The paper of record for Ireland
Best newspaper in Ireland
Could do better….
Guys,
The epaper to an expat is wonderful but…
1. Formats become stale, repetitive for too many years, stale out of date commentators who need recycling
2. Weekend review is jaded and needs a substantial overhaul
3. The business section is boring, lacks the type of analysis given to say the political section
4. In depth analysis, big read type content is lacking
The e paper technology is clunky, crashes regularity with difficulty getting through to get it fixed, get feedback when one complains to prevent reoccurrence.
You’re doing a great job but some spring cleaning required as your competition is getting better, your readers more demanding.

An umbilical cord to truth in the news…
There are times in our lives when we may not even be aware of what it is that we need for survival. In our mothers’ wombs, were we conscious of the miracles that were unfolding all around us, protecting us from a harsh outside environment until we were ready and able to breathe and think for ourselves?
Back then, time created a bridge of hope between our cocooned world and the real world, soon to open a passage to birth new horizons of life and hope.
Today, we still remain within a caul of unknowing. The spoken and written word hangs in the balance as each new day dawns and we weigh up all utterances, aspirations, threats and hopes to give colour to our thoughts and energy to our actions. Good or bad, kind or wicked, gentle or aggressive, peace or conflict, true or false? Who knows!
Thankfully, the Irish Times offers us an umbilical cord to truth in the news as a daily beacon of hope, a trusted interlocutor that shines a light in an otherwise darkening dawn. Let us walk towards the light as words are made flesh.

Comments on Irish Times
It would be useful to have more Northern/Northern Ireland news, not in terms of politics but social, economic and cultural issues ……to counterbalance a Dublincentric focus…. I expect the same could be said for Cork and Galway
My best pal.
The ePaper version is my best travelling companion. It keeps me fully informed with well-composed articles and well-informed stories no matter where I am in my travels. (The only exception is the Saturday edition which I try to acquire in “hard copy”, as it is a collector’s item and is probably the best newspaper in the whole wide world). Thank you for being such a good and reliable friend.

Epaper
Very disappointed. The epaper just won’t load. Have to delete and then download the app every couple of weeks.
Great Epaper
The site looks like a real newspaper and has great links and search features to find your article
Issues with downloading epaper
I love reading the Irish Times but consistently have problems downloading an epaper to my devices. Sometimes upgrading the device software works. Other times I have to delete and reinstall the app. Problem is mainly on iPads.
Home again
The quick and easy way to keep up with things gone back at home thank you
Great Times
What a wonderful paper is the Irish Times! Great columnists, great weekend reading for someone who left Ireland more than forty years ago!
Frustrating
I am a regular reader of the Irish Times. It is an excellent newspaper. I read it on my iPad Mini and use the epaper version. I find the App frustratingly glitchy - at least once a week the latest edition of the paper will not open and the only workaround is to delete and then re-load the App. I have reported this to the paper on a number if occasions but have never received any response beyond an acknowledgement. I have other newspaper Apps and mist work consistently better than the Irish Times App. Could do better!

Everything I need to be informed about is in the Irish Times
The Irish Times is an absolute gift and I’m so happy to be a subscriber. It covers the whole swathe of topics from an international and domestic perspective and it’s always thought provoking and trusted commentary. In a social media world gone completely crazy, I love my daily fix of news, reviews, opinions and would be bereft without it.
Thank you to all who write for this paper on a daily basis!

Best broad coverage
Excellent opinion pieces, good coverage of local and international news, lively arts pages and puzzles all make for a very worthwhile newspaper.
Intelligent informing
For over 60 years I have turned to the Irish Times to check on the realities of life. Politics, finance, current affairs over the decades, national and international saw me combing the pages for some rationale in hard times. Please carry on delivering!
Irish Times.
Always happy to read the Times for it has balanced and unbiased news and reporting is always up to date.Keep up the good work.
The Actual IT
I love the App. it feels the way a paper should, pages flicking past easily, articles easy to find, a very satisfying read
Epaper app
Hopeless app since the new makeover, although Irish times claimed the Epaper app had not changed. Invariably after a few days have to either reboot my iPad or reinstall the app. I have the latest iPad software. I previously had to move off my Samsung tablet because of a change in the app. I much preferred the paper edition and was a reluctant subscriber to the digital version when Irish times abandoned the print version in the Uk. My patience is running out.

Not happy
I signed up for a promotion where I pay $12 to be able to read the headlines of The Irish Times. I have contacted them twice complaining that I am unable to open any articles. I have been told that for $18 I would be able to access the epaper. I asked then what I was getting for my $12 subscription and again they just promoted the upgrade to $18. I clearly missed the fine print somewhere. This is quite a ripoff.

Irish Times epaper
Excellent clarity of text. The nearest thing to the real paper you can get when you read it on an Ipad. Much prefer it then regular IT app.
