Comments on Boston.com for Android

★★★★★ Delfino Rodriguez · May 28, 2020

It is a very, very useful app. If you are interested in Boston and New England's life stereotype, news, travels, sport, political, etc., then it is your app. Enjoy Boston's life!

★★★★☆ Catherine Strong · Sep 13, 2017

Get good local news so what more do I want... App works well every time

★★★★★ James T · Nov 5, 2023

Outstanding headlines.... reporting is good for free web news site

★★★★☆ A Google user · Jan 2, 2019

Being an out-of-state Bostonian it is great to read home news

★☆☆☆☆ A Google user · Feb 8, 2018

Doesn't give you full article. First paragraph or two then link to pay to read full article.

★☆☆☆☆ Ron Rudis · Sep 22, 2021

App stopped updating content as of 9/16/21.

★☆☆☆☆ Deborah Beane · Oct 25, 2024

The app hasn't updated or changed stories in 4+ days. I've tried updating it, reloading and it's still frozen. Unlikely I'll keep it if it stays like this.

★☆☆☆☆ Dawn Bentley · Apr 9, 2018

2017 - Now all the "top stories" are sports-related and there's less and less relevant news. Probably going to quit using this app. 2016 - Slower, harder to navigate, opens browser for stories instead of staying self-contained. At least please add a sideswipe to the next story like every other news app has.
