### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-02, version 8.9.0*

Long time reader. This news paper is very informative  very up to dates.  Photos of the past are a great trip to the past, we have enjoyed this paper for many years and look forward to its delivery every week

### 1/5 — Can’t open online paper

*2026-03-18, version 8.9.0*

The app says I’m not a subscriber but I just paid for a year subscription. Frustrating,,,

### 1/5 — Stop changing format !

*2026-03-16, version 8.5.2*

Go back to your old version! I

### 1/5 — Stop changing format !

*2025-09-30, version 8.5.4*

Go back to your old version!  I

### 5/5 — News

*2025-07-27, version 8.1.0*

Love how I can read the regular paper slowly scanning and then click the article and it takes me to the larger version. Not too happy with all the spelling errors and punctuation. But it is what it is.

### 5/5 — Updates.

*2025-07-18, version 8.1.0*

Thank you for sharing this story.

### 1/5 — Irritating at best.

*2025-05-31, version 7.11.2*

I’ve subscribed to the Patriot Ledger for close to 50 years. The national coverage is unimportant; it’s the local news that keeps me paying. Although this has pretty much reached a low point, it still fills a big void south of Boston.

So, it’s not the content that makes this app so bad. It’s the app itself. These are my major gripes:

1. Pop up ads. Paying customers should not have to deal with these. Make the companies buy space in the publication rather than get in the faces of people who have paid money for the app.

2. Poor navigation. Sizing and page selection work poorly. 

3. Device support. My older iPad fails to load the paper about once per week. I am forced to uninstall the app and reinstall. I occasionally get a message that there’s a newer version but it is not supported on my device. This should be their problem, not mine.

4. Non-intuitive functions. Example : I still can’t figure out how to retrieve back issues. 

There’s a lot more than this but I’ve said enough.

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2025-03-22, version 8.1.0*

Trouble

### 2/5 — Online paper isn’t good.

*2024-11-14*

The online version freezes frequently when the blue arrows are tapped to go to a new page. You have to shutdown and reopen to continue to a new page. Frustrating and time consuming!,

### 5/5 — Updates.

*2024-09-21*

Thank you for sharing this story.
