  1. [R5] The Philadelphia Inquirer 4/5 · US Love the Inquirer, but…: When will the “listen to article” feature be added to the app? Seems like a total miss. Why would I use the app if the convenience is on the website? As for the listen article feature on the website, for long articles, the page eventually refreshes, stopping the reader feature. And there’s no way to pick up where it left off. I hope you solve that glitch too. Keep up the
  2. [R14] The Philadelphia Inquirer 5/5 · US Recent update doesn’t allow landscape: I always loved this app but the recent app update no longer allows reading in landscape. This is very annoying when reading on an iPad as you have to turn the iPad around and stand it upright. This doesn’t work well with most iPad cases. Please allow both landscape and portrait.
  3. [R18] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US App works fine but why no gift articles?: It’s a nice app. Easy to use and to navigate. Please consider adding a gift article button. It would be nice if I could share some of these stories with others.
  4. [R23] The Philadelphia Inquirer 5/5 · US Excellent, in terms of content and ease of navigation.: I read the Inquirer and (mainly) the Daily News for Philadelphia sports news. It’s all there, everything from game results to stats to analysis and opinion. When the Phillies or Eagles make a roster change, that’s where I find out about it. Their three primary sports columnists each have their own style and are always enlightening. There are
  5. [R4] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Out of date articles and BIG ADs: I’m really getting fed up with this app. First, while many articles land in the app days before appearing in the published newspaper; there are many “breaking” stories that don’t show up in the app. The inline adds are getting so big you can’t scroll the page without launching the ads webpage. Finally the video ads become so intrusive it’s not worth reading th
  6. [R7] The Philadelphia Inquirer 2/5 · US Some articles don’t open: In the newspaper view, some articles do not open at all, or are very slow to open, with only a spinning circle appearing. Those same articles open fine on the website so it seems like an app problem.
  7. [R17] The Philadelphia Inquirer 4/5 · US Portrait mode only update?: I love reading the inquirer everyday on my iPad. But today, I noticed the app icon had changed from black to white. And now I can only use the app in portrait mode. It is much more difficult to read this way, and the stand on my case can’t hold it open that way. I didn’t mind that the price went up to almost $30/month, but that is a lot of money for a product that is
  8. [R6] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US 16 GBs?!: I love the app for news and viewing the paper but something needs to be fixed with the cache/storage. I don’t download papers and yet the app is still occupying 16 GBs of memory at present and it grows each time I use it. I end up having to constantly delete, redownload, and log back-in in order to use the app and my iPad in general. This has only been an issue in the last 3 months. Real
  9. [R9] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US Memory Hog: Love the app and paper but it currently is using 9gb of memory on my phone. Why? I am going to have to delete the app.
  10. [R10] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Figure out you online access policies: For the 2nd time in the past 12 months I've subscribed to your online paper. And for the 2nd time I am unable to access any articles, as I'm told I've reached my limit of free access, even though I am logged in. This is incredibly frustrating. I am paying for access and can't access.
  11. [R1] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Subscription with Ads?: I’m paying monthly for a subscription yet still get obnoxious full screen ads that take over the screen and article I’m reading. Really unfortunate. I won’t be renewing my subscription.
  12. [R3] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US Half-baked app: I really want to support my local newspaper, but this app is not great, and worst of all the only advertising they manage to attract is from Nigerian princes, weight loss “secrets,” and other scams. I wish the app’s support would addresss issues instead of just ignoring them.
  13. [R30] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US 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.
  14. [R42] 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
  15. [R40] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Awful update: New update will not rotate on my IPad. So I can’t read it easily. Not acceptable. I hate it. Might drop my subscription.
  16. [R43] The Philadelphia Inquirer 2/5 · US Portrait only: This app provides the content in a good fashion and I would give it a 4 except for one problem with the latest update. The app will only show itself on my iPad (purchased early 2025) in the portrait mode with the charging port down. This behavior is not present on other apps. When/if they fix it, I will change the rating.
  17. [R64] Philadelphia Eagles 1/5 · US Can’t Transfer Tickets: Couldn’t transfer tickets via email. Customer Service texted the tickets. However Eagles app does not indicate they were claimed ?
  18. [R74] Philadelphia Eagles 1/5 · US Terrible: Always an issue logging on. First the app had to be linked to ticket master now it wants you to link it with the NFL.
  19. [R76] Philadelphia Eagles 1/5 · US App doesn’t recognize my password: My app retains my credentials at all times. Unless I am at the stadium . I know my password but it doesn’t work
  20. [R80] Philadelphia Eagles 1/5 · US Ticket linking lost my tickets: I was asked by your app to link to Ticketmaster and use same login. When I did that my tickets for the Bears game in November didn’t show up in Ticketmaster app. Might not be your fault but you encouraged me to lmk them and that’s when the tickets went missing
