| 2024-11-30 |  | | Latest update or the backend now requires you to sign in everyday. If this is such an issue then make biometrics sign in available. No other newspapers that I subscribe to require this. Really poor after you have cut back print |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | This most recent app update frequently asks me for sign in credentials. Maddening. |
| 2023-10-14 |  | | Pages don't update regularly; may see the same headlines for a few days. Search function for FWISD only pulls two results. When I click on a link to read an article, it opens a blank page - happens on several links. Currently running Google Pixel 8- same issues existed on my last phone |
| 2022-08-28 |  | | Latest version of the app won't allow logon with Google "because this app doesn’t comply with Google’s secure browsers policy." I honestly don't think that the developers know what they are doing. I am uninstalling the app and reverting to using my browser, which is much faster and avoids all the issues experienced in the app. ========Previous=Review=⭐⭐======== Extremely slow to load (2-5 minutes) when opening on my Samsung Galaxy S21. Please fix! |
| 2022-07-09 |  | | Fix it so I can share articles, I tried sharing one to a app on the list and it just sent the image not the article, just let me copy links edit: from feedback, so I can only share entire pages from the paper via e edition!? also it still doesnt have a copy link which is the only useful share button... |
| 2022-03-30 |  | | Needs a lot of improvements, but the most basic one is when I tap on a notification that the app gave me, it would be really helpful to go directly to the story referenced in the notification rather than opening to the home page of the app. It is also painful to find stories at times...just not a well organized app experience. |
| 2022-01-28 |  | | App won't even open. I Uninstalled and reinstalled and still will not open. I get notifications and they will only open if I choose the browser one. The app ones do not open. - Issue resolved |
| 2022-01-23 |  | | The app asks for my preferences but then won't actually go to the newspaper. Very frustrating. |
| 2021-12-15 |  | | You cannot search for articles you can only read what they push or that days edition. I have a subscription but on the website when I pull up the article it wants me to log in, then when I log in it pushes me to the home page and I have to research for the article cue repeat. Thought I could solve this with the app, but I cannot search for the article I want to read. |
| 2021-10-10 |  | | Subs. to print and digital. Carrier very professional, cust. service/billing not at all. Long-term subscriber & recently had payment taken from bank account for nearly double my subscription price & ZERO WARNING OF IT. Live on a tight budget & this caused me to have overdraft fees. Not my fault/problem if others couldn't negotiate better rates. Canc subscript & was told could take up to 10 bus days for the refund WHY??, when only took two days to take it out 🤬 Half time digital didn't work too |
