Latest North East News

Timely and accurate reporting

BG App is atrocious!!!

Have paid subscription and app will not allow entry. Had the same problem awhile back—very little information as to why this still happens. Will cancel subscription if this continues.

Enjoy Globe

Retired to Fl, this keeps me in touch with my roots and teams.

The Best Sports Section

The Boston Globe has the best Sports Department in the country. Factual, opinionated, and smart. Most writers are informed and report what fans are interested in. Alex Spier, Dupont, Chad Finn, are an enjoyable read and the best in the department.

Best Sunday sports page in the US

I’ve read this paper for over 55 years. I have traveled all over the US for years and have been fortunate enough to have read a few sports pages in many different cities. The Globe by far is a definite five star in my mind. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

You people are unbelievable!

Excellent newspaper, a must read

Trusted Partner

I’ve been reading the globe for all of my remembered years. So, at 65 and with my familiar print version likely coming to an end, i am so, so happy to have the digital version on my iPad. Please never stop with a print version available for a tablet or phone. Also, please do not chintz on the first class reporting you are known for for 150 years

Quirky App

The Boston Globe digital subscription frequently fails to load the e-paper. Checking Restore Purchases doesn’t do anything and calling the Boston Globe directly is pointless, as the automated ‘assistant’ hangs up without allowing a live operator.

Fix this feature

Every time I open an article from a link, instead of taking me into the app, it makes that I’m paying for, it requires me to sign instead of taking me directly to the article inside the app that I’m paying for.

Woke nonsense

Great sportswriters as always.
However the rest of the paper is littered with opinionated and slanted writing with nonsense op-eds and editorials. I would cancel in a heartbeat without the local sports coverage.

72 years and counting

Been reading Globe Sports since I was eight, says this almost octogenarian. Still love Shaughnessy & Co.

Listen too

I love that you can listen to most of the articles. Now I can do a run and listen to the Globe! Yay. Much better than the NYTimes!

Let us share

Great journalism, but it’s too hard to share articles. Follow the NYT’s lead and allow unlimited sharing for subscribers or at least 15 articles per month!

A Privelage

It is indeed a privilege to have an excellent daily newspaper and the digital presentation is greatly appreciated.

Formatting still awful

Why on earth can you not fix the formatting and why did you make it so hard to read the comics? Wait, I know CORPORATE GREED

One Star

Epaper feature does not work

Needs Improvement

The home page is a scroll of huge pics making it hard to really see what’s going on. If you’re mid-article and you switch to another app and come back, it doesn’t save your place - you end up on the home page meaning you have to navigate back to the article (I got there from a notification so not sure where to find it), and then scroll down to where you left off. That’s just stupid. Give me the ability to config the layout of my home page and always bring me back to where I left off. Put new stuff at the top if you want me to see it, but this ruins my experience.

Doesn’t stay on article

When switching away from an article and back it doesn’t hold context and takes you to the first story on the app. Very poor quality control.

Bad UX / IT support

Good luck trying to send an article to someone from the app. They get a dead links
