Philly burbs

Many times the Intelligencer does not open - only the Courier Times

Philly burbs Name change

Being from the burbs and working in the city … anything with Philly connected to the name has very bad mojo … for real I’m not joking

App changes my default newspaper.

App changes my default newspaper, The Intelligencer, to the Courier Times and there is no obvious way to change it back.

Newspaper app

This app stinks! Haven’t been able to view my e edition paper since it launched. Called for help. The call center in the Philippines cannot do a thing!!

Much harder to read than the old app. Navigation is poor and display difficult to read.

Enjoy reading the BCCT . Brief and concise and I can usually access the latest edition early in the morning.

Local news is good

Getting our local news each morning is great. But the updates throughout the day keep you aware of the latest developments.

Terribly laid out

Too many out-of-date articles. Wish I could get a refund NOW!

Awful app

I pay for a newspaper subscription and often cannot get access to it. Also ads show up when I am able to sign in. Since when do paid subscriptions have ads?

Trying to Cancel this account 9+ months

I have been trying to cancel this account for 9 months when I call the number letter on my bank statement 888-871-0687 recording said call the paper. I call the phillyburbs 866-492-1514. for digital subscription. I enter the requested information and the recording says thank you good buy.

Monday comes around. I work hard and
have little time for personal calls during m-f work week 8-7. I can not speak with anyone to cancel this account. VERY FRUSTRATING

This classified screen is awful . Before I could give all the info for my classified ads the screen goes blank. I tried 6 times to place ads and each time it died, how are you supposed to,plsce classified ads and set up,an account. Mary Anne zwhitehead 215-675-3947n

Terrible transition

Had Intelligencer app that worked fine. Got pushed to using this app and haven’t been able to log in or reset password. Shouldn’t these bugs be worked out BEFORE forcing subscribers to switch???

E-Newspaper has good features but app freezes

I love viewing the Courier Times and USA Today using the e-newspaper app. However there are way too many ads that I have no interested in and the app will freeze at least once daily but usually more. At times the app is unusable.

Freezes up

The phillyburbs app freezes up constantly when reading the enewspaper on my iPad. I constantly have to uninstall and reinstall the app. Plus the ads are annoying. The old enewspaper app worked fine.

Why do I need to constantly change size of view

sign in to the app almost daily? Real PITA. Previously had to re-sign in maybe ever 6 months.

What happened to "zoom" feature using 2 fingers to selextsize so I can read the samll print?
