User Reviews

User reviews praise tablet access and some content quality, but the overall experience is soured by recurring login/subscription problems, a frustrating reading UI post-update, loss of landscape mode on iPad, intrusive ads, and missing features like games/puzzles. Key fixes would be improving login reliability, navigation, landscape support, ad management, and feature parity with the print edition to boost satisfaction.

Pros

Tablet/digital access to The Morning Call on iPad/tablet.
App stabilization after years of Beta performance.
Longstanding local coverage and informative, balanced reporting.
Evening Call provides broad national and international coverage.

Cons

Frequent login/subscription/account access problems; customers report being treated as non-subscribers or wait for support.
Cumbersome reading/navigation after the update: difficult to swipe, no page indicators, unreliable page view.
Removal of landscape orientation on iPad; portrait-only viewing hurts usability with a keyboard.
Ads and pop-ups clutter pages and disrupt reading experience.
Missing features (games/puzzles/comics) and e-newspaper access/printing restrictions; customer support issues.

Recent reviews

The obvious decline in editorial content and staff journalist is disheartening. Except for scanning the Obits and “Peanuts” all of the other reporting can be found elsewhere. There is no genuine editorial content exploring local issues. Restaurant and retail openings/closings dominate copy content. Sad demise of a once great local news source.

I love that I can read the Call on my tablet now. Sadly I can't play the games on my iPad or iPhone.

The app has finally stabilized after a number of years of Beta performance. It is really sad to see an historic quality local paper devolve into wireline regurgitation. No attempt to ever provide a balanced perspective. Just call it The Blue Dogma.
