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.

Not a good as the old globe App

A few days after I stopped being able to open the globe app on my old iPad I contacted support and was advised that they were phasing out the globe app and I would have to use the e paper. I’m not impressed… pages often won’t slide over, sometimes they are blank. It’s glitchy, there is a little page icon blocking part of the articles. Why did you have to fix it… It wasn’t broken, actually compared to the Globe app that I gave up on in disgust 15 ? Years ago it was excellent (it would miss a few things but not crashing was a plus).
