Login button not clickable The app logged me out. When I tried to log back in the login button is not clickable. Even going to the account page in settings the login button is not clickable.
Useless on a Phone Why anyone would want a replica of a printed paper on a phone or tablet is beyond me. It is impossible to read anything without scrolling all over the screen.
Recent update a mess The September 2024 update has made the app nearly useless.
E-Paper vs Globe App What a cluster. Purchased the epaper (apparently) on iPad yesterday. Had the full app on iPhone. iPhone said no subscription. Why in gods name are two apps with same name in store. Why does company not recognize a purchase on one as a purchase of paper in either version? Waste of 90 minutes search for solution with Apple Support.
A downgrade I often find it difficult to access the Globe as I cannot make the previous day’s addition disappear. That was not a problem with the previous iteration of this app. Needs to be fixed.
Not a good as the old globe App A few days after I stopped being able to open the globe app on my old iPad I contacted support and was advised that they were phasing out the globe app and I would have to use the e paper. I’m not impressed… pages often won’t slide over, sometimes they are blank. It’s glitchy, there is a little page icon blocking part of the articles. Why did you have to fix it… It wasn’t broken, actually compared to the Globe app that I gave up on in disgust 15 ? Years ago it was excellent (it would miss a few things but not crashing was a plus).
Problems with new update You can’t load the current edition without closing and reopening the app. The close button doesn’t work (iPad). The app support button in the App Store goes nowhere.
Great presentation ePaper looks terrific and works seamlessly. It’s like reading the physical paper — but much quicker.
You are idiots Disgraceful app. If you are older, this app is unworkable. Worse it is not handicap accessible. Shame on the Globe. You get your money every month but you shut the app off to people who pay. You steal from the elderly.

“The new version is a pain to use - I used to be able to read the newspaper and simply swipe left to advance.”
“Fix this, or do the wise thing and rollback to the prior release and get your money back from the developers who made this disaster”
“When that was phased out, I attempted to read their new web-based digital version on my laptop but found it difficult to navigate and not user-friendly.”

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
