Half-baked app
I really want to support my local newspaper, but this app is not great, and worst of all the only advertising they manage to attract is from Nigerian princes, weight loss “secrets,” and other scams. I wish the app’s support would addresss issues instead of just ignoring them.

Subscription with Ads?
I’m paying monthly for a subscription yet still get obnoxious full screen ads that take over the screen and article I’m reading. Really unfortunate. I won’t be renewing my subscription.

Out of date articles and BIG ADs
I’m really getting fed up with this app. First, while many articles land in the app days before appearing in the published newspaper; there are many “breaking” stories that don’t show up in the app. The inline adds are getting so big you can’t scroll the page without launching the ads webpage. Finally the video ads become so intrusive it’s not worth reading the story. I just close the app and go elsewhere.

Some articles don’t open
In the newspaper view, some articles do not open at all, or are very slow to open, with only a spinning circle appearing. Those same articles open fine on the website so it seems like an app problem.

Figure out you online access policies
For the 2nd time in the past 12 months I've subscribed to your online paper. And for the 2nd time I am unable to access any articles, as I'm told I've reached my limit of free access, even though I am logged in. This is incredibly frustrating. I am paying for access and can't access.

Love the Inquirer, but…
When will the “listen to article” feature be added to the app? Seems like a total miss. Why would I use the app if the convenience is on the website? As for the listen article feature on the website, for long articles, the page eventually refreshes, stopping the reader feature. And there’s no way to pick up where it left off. I hope you solve that glitch too. Keep up the good work making the news consumption experience better and better. From the high-quality writers to the improving app and website experience, it’s the reason why I keep my subscription.

The worst app
This app is an embarrassment to the once great paper. Frequently unresponsive. No wonder a subscription only costs $1.00 a month.

Consistency
The reliability of the e version is inconsistent. Everytime you have a software update there are problems.
