Update October 8, 2024: Was working better for a whole but can't get it to open today. Tried reinstalling but no luck. Will try again in a few days. 2023: Dropping down to 3 stars due to frequent failure to load. When it works, it's easy to navigate and the stories are of high quality. Would also prefer dark mode, though, to save battery life on my phone.

The reading experience leaves a bit to be desired. The worst is its progressive loading of content: it looks like an article just ends out of nowhere until you tap around in the blank space. Next is the frequent opening full webpages within the app instead of just the article content, but that has a tradeoff: won't use phone's dark mode, and I can't easily resize text, but the whole article loads, and I don't have to click around randomly without hitting an ad to get the next paragraph.

I'm new in Philadelphia. This app has been a huge help to me, especially in coronavirus times... introducing me to the city in a way I can't now do on foot. Inquirer is a fine paper, and the app makes it accessible. BUT, the method for emailing yourself an article is wildly erratic! Most of the time, there is no way for me get the URL of an article to keep... HELP! Android 8.1 phone, Firefox browser.

Articles are great, the main issue is that I can't always read them. The ads and photos load fine, but the text doesn't load until I press randomly near where the text should be. This often presses an ad instead, so that's incredibly annoying. I'm also not super fond of how many ads are put in the articles when I'm paying so much per month.

Decent app. Almost great. Reason for 4 instead of 5 stars: 1. Some notifications are dead links. They open the app but the article is not found. 2. Swiping through pictures is clunky. Sometimes the app will scroll up and down instead of moving to the next picture. It will also inadvertently click ads instead of going to the next picture. 3. Load time for articles is too long. Sometimes it's upwards of 10 seconds. 4. Clicking a notification results in the app opening with an article not found.

Good paper but the app isn't great. Each of my sports scores are displayed twice on the front page, which also buries the news. When reading articles it's easy to accidentally click on ads, and sometimes you have to wait for the text of an article to pop in between the ads. Not a great reading experience, especially considering how much you pay for the subscription. They should take a lesson from the Washington Post app.

This service is designed so it's hard to cancel. There are no emails sent prior to payments being collected and it every 28 days instead of monthly so it's hard to know when. The payment schedule is not available online. There is also no option to cancel without calling and they have pretty bad customer service hours for a company with no account details online. How hard is it to ad a cancel link to the website and app?? How hard is it to send a email prior to or even after a payment ?? 😕

Broken, since around the time of the most recent update. But who needed news on Election Day, anyhow? Are your developers aware that often no content will load?
