Circulation

Still no paper this am-10:35!!!!

Walker

How can Thompson?start this guy he is terrible if he was any good The Mets would’ve never gotten rid of him. I can’t believe he’s starting them against the Mets. It’s a loss you can count on that.

I love the Inquirer!

I subscribe to the Times and the Post, where I have frequently been outraged by the bias in their news reporting. In that context, I am constantly pleased with the news and editorial coverage that I get from the Inquirer. In particular, the Editorial page takes brave stands and “tells it like it isl” Bravo!

App works fine but why no gift articles?

It’s a nice app. Easy to use and to navigate. Please consider adding a gift article button. It would be nice if I could share some of these stories with others.

Love the day pass concept

Remember when you would just walk up to a news stand and buy a paper for a buck? Then you could read it and move on with life and not have to commit to a billing recurrence just to feel informed for one day? Let us buy day passes all the time! It actually feels like the correct way to sell news.

Deep Link

Why can’t I deep link into the app from inquirer articles posted in other apps/websites? Seems like a huge gap and really drops my usage of the platform.

5 Stars Just for Using App Store Subscriptions

If nothing else, I would give this app 5 stars for letting me subscribe (and unsubscribe) to the Inquirer through the App Store, which means I don’t have to call and fight with a retention specialist if I ever want to cancel. Fortunately, the app itself is fantastic to use. Performs well on iPhone and iPad, and has a great “full newspaper” view that lets you easily find articles you want to read and tap into them for a full page read.

Great

Quality programmed app

Great news, great incremental app improvements

Thank you for being my hometown rag, and stoked to see the dark mode setting in newer versions. I often read news in the dark so it’s a setting I enjoy.

Great paper

Way too many notifications

Unsub’ing. There’s no way to dial in what notifications you get. All or nothing and it’ll ping you all day with non-sense

App could use some tweaks

While the content is pretty good, I'm often met with floating table of contents that makes it annoying to deal with. I'm seriously contemplating canceling my subscription and sending the app. What good does this app provide if you can't actually use it?

Bit of a Mess

I had a previous subscription from kindle. It was simple to use. I could just read the paper from beginning to end. Now I feel like I’m endlessly having to arrow back to go forward. Many articles are repeated for several days and the amount of advertising is ridiculous. I will give it a few more weeks but will probably cancel, which is a shame because I love the Inquirer.
