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.

As a new premium digital subscriber, I have been very happy overall with all the features afforded to me. These features include a very nice, clean layout of the news in The Morning Call app, without ads. I also get the electronic version of the actual paper edition. The one big feature that I don’t think people realize this subscription gets them, is that it includes a whole bunch of newspapers nationwide with the same features as The Morning Call premium digital subscription. You use the same login information with the other newspapers that are included. With all this in mind, it really does provide value for the money spent. Here are the newspapers you get access to: West Marin Independent Journal East Bay Times The Mercury News Times-Standard The Orange County Register The Chico Enterprise-Record Lake County Record-Bee San Gabriel Valley Tribune Santa Cruz Sentinel Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Oroville Mercury-Register Pasadena Star-News Red Bluff Daily News Redlands Daily Facts The Press-Enterprise San Bernardino Sun Daily Breeze The Ukiah Daily Journal The Reporter Weekly Review Times-Herald Whittier Daily News Woodland Daily Democrat Los Angeles Daily News The Daily Camera Carson City Daily Record The Denver Post The Fort Morgan Times Greeley Tribune Times-Call Reporter-Herald Journal-Advocate Northeast Boston Herald Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise Lowell Sun The Trentonian The Daily Freeman The Saratogian The Troy Record Lansdale Reporter The Times Herald The Mercury Daily Times Daily Local News The Hartford Courant Daily Press The Virginian-Pilot Morning Call Oneida Daily Dispatch Nashoba Valley Voice Midwest The Macomb Daily Morning Sun Chicago Tribune Oakland Press TwinCities Pioneer Press The Morning Journal The News-Herald Southeast South Florida Sun Sentinel Orlando Sentinel

Recently, no articles will load on the app. Instead it only displays an error: “We are currently unable to load this content, try content on another section.”
