Frustrating to use
The IPad version app constantly jumps to the top of the page making it impossible to read the lower section
Not great
My biggest gripe with this app is that when I zoom in on a student or page it doesn’t stay it just collapses back to the full page view which has print so small I can’t read it.
Maybe the UL could get competent app developer to fix these issues.

Improvement? Not…
Long time reader and app user.
Downloaded onto a new iPad; continues to be a difficult reading experience. Long download time to retrieve daily paper. Expanding size using fingers immediately returns to original small size. Very frustrating app.

Poor quality
This app has a lot of problems that aren't being addressed
Not Great
This app makes you play this ridiculous game of tapping the skip advertisement on the opening screen. Sometimes I’m tapping this for a full minute in an effort to get to the paper I paid for that also has advertisements. Zooming in on articles is also difficult as the paper resets and doesn’t hold the zoom. Page turning is also challenging and sometimes you’re forced to use the arrow buttons to turn the page. The previous app was much better.

Difficult to open
Since putting the blue screen with the Daniel Webster quote it is a project to open up to the newspaper.
Great app
Makes it easy to read paper from anywhere in the world
New version is awful
The old version defaulted to downloading the daily edition so you could read it offline. Page turning was like a “newspaper”, duh!
The new version is just another darn news site with adds and the ability to view a, eVersion of the paper. It keeps on checking the internet and out of the blue, will reload the page you are reading.
Unlike the old version, if you, like me, don’t read the whole paper in one shot, and go check email or something, when you come back, you need to start on page 1 again. The old version picked up where you left off. The stupid little arrows in the upper right corner to change pages are WAY too small. In the center top, instead of the section & page, like B3, it shows page 4 of21. Doesn’t help when you want to go to page directly. The blue triangles on evert article are unexplained and annoying.
I liked reading a local NH paper, but they ruined it. By by.

New app version has too many bugs. Won’t even turn a page
Horrible reading experience in the new app version released Feb. 2024. The newsfeed version has so many ads in the middle of the pages that it is annoying to try to use it.
The E-version has many bugs which cause it to crash when navigating from page to page, or it just simply will not change pages despite using either the arrows or PAGES. Changing pages in the app causes it to crash, or to stop changing pages. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app twice without any improvements.
It is annoying to have to give up on the app and go back to reading the news in the browser, but at least I can read all the pages and it doesn’t crash.
Shame on you, Union Leader, for putting out an app that doesn’t work properly for your customers.

Lousy
Previous version was easier to move around within each edition. If I wanted to save an article or an obit, I tapped on it, and could save it as text or as the original version in the paper itself. New e-edition makes it difficult to save an article in a usable format for future reference. Sunday news being published on Saturday means it’s Friday’s news. Sunday news is just that- Sunday news not Friday news. Going downhill fast.

New format
The new format for the digital edition is terrible. I was able in the past to just swipe from one page to another. Now I have to go through several steps for the next page. I wasn’t given the chance to retain the previous format.
E-reader continues to go downhill
As of Jan 2024 there has been a significant app update with a total UX redesign and new features like audio transcriptions. Unfortunately, this redesign is merely a way for the app to serve targeted ads to the user. Instead of just seeing ads featured in the print version (which I am fine with), the app now serves up targeted ads spliced in each article you click on.
Additionally, the app is slower to swipe between pages on the e-reader. Probably because of all the bandwidth spent loading ads to further monetize and disrupt my experience.
It feels like my subscription has been watered down significantly and the value reduced. Hope the newfound ad revenue is worth the subscription churn from users like me, union leader.

Great Local Paper
I’ve been a home delivery subscriber for 25 years. The paper is well organized, written with clarity, and mindful of varying opinions. And , the electronic edition is convenient on days when it snows, like today.
Great app
Not perfect, but pretty good app. I do love that you get to see the print version of the paper. When I swipe up to read the bottom of the page, I don’t like the way the page will scroll sideways a bit. The Globe does this perfectly btw. But I’m happy to be able to read my local news on my iPad!

I love the app
Very easy to maneuver through
New Hampshire Union Leader
Since we live in Florida for the winter months, it’s great to read about what’s happening in NH! The Mobile App allows me to read the news daily at a modest price!
Great newspaper site!
This is an easy to read online paper. I don't agree with most of its politics but it does keep me up to date with NH news! I read it online every morning.
Great way to read the paper
I was hesitant to move to the digital issues but I am glad it did , no more waiting for my paper to arrive and I have it wherever and whenever I want to read it . No more read the paper then throw it away . I can go back and read previous issues and print what I want . Take the plunge and move over to Digital !!

Love the App!
When I am out of town I can always stay apprised on local happenings. My first love is the print edition, but when I am not home this is so convenient!
