### 1/5 — Do not subscribe

*2025-01-15*

The description of this app is false. You cannot access the same content as online and the business behind it denies any responsibility for this when you try to complain. It is the worst customer service I have ever received - avoid.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback - We're very sorry to hear that you have not enjoyed the app experience. The app offers users all the latest news articles from the EDP, alongside daily digital editions of the paper and our daily interactive puzzles.

The news article reading experience in the app is designed to bring you all of the latest news, as it happens. Giving you access to the key news and events happening across Norfolk. At this point, the experience offers the latest news only, not an archive of all past articles published. 

We have raised your feedback with the app team and they will factor this into plans for future development.

### 1/5 — App now awful

*2024-07-21*

This app never was great but latest version is just terrible. Wrong pictures, appalling grammar (is there no proof reading?) and asks for login every time despite having a subscription. Web site much better so why bother with the app?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying the latest version of the app. 
We have added a range of new features and functionality and worked to deliver an improved user experience, but we would appreciate any further feedback you have to help us improve this further. If you would like to send any feedback, please contact us at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk

### 3/5 — Linking account a problem.,

*2024-05-23*

Tried to link account to  ID etc. but hopeless. Also no facility to read letters.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback - We're sorry to hear you have experienced issues linking your account within the app. If you can please contact us at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk with further details, we will do our best to help resolve this.

We will pass your feedback regarding letters onto the team to review.

### 1/5 — Unstable

*2024-03-14, version 16.3*

Unstable. Continous errors.

### 1/5 — E edition

*2024-02-09*

What is the matter with this app? It keeps on telling me I am not subscribed when I am. I cannot read the e edition on the day but I can read yesterday’s and past editions. Why wait until tomorrow to read todays e edition. I have removed the app and reloaded it but it still doesn’t work properly. It’s a nonsense.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We've just released a new app config that should resolve this issue. Can you please open the app, close it fully and then reopen it. This should resolve the problem. If you have any further issues, please feel free to contact our customer care team at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk

### 1/5 — E Edition

*2023-12-09, version 16.2*

Pay to subscribe to read e edition which you would expect to be available to read on the the morning and not wait until later to read it. Is it unreasonable to expect to view it at 07.00??????

### 5/5 — A huge upgrade!

*2023-11-23*

Going digital and with the new app, makes a world of difference. The ui is great with full local news and no ads. Great work EDP

### 4/5 — A great step forward

*2023-06-18*

I’m really impressed with the app (v16.1). I’ve never liked the EDP’s web version, but find this much better. Thing I’d like to see improved:

— Resume my place in an article when returning to the app.
— Links to past stories should open in the app rather than in my browser.
— Photos should be zoomable. On the website I can at least expand the display to see more detail.
— Comments should sync with those on the website.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback - We will pass this onto our app development team for review.

### 5/5 — New Subscription

*2023-05-09*

I just paid for a years subscription but the app won’t allow me access. It keeps saying access denied.
I can open it on safari but it defeats the object of the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you've experienced problems accessing your subscription within the app.

If you purchased your subscription via our website, you will need to login by entering the email address and password associated with your subscription.

If you purchased within the app itself, please try closing the app and reopening to relink your subscription.

If you are still experiencing issues accessing, please contact us at nq-digital.subs@newsquest.co.uk and we will help resolve these.

### 1/5 — Poor customer service from the EDP

*2023-02-16*

Took an hour trying to find how to get the digital edition back on my 87 year old mother’s iPad. Shame on you EDP making such a big change without sending out a helpful email. She’s been without her paper for over 2 weeks before she finally asked for my help.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review - We are sorry to hear that your mother has experienced problems accessing her editions in the new version of the app - Unfortunately due to the way in which App Stores handle the data of subscribers, we were unable to contact every reader by email to inform them of the changes - However, our customer service team are always happy to provide assistance and answer any questions.
