Readability
Overall satisfied but sometimes a line or two of type disappears at the end of a story.
Happy reader
The Toledo Blade has the best coverage of the news in all northwest Ohio. I enjoy the sports coverage, especially high school. Keep on being an unbiased news source.
It’s The Blade
If you’re from the Toledo area. It’s The Blade, pretty good especially the local news, sports and obits. Not so much for most of the right wing cartoons and op-eds. Except for Keith Buress on sundays seems to have had a change of heart
A Sharp Blade
Having The Blade online allows a way to increase the size of print of the articles. It is also easy to maneuver through the sections and pages. When necessary one can return to previous copies of the newspaper. The though provoking articles are appreciated, and I can either download many articles or mail these to former Toledo friends.

Only slightly better than the news app
Got rid of the Blade News App because it wouldn’t load properly. I now have the Blade Newspaper App and it takes forever to load and I can’t delete any of the past newspaper issues, after I read them. I think someone should fix this app and the other app also. They’re both lousy and pretty much useless. Sorry, I know that the truth hurts, but it’s true.

Blade Feedback
It takes a few days getting used to reading The Blade on an iPad vs. newspaper format, but, you will get used to this. I like being able to read The Blade early...4/5 a.m. before the day begins. I supplement this with the WSJ, Detroit Free Press, and the Fox News website. Thanks.
Non-liberal bias
Finally a paper I can read that tells the news and doesn’t constantly bash the conservative viewpoints. I ended my current city’s newspaper subscription and now read the Blade every single morning for all of my news. I have never experienced any problems downloading the issue. Great job.
Dictionary function Bugged
Looking up words by highlighting them and opening the dictionary works fine, but hitting the “done” button does not work whatsoever, and I am locked out of the rest of the app until I kill it and restart it. Please look into this!
I love the content and having the Blade available on my iPhone but this is very frustrating.

Uploading not happening
The paper frequently will not upload.
Quality
The quality of the app is excellent and very easy to navigate. I cannot think of any suggestions or improvements that need to be made. Extremely pleased.

I really enjoy reading on-line paper, which is available anytime I want to read it or get caught up on news and sports.
Saturday’s paper
The format for most of the lead in captions were missing some of their words and then in some of the articles themselves some of the paragraphs leading into the next column were missing words and made no sense.
Improvements
Your crossword puzzle should be interactive. I have to print it to do it. You can also expand the puzzle section.
Convenient with a drawback
I like having the convenience of The Blade on my phone, especially on days when there is no physical paper. The problem is trying to read more than one day’s paper in a single day. I don’t always have the time each day to read it, but the app almost always freezes when trying to download another day.

Options in Blade Apps
Of the three options in Toledo Blade apps, this standard newspaper layout seems to work best. Media editors need to watch cutting off columns too closely. We lose letters that are clipped off at end of articles.
It’s 5 stars for me.
I love the online format of The Blade. The format is like the print version but less bulky, less ink on the fingers and no paper to recycle. The photos are sharper with better color. I like how I can email links to articles or print them out.
Blade App
Highly functional and works great plus no paper to handle and recycle. Thanks for asking!!!
Why, why, why
I am unable to read the Blade today. This happens again and again. Why do I very frequently have problems downloading the Blade to my iPad? Why are words often missing at the bottoms of columns? Why don’t you make sure that everything works before you upgrade the app? I am paying for this and feel cheated.
Happened again after several months of uninterrupted service. I am unable to access the Blade on my iPad. I have been a customer for many, many years but am very disappointed in today’s digital product because of the unreliability.
Some days I can read the Blade and others not so much. Very disappointed!

Loading
Sometimes it automatically loads the new edition and usually have to make it load.
Consistent Bug
Anytime I have highlighted a word to “look it up”, I can’t go back to reading the Blade newspaper until I delete the app and reinstall.
