    I recently started a digital subscription. Downloaded this app as it is supposed to be the “new” app for the Boston Globe. I was surprised once I opened the app that I was presented with very few articles that were not representative of the day’s print paper. The next morning I received multiple emails from different sections of the Globe with links to articles that would open in the app but appeared nowhere in the app menus. This is a terrible experience and readers should not have to sift through lists of daily emails to find an article to read. I have already unsubscribed from the emails and reverted to the older e-paper app.

  • It’s substandard

    It’s just not a very well constructed app. For a paper like the Globe, it deserves to be better.

  • Regarding the app…

    1st complaint: leaving an article and then returning to it - either to look something up or to pause and come back later - always drops back to the beginning of the article rather than the previous place read. Truly frustrating to have to scroll back to find your place, especially as I tend to read articles in bits and pieces as I find time throughout my day. 2nd complaint: ads click far too easily. I frequently accidentally click ads as I scroll through an article. I know you’ve got to pay the bills but they are an absolute imposition.

  • No way to cancel from app

    You can’t cancel or pause your subscription from the app you have to call during business hours. Why. Just make a button. You’re not going to compete with tweeter with this kind of behavior

  • This is the worst news site experience

    It is so much harder to use the Globe app than it used to be. If an article starts on one page and finishes in another you have to manually find the continuation, rather than following a link. You can open the article, which then makes it continuous, but if you try scrolling, that way you get the same article over and over again. The worst part is that moving ads appear every paragraph or so. It makes it almost impossible to read in the reader mode. I pay a lot of money to subscribe. I should NOT have to contend with ads. I guess it’s time to cancel - bye!

  • Downgraded app

    The app used to take me to top of the article when I click on upper corner. When I click back it takes me back to home page if I read an article for too long. Disappointing as NYT, WSJ don’t. And Globe is a paper that I never share with non-subscribers as I can only share 1 free article within 90 days period.

  • Fake News

    Boston Globe continues with it biased reporting.

  • Too easy to click ads

    Every time I use the app I inadvertently open an ad, usually several times. It’s often hard to get back to the article. I’m sure it’s helping the click through rate, but it’s no way to treat a paying customer

  • Global Disappointment

    I’ve subscribed for years and want to support free press. But the latest digital layout is unappealing and difficult to use. Too much emphasis on sports and too little intelligent reporting on politics, arts, and culture. Democracy was in question during the last election, and the Globe headlines were about the Celtics. The same stories sit there for weeks. I’ll take The NY Times instead.

  • Article refresh issue

    Great content and solid app, with one very annoying aspect — every time I lock my screen midway through an article, or briefly switch to another app, the article refreshes to the top of the page. The previous version of the Globe app — and every other news app I enjoy (WSJ, Atlantic, NYT etc) — does not have this problem. Please, please fix it!
