User Reviews

Users like the iPad access to local editions and early updates, but report persistent login/subscription problems, forced app migration issues, heavy ads, performance glitches, and readability/UI frustrations that undermine reliability.

Pros

Daily iPad access to local newspaper editions.
Early-morning availability of the latest editions.
Supports multiple papers (Courier Times, Intelligencer, USA Today) in the e-newspaper app.
Convenient to read the paper on a tablet (overall positive experience).

Cons

Frequent login/authentication issues and subscription re-prompting after migration to the new app.
Forced transition from older apps and defaulting to Courier Times without easy options to switch back.
Excessive ads and performance problems (freezes/crashes) during use.
Reading UI issues, including small text, limited font scaling, and awkward scrolling/width behavior.
Paid subscribers sometimes cannot access content or are asked to subscribe again.
