User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for ease of use, reliable daily access, and strong local coverage with varied content. The redesign is a frequent source of frustration, especially around readability and navigation (smaller text, zoom issues, forced orientation or horizontal scrolling). Some report subscription/e-edition access problems and desire broader national/international news. Positive notes include fast performance, sharing capabilities, and the option to view comics and obituaries within one app.

Pros

Easy to use and responsive interface
Strong local news coverage with broad, varied content from home
Reliable daily access (7 days a week) and availability anytime
High-quality content and variety including comics, obituaries, and photos
Sharing features (send articles with comments and to others)

Cons

New format reduces readability: smaller text, harder to enlarge, and navigation requires horizontal scrolling or forced orientation
Subscription/e-edition access problems (unable to access e-edition despite payment; issues with email reading)
Perceived political bias in content
Limited national/international news coverage

Since I subscribed to Masslive and e edition last month I Cannnot get the e edition only the Masslive but I pay for both. $15 a month. Why. My iPad is only 3 years old. I’ve tried to App it but won’t work. MC

I hate the new format. The size of the articles are way too small for older eyes. It was much easier before you got new software. When the paper was brought up on screen you could hit the arrow on the top right corner and all pages were enlarged. Change is not always the best.
