### 2/5 — Delivery

*2022-04-04, version 4.11.11*

Not. Much in the paper any more but even less since we lost our delivery man and can’t reach a live person to find out why I am not getting it on a regular basis even though my prescription is paid up . Your automated system doesn’t cut it when something requires more than a push of a button .

### 4/5 — Th e  Leader post review

*2021-09-27, version 4.11.11*

I like the leader post and I read it every day. What I miss the is the Monday edition paper form. Return to the Monday morning paper.

I miss a full sports section with current information.
i suggest that you delay your printing deadline to allow your writers time to get there stories in before press time.
Remember we are all not all political junkies so less of that topic.

There is nothing better in the morning as a good paper and a good cup of coffee.

I have been reading the Leader Post for sixty years. 
I hope to continue this for along time yet.

I love sports and enjoy stories of our local teams as well as our and i know other people have other there favourites other than the Riders, Leafs, and the Jays also the Pats.

I like news from around the world and our great province.

I believe that a paper should tell true stories . Not print editorials. There is a section for that.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns

### 1/5 — Frozen

*2019-11-01, version 4.9.16*

Screen freezes at least once daily.  After viewing a picture it’s often impossible to find the “x” to exit as it doesn’t contrast with dark colours. Perhaps move the X out of the picture?

### 4/5 — Long term subscriber

*2019-07-08, version 4.9.16*

I find the Leader Post a good source of local, provincial and Canadian news as well as international news stories.

### 3/5 — Price discrepancy

*2016-08-04, version 4.8.4*

It shows $12.99/month in description but $14.99/month in purchase??

### 1/5 — iPad app

*2015-03-09, version 3.4.2*

This app has never been reliable in all the time I have used it.  It will work for awhile and the it will just quit downloading the papers.  I have emailed support, they still haven't gotten back to me after 5 days.  They have always been slow to respond.

### 1/5 — Leader post

*2025-05-26, version 7.0*

This app worked well for me for many years . Last week it was raked over by an a top off asking for me to purchase a day or week subscription. Changing password successfully, uninstalling app and reinstalling have not worked. Prior to this week I would have given it a 4 but now I can not even give it a 1

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2024-04-04, version 7.0*

No need for this app or any other to have any of my personal information or purchase requirements. Am not getting. Will go back to the paper version before selling my soul.

### 1/5 — Review

*2022-03-11, version 4.11.11*

You are a very biased paper. You keep pushing the fear aspect of Covid. Why would a yoga instructor deserve huge front page headline stating masking is required in her studio when there are much more urgent issues to report not even related to masks.  You are very unprofessional in your reporting and slam anyone who goes against your narrative IF they even get a mention. I have cancelled my subscription as I was down to the puzzles, cartoons  and obituaries as the pretty much the only worthwhile reading.

### 1/5 — Complicated software for settings

*2022-03-06, version 4.11.11*

When the E paper is having an issue you should e-mail your users immediately and let them know so we don’t waste time trying to get it to work from our end like thinking it’s our internet or device not working.  Also the settings don’t let you do things and so phone calls are required.  For instance I have set I want the last 7 papers saved.  Yet if I don’t download each day it’s not possible to get them later? Since your system is bad in this area then do an auto download of the amount of papers I want saved.

### 1/5 — Fix this technology

*2022-03-05, version 4.11.11*

The software sucks. Even when it works it doesn’t work properly but for 3 days now I have been unable to download my epaper. So I am paying for something I am not receiving. Very frustrating and I guess I may as well cancel my subscription.

### 1/5 — N

*2021-11-01, version 4.11.11*

Limited local news except for Murray Mandry constantly criticizing the provincial response to COVID.  He’s a political reporter??  When is the last time he reported on municipal politics.  Time to cancel my subscription.

### 1/5 — Brutal Service

*2021-02-13, version 4.9.16*

The app is fine when it works. However almost every week you have to call the Leader Post to have them rest it because it constantly wants to have you pay for it again. The subscription is for a year prepaid but the Leader Post cannot spend any money or time to have the app recognize it as a one year subscription for the IOS (iPad or iPhone). SO FRUSTRATING. Leader Post NEEDS to fix this issue. They admit it is a known problem for many people.

### 1/5 — Re: epaper

*2020-07-20, version 4.9.16*

I much prefer the actual newspaper that I can hold in my hands.   The e-paper is difficult to navigate and I cannot clip out articles that I find interesting and may wish to re-read at a future time.

### 1/5 — Frustration

*2020-07-07, version 4.9.16*

I find that trying to read the Leader Post on a computer or iPad to be extremely frustrating. I would rather you just send the pages with Tuesday’s print edition.

### 1/5 — System Sucks

*2019-12-23, version 4.9.16*

The system keeps locking us out.

### 5/5 — Great Feature

*2021-02-19, version 4.9.16*

Ability to comment on certain articles is a very nice feature. Getting to see how other subscribers feel on issues is very interesting and let’s you feel connected.

### 5/5 — Most convenient

*2020-10-02, version 4.9.16*

Enjoy the excellent insights of your readers as well as the opinions which are sometimes questionable.😎

### 5/5 — Better than expected 👍

*2020-07-27, version 4.9.16*

I miss the paper product ..... but the email Monday’s is easy to follow. And much more portable 😊. All good.

### 5/5 — E- Paper

*2020-07-06, version 4.9.16*

While I Prefer reading the Leader Post as a paper copy, one day a week reading the newspaper on my IPad is good. I do realize, that e-reading is part of the future, but until that becomes day comes, I am going to enjoy the paper copy.

### 5/5 — Leader-Post

*2019-10-10, version 4.9.16*

I enjoy reading on line not missing current affairs and get on Saturday. I often read in wee hours that way I don’t miss current events. I went digital less paper around house but still enjoy paper copy on Saturday. If I see something I need copy of them I buy paper. I hope always leader post have been avid reader for years.

### 5/5 — Best choice I could have made!

*2019-02-20, version 4.9.16*

No delivery worries; no worries about the mail box filling up when I’m gone; I will get the paper no matter where I am as long as I have my device; no excess newsprint paper to dispose of; accessible to more than one person at a time so multiple family members can all read at the same time!  And. .  . the cost per month is a sweet deal!  Win! Win! .... No matter how you slice it!

### 5/5 — Press reader solves problems

*2015-10-16, version 3.4.2*

If you have a problem with this app, skip Leader Post staff. Go to Press Reader website and check out FAQ. You will find a link for support.

### 5/5 — App size problems

*2015-03-26, version 3.4.2*

Love the app and reading the paper on iPad, however in spite of deleting papers regularly the app size continues to grow and uses all our available space.  We have to regularly delete app and reload it which is a bit of a pain.

### 4/5 — Review

*2024-01-15, version 7.0*

This would have been five stars if there was more local sports. It has been awhile since there has been much in the way of reporting on the U of R basketball, except for short accounts of scores. 
I realize it's mostly the lack of people to do this, plus if I have understood this correctly, there is not much left of an actual Leader Post building.

### 4/5 — Obstructed words

*2021-09-28, version 4.11.11*

When someone leaves a comment on an article there is a number comes up and that number blocks words which, at times, can be very annoying!
