### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2022-07-23, version 3.2.50*

Nice to see both the page layout and easy navigation to the stories

### 3/5 — On line paper

*2022-07-21, version 3.2.50*

The on line version of the paper is easy to use. BUT, I would much rather read the paper copy! I like reading from paper plus it is easier to do my puzzles! Hope it doesn’t become more than Sat this way.

### 5/5 — Cape Cod Times

*2022-04-24, version 3.2.50*

I enjoy the fact that I can read the paper at my convenience and never worry about the delivery. Easy format to use. Yes I would recommend it.

### 5/5 — User friendly and intuitive

*2022-04-18, version 3.2.50*

The App has been surprisingly very easy to use and super intuitive. The team has done a nice job making an application that computer literate and new users should be able to enjoy.

### 5/5 — Enjoy the

*2022-03-01, version 3.2.50*

I enjoy the layout of this app, I’m glad I’m able to scan/read the paper in a nostalgic form.
Until you requested a nickname!!!! All taken and I must choose one before sending my review!

### 5/5 — Times

*2022-02-13, version 3.2.50*

App is much better than the old one. More versatile and I like the icon notice that the paper has arrived.

### 5/5 — Cape Cod Times review

*2022-02-06, version 3.2.50*

Great paper, keeps me up to date on Cape news as I am only on the Cape part time👍 very informative 😊

### 5/5 — Great Ideas

*2022-01-26, version 3.2.50*

When I run out of ideas, especially for dinner, I got to this App for help. It always works for me!

### 5/5 — App is improved dramatically

*2022-01-07, version 3.2.50*

Much better read and accessibility

### 5/5 — I enjoy the online version

*2022-01-06, version 3.2.50*

Less paper in my recycle bin. Can read it anywhere. Don’t have to wait for the paper to be delivered!

### 5/5 — Cape Cod Times

*2021-12-01, version 3.2.50*

I’ve been reading the Times for 63 years, beginning with the New Bedford Times when I was 5. Still reading the Cape Cod times since I moved to the Cape in 1961.  Never disappointed.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2021-10-07, version 3.2.50*

Text is crisp and clear, even on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Great way to read today’s paper

*2021-09-29, version 3.2.50*

Always on time, by 7am, very convenient, no need to go out to the store, no delivery issues, and always available when able to connect to the internet.

### 4/5 — Solid paper-like interface

*2021-09-23, version 3.2.50*

Not as flashy as New York Times or Boston Globe and really easy to use. Newspapers show what they think is important when they order articles (front page, above fold, etc) and this app allows you to see the order at time of print. Other newspaper apps seem to reorder and prioritize based on popularity.

### 5/5 — Cape Cod Times Online Edition

*2021-08-15, version 3.2.50*

The online edition is very enjoyable. I love receiving local news and reading the editorials without having physical newspaper around to discard.  I read this on my tablet every day. I can highlight a story and the printed version appears below or beside story. Most comfortable to me is to hold tablet in portrait orientation so story appears below.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Archaic and devoid of news

*2023-07-16*

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

### 1/5 — Buggy app

*2023-01-27, version 3.6.13*

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.

### 1/5 — App very unstable

*2022-05-28, version 3.2.50*

At least every two weeks or more frequently I have to delete app and download again as it shuts down.  Today I have done this five times and reloaded and still cannot read paper without in shutting down

### 1/5 — Consistency of the Times

*2020-04-03, version 3.1.76*

Consistently terrible.  No stars.
Aside from lots of technical issues, opinion is routinely integrated into the news articles which are purchased from the partisan Associated Press. Website is embarrassingly user unfriendly. The average high school student can do better with an online template. 
What happened to journalism students learning news is who, what, when, and where, and how. Opinion  goes onto the editorial page.

### 2/5 — Have up on app

*2021-07-01, version 3.2.50*

After 4 attempts to correct the problem of not being recognized as a subscriber I have given up. When I attempt to read the news paper online I get the message that I need to subscribe to read the article. One person told me I had accidentally subscribed to the demo version. Imagine that!
Finally I’ve thrown up my hands in disgust and unsubscribed. Which I had no problem doing.

### 2/5 — Better than waiting all day for a delivery!

*2021-05-21, version 3.2.50*

Now if I could just get one of your journalists or editors to reply to me (a loyal customer covering 5 decades) when I reach out things would be perfect. Just like Peter Meyer promised me they would be when I exchanged emails with him a couple of weeks ago. And you have the audacity to run an editorial supporting local media. You cater to a few.

### 2/5 — Delivery

*2021-01-30, version 3.2.50*

As much as I like the on line issues of the Times I do have a HUGE issue with home delivery.  At best I get delivery 5 times a week.  My father waits every morning to get the paper only to be disappointed  that it’s not there.  This past week we didn’t get a paper mon.,wed.,fri.,and today on Sat. Looks like we’re down to 3 days a week.  I also don’t have an account number or any information to track my account on line. Not sure we’ll be renewing which is such a shame because we really enjoy the paper.

### 2/5 — Crashes Constantly

*2020-10-29, version 3.1.76*

Over the past two weeks, the app crashes with alarming regularity. I have deleted and reinstalled it, cleared all cached date, rebooted my iPad, all with the same outcome: crash on the 3rd or 4th article I open. Don’t waste your money on this until it’s fixed.

### 2/5 — Makes you log in often- at least daily

*2017-09-26, version 2.6.73*

App will not keep log in info and I have to type it in every time. Also when I click link from email to read an article, brings me to App Store to download rather than straight to the app. Super glitchy was to get some local news. Needs work.

### 3/5 — Cape Cod Times App

*2022-10-11, version 3.6.13*

Some technical glitches : Not always able to enlarge text of article or cartoon. Not able to share all , cartoon or article. Insufficient opportunities generally to comment or write to editor.

### 5/5 — Love layout, possible app icon update?

*2023-04-05*

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!

### 5/5 — Ease and substance

*2023-01-28, version 3.6.13*

The e-edition is so easy to use and refer to no matter when or where

### 5/5 — Love Cape Cod Times App

*2023-01-28, version 3.6.13*

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.

### 5/5 — News, fun, & joy

*2022-12-20, version 3.6.13*

Remarkable writing, in-depth stories, yet things that mean so much on multiple levels- cerebral, social, and heart-felt!
I love my day dose of Cape Cod Times- I wouldn’t live without it!

### 5/5 — No paper is great

*2022-12-18, version 3.6.13*

The digital paper is terrific, can read everywhere and no paper to throw away! Like it allot!

### 5/5 — Nice app, great local paper!

*2022-08-07, version 3.2.50*

Easy to navigate/read. Keeps me up to date on my local, National/International news.

### 5/5 — Good stuff and easy to read

*2022-07-16, version 3.2.50*

Good stuff and easy to read. Nice layout and format

### 5/5 — Love the layout

*2022-06-11, version 3.2.50*

This app is GREAT! It looks and reads like a paper newspaper AND you have the option of selecting the individual article for even easier reading!  Also, with the tap of your finger at the bottom of an article it will automatically bring you to the concluding page so you’re not flipping page to page.  If you want to look at a previous day paper-NO PROBLEM! It’s all right at your fingertips!

### 5/5 — Great format

*2022-06-09, version 3.2.50*

Like the ease of reading online. Enjoying my new news.

### 5/5 — Cape Cod news from afar

*2022-05-13, version 3.2.50*

We have vacationed in Cape Cod for more than 30 years so it’s nice to read the Cape Cod Times and stay informed about one of our favorite places!  Newspapers across the country are struggling with readership so we are also happy to support newspapers like this.  Thanks!
