You have to shutdown and reopen to continue to a new page. Frustrating and time consuming!, ### 4/5 — Great local paper *2024-06-06* I grew up reading the Patriot Ledger. The only resource I have for local news. I pay for a digital subscription but I still get pop up ads? USA Today is nice bonus. ### 2/5 — App is no good *2024-03-13, version 7.6.1* Works on Iphone not on iPad ( says wrong password) ### 5/5 — Useless *2023-05-02, version 7.0.4* Paid for it through Apple. Wouldn’t work for most articles,sure enough the charge hit my card,waste of time. Daniel ### 3/5 — Mediocre at best *2023-03-27, version 7.0.4* The app has difficulty identifying my subscription and so it prompts me to subscribe for a minute or two when clicking articles, before it starts functioning properly. There are some neat features but I don’t use them. On the news side, I am quite impressed at how the “paper” is on top of the local foodie seen. Lots of articles about local restaurants, then a major story breaks and there is no coverage on it. They do have access to a National news source but I can get that coverage anywhere. ### 5/5 — Great Newspaper *2023-02-17, version 7.0.3* I have reading the Patriot Ledger for over 50 years. I love the way the paper is formatted for an easy read. They do a great job Best newspaper around ### 1/5 — Miss leading *2023-01-26, version 7.0.1* You subscribe yet you can’t read many of the articles. Disappointed. ### 5/5 — Useless *2023-01-10, version 6.12.5* Paid for it through Apple. Wouldn’t work for most articles,sure enough the charge hit my card,waste of time. Daniel ### 5/5 — Patriot Ledger *2022-12-12, version 6.12.5* The best way to start abreast of news and events in the South Shore. ### 1/5 — No response from Customer Service *2022-12-07, version 6.12.5* I subscribed to the Patriot Ledger, but still can not read the subscriber articles. Two emails sent through portal have not received responses. I Tunes can not restore my purchase. Perhaps a one star review will draw attention. I’ll happily remove add more stars if I can get the news. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Paid subscription with ads????? *2024-07-24* I was recently forced to get the new version of The Patriot Ledger last week. I have a paid subscription. First, I couldn’t sign in but that mysteriously fixed itself. Now that I can see the newspaper, ads keep popping up. I don’t see any way to turn them off. This is disappointing. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2023-11-03, version 7.3.3* Every time I open it, it shows my name, shows I’m logged in and then when I try to open a story, it asks me to log in again. Very frustrating. ***tried to submit review and it said my name was already taken- again, can’t decide if I’m in or out. ### 1/5 — Subscription doesn’t work *2023-06-14, version 7.1.1* I am paying for the subscription and I can’t get in. I have written in and haven’t heard back. It directs me to restore my purchase but then it tells me that I can’t. Frustrated. ### 1/5 — Total rip-off *2023-05-29, version 7.1.1* Took my money for a subscription, but won’t let me access the content. Maybe some journalism should fail if this is how they do business. ### 1/5 — Problematic *2023-04-06, version 7.0.4* Terrible Why do I have to sign in for every article? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Updates. *2024-09-21* Thank you for sharing this story. ### 5/5 — Great paper *2024-09-08, version 7.12.0* Small paper but great stories ### 5/5 — Great local newspaper *2024-02-08, version 7.5.1* We enjoy reading online when in FL for the winter. ### 5/5 — Love the HS Sports! *2024-02-04, version 7.5.1* Great job! ### 5/5 — Local news A great source! *2024-01-13, version 7.5.1* Keep in touch with the local community ### 5/5 — Great local paper *2023-05-31, version 7.1.1* The Patriot Ledger has great writers, covers local events and covers all the news on the South Shore! ### 5/5 — Fantastic news *2023-05-16, version 7.1.1* Great service --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
