Frustrating pop up ads
As a paying subscriber I’d expect to be able to read an article without an ad popping up and blocking the text, sometimes even opening up a different app, without my ever having clicked on it. As I scroll past ads they frequently open up and block the article. It’s a very poor user experience after paying to access the paper.
Can’t unsubscribe via app
They make you call and wait for a customer support rep in order to unsubscribe. It’s completely insane and a terrible customer experience.
Stop all the gambling ads!!
Horrible app. Nowadays half the stories are dports gambling ads. No way to ignore suppress or block them. Totally unusable. as a result. Worst app in the history of apps. If I could give it zero stars I would...
You would think they would have a better app
Lame app- craps out all the time, and so many “advertorials” that appear to be articles. Second rate for such a respected newspaper.
Does not handle certain wifi connections well
There are situations where I like to download a copy of the day’s paper and read it later in the day, perhaps in a setting where I don’t have a strong internet connection like an airplane or train. This app works well only if you only use it over a good, non captive portal ( hotel, airport, Starbucks ) type wifi connection. In other instances, it loads with no information showing because the app thinks you have wifi when you really don’t. I should ALWAYS be able to access ANY of my downloaded content when no internet connection is available.
Nuisance ads
I realize that advertising is important to journalism and fully agree with it. Some of the ads, especially today are extremely irritating because you can’t clear them. There should be some level of minimum requirements for ad placement. Again, ads are important. They serve a purpose, and they belong on the app. But there should be an easy way to exit an ad. If you don’t want to read it as opposed to the nuisance side that has a minimal Xbox next to the volume icon, and it fills the whole page and can’t be bypassed
TV
What happened to the tv listings ? I really miss them.
Sports betting ads ubiquitous!
I have subscribed to the Inky for decades and still support it and it’s journalism. But the app has become half sports betting promos. 10 ads or do at a time. Hard to find the good stuff amid all the awfulness.
Slow
Loads slow and scrolling is tough to do
Bad ad placement
I’ve had problems with missing sentences or photos in past articles too, but today I couldn’t even do the first question of the news quiz because a moving ad is perpetually in the way. Please hire some more UX experts who can actually QC the app.
