  • What was the Globe thinking?

    I used to enjoy reading the Globe epaper because it was formatted just like its regular newspaper, Not like its regular website version. This “new” version of the epaper is impossible to read. It is formatted in such a way that no matter which way I attempt to read it on my IPad, vertical or horizontal, the print is soooo SMALL that you would need a magnifying glass to do so. Also, I have noticed that in scrolling from one page to the next, one page may be connected half of another, so you are looking at 1 1/2 pages at once. Also, there didn’t seem to be any way to enlarge the print manually. Redo this app for the epaper ! It should be formatted to present the paper as a regular newspaper- showing one page at a time, and with the print large enough to read it. Disgusting! I’m going to delete this app.

  • Latest update makes the Globe app look 30 years old

    Just updated on April 4th, 2024 and now the app just has small text headlines with tiny pictures. This is a terrible UI. What were they thinking?

  • The latest update has made it unreadable on the iPad

    The latest update has made the print too small for the ipad and the paper doesn’t paginate correctly making the print too small to read. The previous version was much better. Please revert to the old version for the iPad.

    The app was broken for months. What took so long?

  • Recent 6.1.2 update created font issues

    Font sizes are stuck in largest font size and won’t “save” for all articles in just released 6.1.2. Before I could set the font size that applied for all articles and all epapers. Now we need to set the font for every article. iPad Air 3rd generation on iOS 17.4.1

    Very disappointed in the new version of the Boston Globe App. I was completely satisfied with how the previous version presented the newspaper to me. I was able to more easily download articles and puzzles. How can I revert back to the old version of the app? I don’t need to to see 2 pages at a time. Frank

  • It’s great

    Personally, I like that it looks like the old paper version. It was glitchy at first, but either I’ve learned how it works or they fixed it. I like that I can see previous editions and I can download editions as I want to.

    I can’t believe I am paying for this! I have to delete app and reload consistently. Searching and refreshing constantly to get today’s edition. Fix it will you please.

  • Poor quality

    This app is so bad that I’m considering cancelling my subscription to the globe newspaper. There are several issues, including a back button that rarely works (you need this to exit from reading a story once you’ve clicked on it) and inconsistent downloads. There have been no updates for a year so this tells me the app is not a priority for the newspaper company. The issues I’ve seen are in iPad mini. On Android, things are just as bad. In that framework, most stories cannot be opened by clicking on them and you have to zoom in to read them, following the links to where the story continues manually. These are all ongoing issues.

  • Basics ignored

    How long does it take to fix images not showing the Home Screen of each days front page??? Been like this for years. No tap safe area in pages is frustrating trying to go to sections. Feels like someone wrote this years ago then laid off the devs.
