New premium subscriber

As a new premium digital subscriber, I have been very happy overall with all the features afforded to me. These features include a very nice, clean layout of the news in The Morning Call app, without ads. I also get the electronic version of the actual paper edition. The one big feature that I don’t think people realize this subscription gets them, is that it includes a whole bunch of newspapers nationwide with the same features as The Morning Call premium digital subscription. You use the same login information with the other newspapers that are included. With all this in mind, it really does provide value for the money spent. Here are the newspapers you get access to:

Content Refuses to Load

Recently, no articles will load on the app. Instead it only displays an error: “We are currently unable to load this content, try content on another section.”

A newspaper?

The obvious decline in editorial content and staff journalist is disheartening. Except for scanning the Obits and “Peanuts” all of the other reporting can be found elsewhere. There is no genuine editorial content exploring local issues. Restaurant and retail openings/closings dominate copy content. Sad demise of a once great local news source.

Limited

I love that I can read the Call on my tablet now. Sadly I can't play the games on my iPad or iPhone.

Worthless news except for obituaries

The app has finally stabilized after a number of years of Beta performance. It is really sad to see an historic quality local paper devolve into wireline regurgitation. No attempt to ever provide a balanced perspective. Just call it The Blue Dogma.
