance
The e-edition is so easy to use and refer to no matter when or where
Love Cape Cod Times App
The Cape Cod Times has worked hard to create a great digital version. It is easy to navigate. Great local coverage. Love the expanded news section recently added.
Buggy app
I love the idea of being able to read the paper on my iPad but the app is buggy. I am unable to download the paper close to half the time. Sometimes I get a message saying there was an error, other times the app just spins. At first I thought it could be my home internet connection so I tried connecting through hotspots from two different carriers. Sometimes clicking the Clear Storage button helps fix the issue and other times it doesn’t.
I enjoy sitting down with a coffee and reading the paper but the frustration of an application that does not consistently work is more frustrating than it is worth. I will be canceling my subscription.
