New edition. No. Std times

Please stop sending your new edition, it comes zoomed and if you get it to work it goes to the bottom of the next page when you turn pages.

New format terrible

Impossible to bring up full page view & only will sit on only half the display area on iPad. I am leaving the old app on my phone

New format is hard to use

When I read the paper I like to use e-newspaper, but it continually locks up and frozen!
The other format choices are not in clear understandable layouts
I used to like the paper and have been a subscriber for over 30 years.
And I continue to pay my subscription to read the e paper.

But unless this changes and works better I will be forced to drop my subscription

I’m a subscriber ( but not for long). This publication is crap.
The same news stories reappear throughout the week.Sports section is the worse. The FREE app they offer online is just as good ( bad) .If you want informative, up to date news, this isn’t the publication to read.

Format change.

Did anyone think someone would be using a Ipad. Very difficult to use. Bring back old format.

Does not allow you to see news first

This app seems to assume that all people really want to read is the sports. It should allow you to default initially to the news page

Still Sub Standard

Wont be renewing. Same stories every day. Not at all like the paper publication…I used to enjoy the E PAPER. but I cant access it anymore. I will stick with the Globe.

Local newspapers are important.

In a world of instant communication, it remains vitally important for local news to be reported in a timely way.
The Southcoast needs a daily newspaper, and we’ve been fortunate to have had the Standard-Times for generations.
Let’s keep it in business!

Awful Job

I received the same exact email for weeks with the same headline. You have failed the Southcoast and let tabloids become the main news source. Shame.

Online access

Online access as a subscriber is non existent. System crashes without allowing online access. Even with the app installed.

Crappy App Crashes on opening

I don’t know what is crappier, this app that does nothing but crash or the Standard Times print version that is not even worthy of being placed on the bottom of a bird cage.
