## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Signing in

*2024-04-11*

The sign in system every time is annoying 
Every other platform keeps you signed in or doesn’t send you back to you email every time

### 1/5 — New format for on line view of Border Mail

*2023-08-20*

The Border Mail has changed it’s layout for readers of their on line paper.
It’s nowhere as easy to view as the previous version, now set out in 2 pages in stead of 1.
This was done without any consultation with the readers.

### 1/5 — The upgrade is rubbish

*2023-08-18*

Has 2 pages on the screen of my iPad when I turn it so the print is smaller to read unless you expand it.Zits comic strip only has 3 panels and we have lost all our other comics not happy.

### 1/5 — New app not made for iPad Pro and is useless

*2023-08-01*

On an iPad Pro there is more white space then content and the thumbnail image beside the headline is so small it’s not viewable.

Opening a news story takes forever and I’m running an M1 chip. Please bring back old App or I will be cancelling my paid subscription very soon.

Update: Due to an inadequate and a generic Cut & Paste response from the developer I will now be cancelling my paid subscription.

### 1/5 — Magnifier required

*2023-07-26*

After todays update, you have halved the size of the print, by putting two pages up at once, making it impossible to read without magnifying it and thereby having to move it around all the time.  Did nobody bother to actually check their work, by going further than the front page?  Apparently not. Please sort it out.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-08-17*

I’m very disappointed with the iPhone and iPad App. Articles have journalists name, but no time and date stamp. This a major issue as Covid-19 restrictions change so quickly, and it is impossible to tell if the information presented is current.
The App is currently displaying border bubble information that is outdated and misleading.

**Developer response:** Hi Cindy@103, thank you for taking the time to review our app, we're always looking for ways to improve our products and will take your views onboard.

### 2/5 — Hard too read online

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2022-10-19*
