Comments on Raleigh News & Observer (N&O) for Android
★★★★☆Jon Mcvety· Dec 2, 2021
Great content but notifications on my phone about particular articles always dump me to the main site, making it frustrating to find what you were alerted about. If you send me a notification make the link point to the article, not the home page.
★★★★☆Kuanyu Chen· Apr 5, 2022
Simple, streamline new app. Not a lot of bells and whistles, and that's fine with me. One major grip about the app is that, the "share" capability only allow you to share the images of the news article, not a URL to the WWW version of the article. Please consider revise that feature. Thank you.
★★★★★Mark Swallow· Dec 23, 2021
The function to be able to select a story and have it open to be able to read the whole story is working again as of this morning! Thank you for addressing this!
★☆☆☆☆Paul Menchini· Dec 16, 2021
Unusable. Just read the site on the webpage or in the Google News app.
★☆☆☆☆Glenn Hennessee· Aug 8, 2021
Not as easy to use as the previous version. Email links to articles don't take you to the article, you have to search for it.
★☆☆☆☆Joel Gutman· Dec 20, 2021
This app just gets worse and worse. Have V9.1.5. Using a Samsung A7 tablet. Can no longer tap on an article and read the article in its entirety. Now have to scroll through paper to certain page in order to read full article. Also true if we try to read on our phones. Also in past some 3-4 paragraph wire service story in the hard copy paper would have longer story embedded online but can no longer read longer story since you can't tap on the story. All in all very poor app at this point.
★☆☆☆☆Patrick Sweeney· Jan 15, 2022
The app is not working. That's about all that need be written. The app icon is available, it accepts the touch, the words News & Observer appear, and I get to stare at interminable. Not what we're paying for.
