### 1/5 — Cada vez peor

*2024-08-28*

Ademas de ser muy cara la suscripcion, los anuncios son cada vez mas intrusivos y prominentes, al punto de saturar los recursos del telefono y no poder seguir viendo la app. Estos de El Norte quieres ganas por todos lados a costa de los usuarios del servicio que cada vez reciben menos por mas.

### 3/5 — Toma mucho tiempo en abrirse la aplicación

*2024-08-05*

Por qué muestran un anuncio de Telcel cada que abro la aplicación si soy suscriptor?

### 1/5 — No deja hacer login con suscripción

*2024-07-16*

Pague suscripción y me dice que no se encuentran suscripciones en mi cuenta de Google.

Pregunta para el desarrollador, acaso no corren pruebas en la aplicación de login y de suscripciones? Checando las reseñas se ve que este problema lleva años. Como una empresa tan grande sigue con desarrolladores tan malos?

### 2/5 — Lluvia de publicidad

*2020-04-06*

Pese a pagar una suscripción la aplicación está repleta de publicidad. Si se paga una suscripción se espera que no exista publicidad molestando la experiencia dentro de la aplicación.

### 4/5 — Please update for iPhone X

*2018-02-07*

Would really appreciate if the app would take advantage of the entire screen and not just add black bars..

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2017-11-15*

El Norte es la voz de la gente ante la corrupcion de los empleados del gobierno...gracias por su gran labor

### 3/5 — Anticuada

*2017-10-07*

La nueva navegación no se siente natural en su uso. Y tiene algunas imprecisiones.

### 1/5 — No lo actualicen

*2017-09-30*

Lleno de botones “modernos” en lugar de estar bien seccionado, estructurado y compacto ahora es un “scroll down” interminable para ver las noticias.. Muy muy decepcionado con la actualización.. no cometan el error de actualizarla!
Debería de haber una opción para escoger la versión que más te guste (anterior y está “moderna”)

### 1/5 — Inservible

*2016-05-01*

No se puede usar la app. Te manda a nuevas ventanas (me imagino de publicidad) que ni siquiera funcionan bien... Pésimo

### 3/5 — Incomodo

*2016-04-29, version 4.8*

Esta muy incomodo estar viendo los títulos de las noticias y que se esté moviendo solo, sólo para que tengas que ver la publicidad afuerzas. Como si no fuera suficiente con solo ponerlas.
