Maybe the UL could get competent app developer to fix these issues. ### 2/5 — Not Great *2024-06-07, version 211.4* 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. ### 3/5 — Great app *2024-03-16, version 209.2* Makes it easy to read paper from anywhere in the world ### 2/5 — New app version has too many bugs. Won’t even turn a page *2024-02-23, version 209.2* 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. ### 2/5 — E-reader continues to go downhill *2024-02-03, version 209.2* 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. ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-12-22* 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! ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-12-10* 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! ### 4/5 — I love the app *2023-11-30, version 3.9.09* Very easy to maneuver through ### 4/5 — good coverage *2023-04-07, version 3.7.16* just needs a bit more international and regional coverage ### 5/5 — App *2023-04-01, version 3.7.16* The app allows me to read the paper on Saturdays and on the occasion when the paper is undeliverable. ### 5/5 — App works great. Newspaper no as good *2023-03-22, version 3.7.16* The app is the only way I read the Union Leader. Unfortunately the quality of new reporting has deteriorated over the years. Let us not forget that the newspaper endorsed Joe Biden for president. Perhaps the worst president in history. ### 5/5 — Loving it! *2023-01-22, version 3.7.16* Great app. Don’t change it!❤️❤️🙏🙏 ### 5/5 — Great app for reading the daily paper! *2023-01-20, version 3.7.16* I’ve used the app for years and have had a great experience. I’ve had very few issues… occasionally images take a bit to focus or maybe a delay opening the paper. Those have been one-off problems and haven’t hindered enjoying the paper because you have multiple ways to read articles. I prefer zooming page view, but if the text is blurry, I can click the article and use article view. I like the navigation option and ability to go to pst papers too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating to use *2026-03-15, version 218.0* The IPad version app constantly jumps to the top of the page making it impossible to read the lower section ### 1/5 — Improvement? Not… *2025-03-20, version 215.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Poor quality *2024-09-05, version 211.4* This app has a lot of problems that aren't being addressed ### 1/5 — Difficult to open *2024-03-25, version 209.2* Since putting the blue screen with the Daniel Webster quote it is a project to open up to the newspaper. ### 1/5 — New version is awful *2024-03-12, version 209.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Lousy *2024-02-19, version 209.2* 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. ### 1/5 — New format *2024-02-04, version 209.2* 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. ### 1/5 — The app crashes *2021-01-20, version 2.6.81* I get 20 seconds and it crashes. Useless. Since they charge for a subscription they should make it work right. ### 1/5 — Needs something or start from scratch *2019-06-16, version 2.6.81* I have found this so frustrating. I used to bring up with iPad and was able to read. Then the app came along and it is awful. Sometimes I will get story and unable to finish as it will not scroll. Sometimes the story is split in the middle of words and you loose the continuity of story. Then there are the times it will not allow me to get the story in the reading column so II enlarge but will suddenly disappear entirely and I go back to page one. This has become worse in the last 3-4 months. Now having written review it will not allow me to send. I 1 star not allowed so I will up to 2 stars. ### 1/5 — Options need improvement *2017-08-16, version 2.6.81* A reader should have the ability in settings to pick the edition they want to load every time you open the app. Now, opening the state edition has way to many steps that you have to do every single day! Ugh. Open app, Click; options, state edition, paper you want, then fit to page. Now, this version got rid of the option of single tap to zoom. A step backwards. Every day same click, click, click.....why not upgrade the app so that users can set the edition they want only once and then everyday they get the edition they want to read instead of picking one edition over the other? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Local Paper *2024-01-29, version 3.9.09* 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. ### 5/5 — New Hampshire Union Leader *2023-11-28, version 3.9.09* 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! ### 5/5 — Great newspaper site! *2023-11-28, version 3.9.09* 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. ### 5/5 — Great way to read the paper *2023-11-13, version 3.7.16* 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 !! ### 5/5 — Love the App! *2023-10-24, version 3.7.16* 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! ### 5/5 — Union leader *2023-08-08, version 3.7.16* Newspapers are something my husband and I look forward to DAILY . The Union leader offers international, national and local news We may not always agree with the editorials or letters to the editor, but we need to be aware of varying views Basically, I want to thank you for trying your best to make the general public better educated and more aware ### 5/5 — Union leader *2023-08-03* Newspapers are something my husband and I look forward to DAILY .
