Consistently Disappointing

Once again, entire paper won’t load. Was forced to cancel my home delivery because of issues even the department manager could not resolve. Want to support local journalism but customer support and tech improvements clearly need attention.

App and website are disfunctional

Clicking on an article link leads to website. App has constant ads. Need a functional app and website before bombarding with ads. Articles have excellent journalism

Good Paper - Weird Priorities

YKIYK Baton Rouge puts a thumb in New Orleans. Lafayette does the same to Baton Rouge. New Orleans is too distracted to care about the rest of the state. This mindset is woven into the political space, business culture, and sports. And The Advocate would be a great news source if it stop playing into it. Example: under sports nav: LSU, HS, Saints, Pels,…

Subscribed for years

Can’t believe that even if I change password I can’t stay logged in to ever read the Acadiana e edition. Never been as frustrated. Calling customer service doesn’t fix permanently.

Balky Software

The app does not run correctly on my iPad. Login is difficult at times. Still needs work.

Stop

I like The Advocate I do not like you having pop-ups that block my screen and stop me from doing what I wanna do. So please stop stop having your spam pop-up block me and get off my phone and when I want to review something in the advocate, I will let nowhere else other than The Advocate but if you keep hitting me with pop-ups all the phone in the garbage.

Paper vs app

App version needs more set up, like the paper, with sections etc

Sports

Good article on B Kelly

Outstanding Newspaper

Excellent News Articles, and Sports reports

Great news source

Best balanced reporting in the state
Access has been the problem. Constant password change required

App

App works fine most of the time. I read the e-edition, mostly. My wife reads print edition. We're covered like the dew.

Television online often beats the Advocate on breaking news.

Paywall

Why pay for the news when there are other sources that are free.

E edition

Why change it it’s much harder to use. The old way was much simpler

Blurred out stories on The Advocate website

Why post a story and prevent readers’ access? It’s annoying and despicable.

Update is terrible

I have been an online subscriber to The Advocate for many, many years. The update came without notice, so now I cannot login, nor does it recognize my password. When I messaged the company, the few suggestions they gave did not help. This happened previously this year and I’m getting very frustrated with the entire process! Thinking of canceling my subscription.

E-edition

E- edition still difficult to use

Junk

This new app is a piece of junk. The E-edition is completely broken. It points to as-laden web pages that often don’t return to their launch point. I cancelled my subscription and won’t renew unless this app is fixed.

Site

Hard to get around, does not load properly

Advocate online edition

Too far to the left, l am trying to cancel it now. I just can’t take it anymore, sorry.

New E-Edition

The E edition is extremely hard to read online, a clear step backward in my opinion. Your “opinion” paper is a shadow of the legacy newspaper of the past.
