Some issues…
10/25/2023

It appears that The Palm Beach Post has a new app that I was totally unaware of, why we weren’t informed of it is beyond me! I called the office because the former app was not working. I was eventually told that they learned that other customers were experiencing the same problem and it should be resolved within 24 hrs. That didn’t happen, but I did find a new app for them and found it working! Have been using it ever since. My only real complaint is that it appears VERY sensitive to touch causing it to go where I did not want it to go! Other than that, I am satisfied.

Even with a paid subscription, this app is inundated with invasive, annoying, advertisements continuously popping up each time you open it. I thought if I paid for a subscription, the advertisements would go away. Nope. Even on every individual article you click on, you are bombarded with annoying pop-ups which are either more advertisements, or a question about the app’s content. Instead of having a page with a simple list of headings I can click on, to choose which articles I wish to view, there’s always some invasive pop-up steering you towards what the PB Post wants you to view. I accidentally clicked on the live feed icon and video started playing immediately. It was loud and disruptive, since I was in an office environment, and the worst part is that the video wasn’t news. It was another advertisement, a typical television commercial. There was no way to stop the video. I ended up having to force close the app. The app’s entire UI is sloppy, cluttered and disorganized. I don’t recommend this app. It’s more annoying, than informative. There are much better, more informative local news apps out there for free.

New app not user friendly!

This new version of the Palm Beach post app is just awful! It’s not user friendly as as the previous blue app which doesn’t create the same enjoyable “reading the paper in the morning with a cup of coffee” experience as before. I used to be able to download the paper first thing in the morning just in case of a frequent fickle internet glitch by clicking on “download” and know it was downloaded . Now, even though the paper is supposed to download when the app is opened I don’t believe it is because when I’m offline, I’m only able to read the first few pages. Where’s the rest of it? The previous blue icon app saved my preferences so I could read it in the same format and font size I preferred without having to do that every day. Also, with the previous app I could click on Pages and go directly to that page. Now, it doesn’t. Maybe it’s just me not being able to enjoy reading the paper without frustration, even so, it should be an indicator of your app not being user friendly. The previous app wasn’t broken, didn’t need fixing but this new one sure does!

What is going on with this app! Six times in the last year I’ve had to change my password for the app as it’s telling me I’ve entered the wrong information, but it’s saved info and I could access through the web, or on my phone, but not my iPad. And now, again, the same thing. I can access through the app only on my phone, no issue with passwords or email. Both devices are up to date. Also, it doesn’t save my choices, each time I did open the app I was asked about which issue I wanted, if I wanted it downloaded, how many I wanted… just annoying. And, when this “lockout” occurs, it wants me to download the app…WHICH I ALREADY HAVE! Updating after receiving developer response: STILL HORRIBLE! No changes or improvements, in fact it’s worse. Pop up ads even with a paid subscription, tells me my password is still wrong, makes me do the bot test and then tells me my password is incorrect, asks me which version to download… etc. This app must have been constructed by school children as a project they ultimately received a D for.
