Reviews

Will not open from notifications

My notification window gets flooded with notifications from the N & O.However, when I tap one to read more, the app fails to load. I have to leave that screen, close and re-open the app. Even more frustrating, the organization of the site is such that it is often difficult to find the article for which I received a notification. He seem to be basic features for a news application. Do better please, N&O.

Loading articles from notifications SLOW

When I get a notification for an article in iOS, the app opens but it takes a long time for the article to load. I get a spinning “loading”. It’s not because of my internet speed.

Broke

App has not loaded content for two weeks. Emails to N&O continue to be unanswered.

Does not work, do not use this app

The worst app I have had on an iPhone in 10 years. It’s simply does not work. The News and Observer is unresponsive to emails or to the multitude of 1 and 2 star reviews stating the same problem. I don’t think I have ever written a review for an app before, but if this review prevents someone from the frustration of using this app, or the N&O takes notice, than I am glad. This is a terrible app that does not work, please do not download it, rather read the paper via a browser on your phone, tablet or computer.

new version still doesn’t work!

The new version of this app came out three months ago, and it still doesn’t work. Tapping through from a notification to a story doesn’t work reliably, and even if it does, it takes forever. I’ve talked to support and followed their instructions through three or four rounds of emails only to be told what I already know: there are big bugs in this version, so wait. This version was not ready for prime time, and yet we keep getting told to wait for the next version, which doesn’t seem to be coming. Time to get it together, N&O!

It says the same thing. It says the same thing.

The app has a lot of the same stories repeated over and over in different sections. If it’s going to rain tomorrow, you’ll see the same rain story in Latest News, Weather, Traffic, and probably Sports. And speaking of weather, telling me “flooding gets worse after hurricane” a month after the hurricane really isn’t news by that point, is it? I guess it’s copy and paste for McClatchy. I guess it’s copy and paste for McClatchy. I guess it’s copy and paste for McClatchy.

Buggy as all get out

The app keeps pulling me back to the Home Screen, mid sentence. Can’t even finish the article. I’ve paid for this service and I can’t even enjoy it. Miserable. Also, no in app search function.

Notifications do not work

Anytime I click on a notification to look at the story there is a good chance it will just load for like five minutes and then freeze out, I like the coverage but the app need a lot of work.

Terrible App

I have cleared the cache, uninstalled, reinstalled and still can’t get stories on the Home Screen to load. Trying to get stories to load online nenas I have to login to each and every story, for some reason the website doesn’t retain my subscription information. I am asking myself whether or not I really need this subscription.

Crash & Freeze

All of the complaints to this “new” update are accurate… In addition, tonight the app froze and wouldn’t scroll or allow to force closes e by swiping up… and somehow managed to not allow the phone to enter Sleep mode - requiring a hard reset of the phone. Ridiculous. The content is bad enough, the multiple feeds for the same story stupid, the inability to load an article from a NO-tification confounding… why can’t I read the time or see any of the native top of screen items: cellular signal strength, WiFi strength, battery percentage, time?… but now, I have to hard reset the phone too??? Ridiculous. You should be ashamed. After 23 years from paper edition to digital, this is it. I will not renew my subscription.
