### 4/5 — Great as long as I am home

*2024-11-05*

A nice “green” way to read the Globe and Mail each day without ending up with a recycling bin full of newsprint.  My only issue with it is that when I travel, which is a key reason to subscribe to this service, for some inexplicable reason I am unable to get the latest day’s paper to download.  I tried calling tech support with the Globe but they were not helpful (do-we loading on Apple devices) - YMMV.

### 4/5 — Why can’t we play the games.

*2024-06-02*

All is good, except the games are not interactive

### 3/5 — Format failure

*2024-04-19*

I find the Globe2go has many format failures.

### 2/5 — Unstable

*2024-03-29*

Offline reading is a hit and miss, half of the time I can’t access my library while offline. When I travel to a different country, it never works on the first day, only after a day or two the paper starts to show up

### 4/5 — It’s ok, but……..

*2024-02-22*

Until recently, I read the Globe on Press Reader. When we renewed our subscription we had to switch to the Globe2Go app.  The pink headlines are very annoying. I’d love to either get rid of them or switch back to Press Reader.

### 3/5 — Great app, but not always reliable

*2024-02-13, version 6.3.6*

I travel a lot internationally and appreciate being able to read the Globe wherever I am. It sometimes has glitches though, and won't download completely despite good internet availability.
Sometimes I have to log off and then log on again.  When I asked the tech help why that keeps happening all he said was “sorry”.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-01-27, version 6.3.6*

Fantastic way to get the news.

### 5/5 — One of the worlds great newspapers

*2024-01-13, version 6.3.6*

Great coverage, terrific design, all around fantastic paper!

### 3/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-01-13, version 6.3.6*

Interface leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest issue I have is I can’t delete specific issues and keep others. I can only delete after a set timeframe. There are issues I’d like to keep for future reference but now that means I have to keep them all which creates a mess on my iPad

### 5/5 — GREAT CONTENT.

*2023-11-24, version 6.3.6*

Just wish the Ontario edition gets uploaded earlier as other editions.

### 5/5 — Enjoy my morning globe again

*2023-11-15, version 6.3.6*

I have subscribed to the Globe for decades, but I have found that the print seems to be getting smaller, and many days I never even opened the paper. Since I switched to the digital version I am reading the Globe every day. I like that it looks like the real paper, but I can change the size of the font to suit me. I also like that I can read it whenever and wherever I am. Also there are no missed deliveries. A great system.

### 5/5 — Save a tree

*2023-08-28*

Excellent way to receive my daily paper and not only reduce the amount of waste but also save a tree and take the paper anywhere and read at your leisure.

### 5/5 — Globe app easy to navigate

*2023-08-27, version 6.3.6*

And download. Love the audio option which lets me ‘hear’the newspaper while being mobile.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Charging me when I pay for a subscription??

*2025-05-09*

I already pay for a globe subscription and I’m so fed up with these constant additional charges every time I want to read the paper.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-02-10*

No response to help. None.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work if you create an account with parter

*2024-07-04*

I’ve used this app in the past on my tablet and now have a new account which I (foolishly) used my AppleID to create. But then there doesn’t seem to be a way to login to the app. When it does work, I like that it looks like the printed on newsprint paper.

### 1/5 — Globe to Go App

*2024-06-11*

This app has had problems that reoccur, for example I can’t even download the app for some reason. I’ve got problems downloading the paper and it’s very frustrating. Actually a poorly designed app.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2024-04-17*

This app is a good idea and considering it launched more than a decade ago, at the time, quite progressive.  The problem is that the app is glitchy and often needs to be deleted and reloaded.  I suspect the developers have done next to no work to keep it updated or improve it in anyway.  So today it is as frustrating as it is useful.

### 1/5 — The damm thing does not work!

*2024-03-23*

Bad design, with everything going digital why not invest in good wirking app

### 1/5 — Limited devices

*2023-11-27, version 6.3.6*

Terrible app. Only allows you to use on two devices. We have many more devices in our household of two people. Extremely inconvenient

### 1/5 — meh….

*2023-03-30, version 6.3.6*

….. for the most part the app fails to work ! Horrendous that past couple of days…I have given up trying to use it. For several reasons. I migrated over to the other Globe app. That works fine. This app needs attention. G2G App  just doesn’t work ! I will not try to go back. If you create G2G app, you should be maintaining it and work out the bugs before putting it out there.

### 1/5 — Report on Business

*2023-02-18, version 6.3.6*

I pay a lot for this subscription. Why dont I get report on business

### 1/5 — Globe 2 go is $31/month!!!!that $468+tax per year!!!!

*2023-01-25, version 6.3.6*

What a ridiculous price when I could switch to the Washington Post for $39/yr first year then $120 after that … what is wrong here is that the Globe & Mail is highway robbery ….

### 5/5 — No print version available in Atlantic Canada

*2026-07-12*

### 5/5 — reading the Globe daily

*2024-04-03*

I started to read the Globe daily because I felt  just reading the NP put me in a position of being too one-sided. So far I think this has helped me greatly.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-03-27*

This is an amazing app and very user friendly.

### 5/5 — good

*2024-03-21*

### 5/5 — Appreciation

*2024-02-22*

Appreciate the convenience of being able to read G&M easily, while we are away and at home.

### 5/5 — You rock

*2024-02-19, version 6.3.6*

You rock - great news, well researched, and relevant.

### 5/5 — Globe&Mail - Good national & global & topic coverage and editing

*2024-01-28, version 4.11.21*
