Comments on The Boston Globe e-Paper for Android

★★★★☆ Dee Hallet · Sep 5, 2020
Update 9/5/20... Here we go again... article repeats itself every day... today page 47/103... HELP DESK article shows up... STOP! Not nearly having issues others have. BTW... Why does an old Trump-vs-Fiorina article keep showing up? Page 29 on 3/17, overrides Sanders article today when you're in article-per-page mode. 4/7/16 update - Trump-vs-Fiorina article, page 29, showing up AGAIN, how annoying!!! And again today, 6/21/16, page 28, overrides Campaign Notebook articles... enough already!!!
★★★★★ Frank Lowenstein · Feb 2, 2022
This Boston Globe app provides a visual representation of the actual newspaper. Articles are therefore prioritized and organized based on how they're shown in the paper, not based on your past interests or how popular they are. If you like having your editorials grouped at the end of the A section, or being able to flip to the sports section and read about the Sox, Bruins, Celtics, and Patriots all in one place, this is the app for you. If you want a customized feed, use the other Globe app!
★☆☆☆☆ Paul Cohen · Aug 19, 2022
The latest version (4/22) is a huge step backwards. The app takes a very long time to load, then downloading the daily edition (so it can be read offline) takes a very long time if it works at all. Globe: do better. Previous: The e-paper downloads ok, but if I go offline, (travel, no Wi-Fi, etc.), some pages load, some don't. Very disappointed with this app.
★★☆☆☆ Day Tripper · Mar 18, 2022
My advice: backup your version 5.3 somewhere. Woke up this morning to version 5.5. Immediately found it does not respect the selection of "fit vertically" on my Samsung S7 tablet, so each page has to be manually fit. No Buena. I went back to version 5.3 - which works perfectly on every device we own - and turned off autoupdate. [old review] Globe subscriber since '77, but the company may have finally reached the limit of my ability to tolerate incompetence. Running on a VZ GS4 with 5.0.1, fwiw, this ereader version rewards patience with a crash-fest. And for the short time it actually loads pages, it does so with all the speed of a TRS-80 (<=Google it) Yup, I may be done...
