### 3/5 — No pages from UK, ITALY, FRANCE

*2026-01-24, version 4.1.6*

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.

### 2/5 — Using the Program

*2025-09-11, version 4.1.2*

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.

### 2/5 — The WAS a favorite of mine…

*2025-02-17, version 4.0.9*

What a disaster!  Whoever made all these changes should be fired.

### 3/5 — Update slow

*2025-01-11, version 4.0.7*

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.

### 2/5 — Old app good

*2025-01-01, version 4.0.5*

New app bad

### 3/5 — New version wonky and crashes frequently

*2024-12-24, version 4.0.3*

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.

### 2/5 — Yesterday’s News

*2024-12-21, version 4.0.3*

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.

### 2/5 — Where is today?

*2024-12-17, version 4.0.3*

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.

### 3/5 — Can no longer save to Photos app

*2024-12-13, version 4.0.2*

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!

### 3/5 — Most recent update is a disappointment

*2024-12-13, version 4.0.2*

I love the app, recommend it to friends regularly. However I’m not sure what the purpose of the latest update is - first, it deleted my saved favorites, it’s more difficult to navigate within a page now, and it locks up constantly. And the new icon is ugly 😂. Fixing a problem that didn’t exist. Thanks. UPDATE: I appreciate the response from the developer and I understand that there will continue to be incremental updates to the product. After this latest point update (today is Dec. 13) there remain issues with zoom and scroll when viewing a front page. I still love the app 🙂

### 3/5 — Most recent update is a disappointment

### 2/5 — Save to Camera Roll not working

*2024-08-20, version 3.2.7*

App is stuck in an endless loop when trying to “Save to Camera Roll”.  It send me to my settings to give permission. I give permission, then it sends me to my settings again. I just want to save a page to my camera roll like the app used to do.

### 1/5 — Fails half the time

*2025-08-24, version 4.1.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Larry

*2025-08-05, version 4.1.1*

This use to be the first app of the day to open, BUT!! ever since their update its turned into junk. Someone needs to be shown the door.

### 1/5 — Never loads right

*2025-07-20, version 4.1.1*

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.

### 1/5 — 👎👎

*2025-01-01, version 4.0.5*

It doesn’t work like the old one it’s terrible

### 1/5 — Latest iteration is terrible

*2024-12-22, version 4.0.3*

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

### 1/5 — Update broke key features

*2024-12-15, version 4.0.3*

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.

### 1/5 — Favorites erased, can’t re-add

*2024-12-15, version 4.0.3*

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.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2024-12-10, version 4.0.1*

This used to be a great app to stay informed about headlines across the world. With the update, it has become unusable. Pages aren’t updated, the widget doesn’t work, links are broken. I recommend they bring back the old version

### 1/5 — A Diasaster

*2024-12-10, version 4.0.1*

This was a great ap that you could easily find the front page of virtually any newspaper in the world. Easy, breezy, informative.

But the update upset the cart and I can’t find anything.

What were they thinking?

### 1/5 — Horrible Update

*2024-12-06, version 4.0.0*

Most of the newspapers I followed are gone. Search is terrible. Completely unusable.

### 5/5 — Free?

*2026-08-06, version 4.1.11*

So far they haven’t sent a bill. Nice simple service.

### 5/5 — Awesome Snapshot!

*2026-05-22, version 4.1.11*

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!

### 5/5 — How news presented everywhere

*2025-11-19, version 4.1.5*

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

### 5/5 — Deleting then reinstalling app fixes it

*2025-04-14, version 4.1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite way to check the news!

*2025-02-06, version 4.0.9*

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!

### 5/5 — This app is fantastic!

*2024-12-05, version 4.0.0*

The new look of Today’s Front Pages is fantastic—sleek, modern, and so easy to use. It’s the perfect way to explore newspaper headlines from around the world. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Redesign is AMAZING!

*2024-12-05, version 4.0.0*

The new redesigned app is outstanding. Highly recommend, my favorite widget on my Home Screen is my local paper’s daily front page.

### 5/5 — Keeping up with current events across the country

*2024-08-12, version 3.2.7*

Viewing headlines from across the country helps me keep aware of different perspectives.

### 5/5 — A great site

*2024-05-10, version 3.2.6*

A great site

### 5/5 — Travel the universe, via HEADLINES!

*2023-12-25, version 3.2.6*

My very special pleasure each morn, is to surf the front pages across America and the world.  If I see a story that needs further attention, I go al World Wide Web on it.  This APP will expose you to the lives of others, in a way that is simplicity itself. 😀
