Awesome Snapshot!

I love this app! Please, please, please do one for Sports pages!!! This is better than the state-by-state section in USA Today, an awesome snapshot of what is going on in America!

No pages from UK, ITALY, FRANCE

Great concept. Love the app. But has none of the newspapers that matter. Would not mind paying a small subscription to have access to the front page of Financial Times, Times of London, Corriere della Sera, Times of India, Hindustan Times etc.

How news presented everywhere

Being able to look at how newspaper bias affects news presentation is invaluable!

Using the Program

Great concept, but I can’t get the program to allow me to choose the papers I want to review daily without having to go through each day the entire portfolio of newspapers. As a result the program is of little value to me. If there are instructions as to how to do that, I can’t find them.

Fails half the time

While I appreciate the content, the app fails to provide it about half the time. Upon launch, the GUI just spins interminably without brining up any front pages. Adding insult to injury, the link to offer feedback doesn’t work.

Never loads right

Spins and spins trying to load 2 'sample' front pages at top of screen. Forever. In order to catch it right, must try several times, going out of, then back into app. Does not remember only 4 selected newspapers (star at bottom doesn't remember prior choices). YES I have removed and rebooted and reloaded SEVERAL TIMES. And just for the record, the ability of the new app to enlarge print is not nearly as good as the old one. But at least the old one didn't hang and spin. iOS 18.5, iPad a16.

Hi, you still have that ability to jump to the site. We’ve just cleaned up the design for better viewing experience in the app. Click the share icon, and you’ll be able to access the link to the site, as well as viewing high-def PDF and of course, sharing the front page with others.

Deleting then reinstalling app fixes it

It's April 14, 2025, but the front pages were dated March 2. Deleting and then reinstalling the app fixed the problem. Now all pages are current.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite way to check the news!

Love this app! It’s so cool to see front pages from all over in one place. The word cloud is a fun way to spot trending topics, and the interactive map makes it easy to browse newspapers by location. Plus, the widget is hands down my favorite—perfect for checking headlines at a glance.
If you’re into news, this app is a must-have!

Update slow

This app was solid on my iPhone until the update was done on the app and it got a new look. Takes forever to load newspapers and dumped all of my favorites. :/ I’ll continue to wait for app updates to fix this though, because I love the concept and I’ve been using it for years.

New version wonky and crashes frequently

I recognized that I’d need to get used to a new layout but the app doesn’t work.

After spending a while saving favorites, I’m now told that I have no favorites. After using map to find my favorites, the Donegal Times pops up repeatedly after I click on my choices. Then the app just crashes.

I hope they figure this out; I really liked this app and have recommended it to others. Now I can’t really use it.

Latest iteration is terrible

Search is comically slow (10+ seconds per query) and many of the titles that were formerly included seem to be missing

Yesterday’s News

The recent issues continue. First, it was having to rebuild all of my favorites and now, Since “upgrading” the app, the front pages are one or two days old, thus pointless to read. I have given this new version a couple of weeks but will now seek other sources of news. Perhaps I will check back in a month or so to see if they have gotten their act together.

Where is today?

Sitting here on a Tuesday morning, at 8:00 AM. Trying to read TODAY’S headlines and all I see is Monday’s headlines. Too slow updating the “New” app.

Update broke key features

The latest update erased all my saved favorites and broke the widget feature. Now, the widget on my iPhone screen is just a black space that can’t be clicked on. They need to release another update to fix these bugs.

Favorites erased, can’t re-add

Your latest update erased all my Favorites, and now I can’t add them. Using the map to find them, I click on each, but the image is always the Decatur Daily. Also, the Search doesn’t work anymore.

Can no longer save to Photos app

The only reason I have this app is to save front pages to the Photos app to use for digital scrapbooking. This option is gone in the new version, so the app is now useless to me. Bummer. Don’t like the new interface either.

Developer has responded that this feature will be added back to the app. I appreciate the fast response and am updating my review. I will update again once the “save to camera roll” feature is back. TY!

Thank you for your feedback. Our apologies that the “save to camera roll” from the previous version of the app was not included. Our developer is working on an update that will include that feature. We knew the change would not be an immediately welcome one to some but, we hope you will give it a chance as we improve performance and usability with future updates based on feedback like yours.
