On the Democratic payroll
Always appreciate local news and the newspaper coverage in many of the states I’ve lived in. However, the Post and Courier is far too liberal and always pushing the democratic agenda. I think it’s an absolute shame and criminal that certain news outlets push an agenda to sway public opinion. It should be more neutral always showing both sides of the story. I strongly believe responsible news organizations should always stay neutral when it comes to politics.

Renewal
Paper is good but I find it harder and harder to renew each year. It used to be so simple.
Be a better app
Let me get this straight. I open your app. I am *excited* to read your article, because I am a person who believes in journalism, democracy, and mild personal enrichment on my lunch break. And what do you do? You shove me into a WEB VIEW. A little browser-within-a-browser, like a Russian nesting doll of disappointment.
And *then* — THEN — this app has the audacity, the *temerity*, to pop up a message accusing ME of running an adblocker. Sir. Ma'am. Mysterious Silicon Valley Entity. I didn't bring an adblocker to this fight. YOU brought a web view to an app fight. That's like inviting someone to dinner at your house and then getting mad they can smell the neighbor's barbecue.
Here's a thought — and I want you to sit with this — you already made an APP. You had ONE JOB. Put the words in the app. I'm not asking for much. I'm not asking you to whittle the article into my phone by hand using a tiny app-shaped chisel. Just... native text. On the native screen. Of the native app.
Instead I'm out here getting IP-blocked by my own iPhone like I'm trying to sneak into a speakeasy that *also* happens to be an NPR article about crop subsidies.
One star. And that star is only because zero stars would just be a blank space, and I refuse to give you the satisfaction of a web view joke *twice*.

E-Paper
E-Paper will not open. I get a “too many requests” on my iPad. This problem started 3 weeks ago.
Best
Best newspaper in Southeast-no fear of politicians etc-great editorials.
Grammar and spelling
Please edit more carefully.
Online Paper Becoming A Pain
Since forcing readers to access the paper two days a week, P&C now seems to be running out of bandwidth. We keep getting “Two Many Requests” error messages. If the point of the online edition was to save money, it’s unfortunately to the detriment of the users. I, for one, am fed up with this paper.

Log in and password system
Periodically stops working and the reset process is maddening
Great newspaper🩷
After being forced to switch to the new app, I was trying to be open-minded about the new app. It was slower and seemed less user friendly but I was trying to give it a chance. This morning, the new version doesn’t have the real estate section on it at all. So, I went to the old version for that information. What will I do next week when the old version is gone??

Tiny Pass on sign in
The App always wants to send an email to log in and when you click on the link in the email it takes you right back to the page you started at. Severe glitch . I’ve tried it about 20 times . Guess I’ll have to call someone cause I have already paid !!
Viral pop ups
App allowed virus pop up which tries to scare users that a virus has invaded. If the user hits the OK button a virus would be installed.
The Best
The P&C is a very good newspaper that remains relevant and essential. In particular, its investigative focus is outstanding, thoughtful, and timely. The paper’s editorial leadership demonstrates the crucial role of local news services in a time of social media that distorts the truth, maligns decency, and undermines community values. I do not always agree with its editorial positions, but I respect the rigorous effort to bring informed opinion to the public square.

Website is a nightmare
Always forgets your log in. Cancelation is impossible.
So any ads the function is impaired. No way to opt out of data mining. And I pay for this? The news coverage is good however.

Review
Too expensive, constantly having to log back in. Very user unfriendly

Good source
The Post & Courier helps me keep tabs on what is happening in the greater Charleston community and within our wonderful state of South Carolina. The journalists at the paper cover a wide scope of topics, delivering news, hometown tidbits, profiles of local leaders and of course in-depth analysis of chronic concerns such as flooding. Sometimes they are too “woke”, grandstanding a bit about extreme ideology, but I still enjoy reading the paper and value what it delivers.

Please fix
App gets stuck every time I use it, requiring a restart
User
Consistently terrible performance with constant unexpected shut downs or crashes on a new iPad using updated OS
Outstanding local journalism
The Post and Courier delivers daily local journalism at the highest level - far exceeding that found on most larger cities! And, this in a time when even the larger cities are scaling back.
Fix log in function
Log in function is annoying. App never remembers that I’m a member.
