It’s usable. I like the full page view, to remind myself that it’s a newspaper, though I mostly enlarge to read. However, while reading on an iPad Mini is much better than reading on a phone, it’s not great. I have discovered a workaround to get the current day’s paper, but that daily task should be easier. (BTW, I am a paid subscriber.)

Keeps me up to date of my hometown

Updated to 6.1.4 but article text font size still stuck in largest size. I need to adjust font size in each article I read. Font size adjustment is not saved throughout the paper. The “Save” selection does not work. iPad Air Gen 3 iOS 17.6

The app often hangs up and fails to open. Too bad because the newspaper, itself, is great.

I can’t tell you how much I HATE the new ads peppering the epaper. I read the Globe every day and like most loyal newspaper readers today I’m a senior. The sudden inclusion of multiple moving, shaking and blinking ads in almost every article are rendering it almost unreadable. Stop it! Now!

Is terrible….

Come on Boston Globe, please fix the app or at least bring back the old one. The e_paper option is often unreadable. I switched to digital when the Globe stopped delivering my subscription. I get the sense that they just don’t care.

Latest update has made it much more cumbersome to turn pages. The arrows that used to be on the left and right margins have been eliminated, so if the swipe-left action doesn’t work, which happens frequently, it usually takes multiple tries to flip to the next page. I’m not the only one to have this problem. Please correct this bug and issue an update.

I used to enjoy reading the Globe epaper because it was formatted just like its regular newspaper, Not like its regular website version. This “new” version of the epaper is impossible to read. It is formatted in such a way that no matter which way I attempt to read it on my IPad, vertical or horizontal, the print is soooo SMALL that you would need a magnifying glass to do so. Also, I have noticed that in scrolling from one page to the next, one page may be connected half of another, so you are looking at 1 1/2 pages at once. Also, there didn’t seem to be any way to enlarge the print manually. Redo this app for the epaper ! It should be formatted to present the paper as a regular newspaper- showing one page at a time, and with the print large enough to read it. Disgusting! I’m going to delete this app.

Just updated on April 4th, 2024 and now the app just has small text headlines with tiny pictures. This is a terrible UI. What were they thinking?
