Ratings and Reviews
Terrible
New “upgrade” if that’s what it is is awful. App tells me I’m not a customer. Called the 800 number. They “reinstated “ my account. It’s almost impossible to navigate the app on iPad. Had this for many years. Don’t waste your time. I deleted the app thinking to reinstall may help. All it does when you go to the App Store is open the app. Does not appear on Home Screen.
Latest version of this app is a disaster
Unfortunately there is no way to select zero stars. I thought the previous version was a little clunky but useable. This latest version that I was required to download is horrible. Zooming and fit to screen of pages is not friendly and inconsistent. Browsing form page to page sometimes skips pages and makes them unreadable. Like the Sunday comics? Good luck in reading all pages.
Maybe some who actually reads a paper should be the one who designs and quality assurance of the app that gets published to the readership. The Providence Journal has destroyed the print version and now they are on their way to wrecking the digital also.
Gannet should be ashamed in what they have delivered.
Daily problems
Using this app to read the e-newspaper is less than ideal. Often, the tab function takes you to a random selection. I’ve had the entire thing freeze up on a blank page with none of the options working. And having ad pop-ups open before you are allowed to see the page is ridiculous—for a paid subscription. Layout is often messy, with the name on an obituary appearing below the copy.
I switched from the phone to iPad but that has its own issues—notably freezing up. Every day, I’m forced to abandon reading until on the third or fourth try, it unfreezes. So, so bad.
