Login button not clickable

The app logged me out. When I tried to log back in the login button is not clickable. Even going to the account page in settings the login button is not clickable.

Useless on a Phone

Why anyone would want a replica of a printed paper on a phone or tablet is beyond me. It is impossible to read anything without scrolling all over the screen.

Recent update a mess

The September 2024 update has made the app nearly useless.

E-Paper vs Globe App

What a cluster. Purchased the epaper (apparently) on iPad yesterday. Had the full app on iPhone. iPhone said no subscription.
Why in gods name are two apps with same name in store. Why does company not recognize a purchase on one as a purchase of paper in either version?
Waste of 90 minutes search for solution with Apple Support.

A downgrade

I often find it difficult to access the Globe as I cannot make the previous day’s addition disappear. That was not a problem with the previous iteration of this app. Needs to be fixed.
