What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 50 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

  1. [R7] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US iPad use: Difficult to read on iPad. Have to read comics one at a time for example. Where do you people get your ideas for so called improvements? I,m done with your unfriendly updates. You even make it difficult to send a comment.
  2. [R8] The Philadelphia Inquirer 5/5 · US Essential!: A must have to keep up with Inquirer coverage! The updates are timely and there is still the option to read the Inquirer of school with the paper facsimile- perfect!
  3. [R10] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Ad for ipad: They faced out the replica edition with no notice and now this app doesn’t size to an ipad screen. Could they antagonize subscribers any more!
  4. [R15] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US Sufficient app for Inquirer: I can’t allow notifications. App works reasonably well. Would like the morning newsletter (and others) as a notification and links from Twitter, email, etc to open in app. Works reasonably well though for reading new articles. No issues logging in with my account. Long term I hope they learn to use the app better for big, significant pieces. Would be nice to follow sp
  5. [R3] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US App suddenly closes repeatedly: The Inquirer app has had all kinds of issues over the years but, with one exception, is much better than it used to be. But at least once every day while reading the digital Inquirer, the add just suddenly closes and I have to re-open it (and it reopens at the first page rather than my prior location). This happens at least once every day and still happens after I u
  6. [R5] The Philadelphia Inquirer 4/5 · US Hard to navigate: Trying to read the newspaper online is challenging. You start reading in the newspaper format and scrolling through pages. Suddenly you can’t scroll and have to advance the page with a click in the upper right corner. Then suddenly the newspaper format changes and there is no obvious way to switch back.
  7. [R1] The Philadelphia Inquirer 2/5 · US Good paper. Bad app.: The Inquirer is an important regional paper that does high quality investigative reporting. Unfortunately the app is really poor. Much of the time the pages won’t load or will load extremely slowly such that I don’t get to read the paper. The other two newspapers to which I subscribe very rarely have such problems. They need to fix this.
  8. [R4] The Philadelphia Inquirer 2/5 · US Glitchy App: The Inquirer app is at best a 2 star app given the number of glitches the user experiences on a weekly basis. Most of the glitches are related to opening the story to read, which doesn’t work once or twice a week.
  9. [R9] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US I love the inky but the app is buggy: The app is pretty, but it crashes all the time and articles take forever to load. Please fix!
  10. [R12] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US Sneaky Ads: Ads within the articles are extremely sensitive and when the reader attempts to scroll through, they accidentally open the adds. In addition, many of the adds are sized in a way that you cannot scroll past without touching them. Super distracting to be reading an article and have to jump back and forth from an ad that “accidentally” opens in a browser. Seems like they’ve done this on p
  11. [R16] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Too many nags: Nag me to turn on notifications every week. Nag me to write a review. Fine here’s you’re one star review.
  12. [R21] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Can’t read articles: I don’t need to subscribe to another thing. Would be nice to read news articles without having to pay for it.
  13. [R33] The Philadelphia Inquirer 2/5 · US Bad business practices...see enclosed...: Digital Subscription Purchased a one year digital subscription as a Father’s Day gift. There was no way to activate the subscription on our side. Took us nearly three weeks of phone calls with the inquire to activate the subscription. Advertisements Entire reason for the subscription was to remove the advertisements from the service, in addition to acces
  14. [R29] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US The Inquirer has intentionally made it impossible to cancel your subscription: This is a serious warning: they will not let you cancel your subscription. There is no way to cancel, other than to call a particular number. Yes, in 2021, there is no way to cancel online.If you manage to get through to a customer service agent, they will tell you that they are not the one that can help you and pass yo
  15. [R48] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Don’t bother: Doesn’t work reliably. Two editions imposed on each other. Now happening more than 50% of days. Tech Dept has been “fixing” for more than a month.
  16. [R49] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Fix this problem!: For several months now when I open the Inquirer there is a second newspaper overlayed over the top half of the page. Why hasn’t this been corrected? I reported it several months ago.
  17. [R40] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Paid for app - now they want a subscription.: Years ago I purchased this app back when there was a one time charge. Now I’m being informed I need to subscribe in order to read more than a certain number of articles.
  18. [R46] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Website limited clicks before required to pay: The actual website requires payment. Not worth it. Other options available. Google search the article name and readi it some where else that doesn’t charge.
