Ratings and Reviews
At the end and last page, cant go back to main screen, so lousy
Why can’t I return to the main screen after reading the end of the last page, the back key not functioning, went to App Store to reload and takes it back to same last page, also when it comes to a few pages on it takes a long time to open the next page , can’t do the giant crossword online, download the games app and giant crossword not there, also have to pay to play other games and can only play one crossword per day, we pay for the newspaper we can play all games, so why does the digital app game we have to pay again despite paying the subscriptions for the paper, unhappy customer
What’s happening at the Mercury?
My first beef is with the Comments section. Of late I have been getting the message “Comments failed to load. Please try again later”. Also, when comments are indicated for an article, as soon as I click on the article the comments disappear. Very frustrating!
Then, when I do respond to a comment, and it’s several comments from the top, the response can stay there as a PENDING for days sometimes. Obviously the adjudicator never looks below the top couple of comments. If this continues to occur I will cancel my subscription of five or six years! I’m not prone to wasting time in writing comments for them to never to see the light of day!
App upgrade disappointing
Disappointing upgrade and once again over engineered. Change for change sake. Why create unnecessary controls to navigate the paper when it eats away at screen real estate? Two year olds can swipe and is natural. The biggest issue is the low resolution pictures. Can’t believe it. What a backward step. It’s obvious the printed edition is on the way out and this upgrade doesn’t make the digital version much of an option. Access to more attractive papers is just a click away these days. Good luck holding readership.
