### 1/5 — Full screen ads

*2026-06-03*

Egregious full screen ads, unreliable login, and drop in content quality has led me to realize how much less frequently I even bother opening the app. It's a shame.

### 2/5 — Not much news coverage

*2026-05-03*

Since the Herald was sold and the news people were let go or left the paper has suffered greatly from a lack of news coverage especially for local news.

### 1/5 — Disorganized Content

*2025-04-25*

The news feed is so disorganized. The news, sports and other articles run together.
 I suggest categories to choose your topic.  
I am considering canceling my subscription because the content is not comparable to the Guardian.

### 1/5 — No Landscape View !!!!

*2025-02-18*

Deleted

### 1/5 — Poor try…

*2024-12-05*

The revised “SaltWire” web site  was designed for smartphones not iPads. It is difficult to navigate, skinny on news, and a vague excuse for journalism. Good luck. Nice try. I plan to drop my subscription. Bye…

### 1/5 — Not Recommended

*2024-12-05*

This app loaded automatically on my iPad yesterday and my other independent news provider (not PNI) was deleted. I was not consulted. Very bad business practice. The app is clunky, slow, does not display well (no landscape orientation), is full of advertisements, and the stories neither catch the eye visually nor are they interesting….or what I want to read. How to kill nearly 200 years of Atlantic news reporting excellence. App now deleted and not recommended.

### 1/5 — Don’t subscribe !

*2024-12-01*

I emailed, called, even tried their online inquiry page to cancel my subscription before it was due, and I still got charged a week later! I’m not giving up but don’t recommend SaltWire online edition for sure.

### 1/5 — account access

*2024-10-24*

It seems I can no longer access news and can’t find out why. No idea how to check the status of my account.

### 1/5 — Logging into app

*2024-01-22*

The app repeatedly logs me out; now does not allow me to log in even when the identical credentials are used to successfully log into the website.  I have tried deleting and then re-adding the app to ensure I have the most current version.

### 1/5 — Looks like an App from 1952

*2024-01-21*

Considering they charge an arm and a leg for half researched articles written by hacks, this app should be banned from not only the App Store but also the solar system.  Do better you thieves.
