Comments on The Charlotte Observer | News for Android

★★★★☆ Timothy Lawrence · Dec 6, 2021

This is a 4-Star App for two reasons: it has some small bugs (which are being worked on by the team seen as replies) and delivers local news. It is an easy way to read articles from the Observer on a variety of devices. Notifications still fail to open the article. I would ask that on some level that audio playback of the articles be added. Either with an API to hook the Google Assistant or through your own text-to-audio implementation, so I can listen to articles in the background. Thank you!

★★★★☆ R. Watts · Jul 21, 2020

A good newspaper Android app, most especially for the Charlotte-Mecklinburg urban and suburban area! Keep adding features and improving this The Charlotte Observer Android app, McClatchy! Itz as good as any paper's app for Android in the entire country! -------------Aethelwulf A.W. Stark.

★☆☆☆☆ Dave Willard · Aug 21, 2021

Ever since the last update on August 16 the app will not open. All I get is a white page with the blue words "the Charlotte observer ". Your single robotic response to all complaints is no help at all. Fix the damn app.

★★☆☆☆ Douglas Lawson · Sep 25, 2025

Glitchy unsatisfying experience. I recently re-subscribed to the Observer. This app is how I will read it. When clicking on the daily edition, more often than not, this app freezes up. Annoying.

★☆☆☆☆ Lee King · May 14, 2022

Notifications for articles don't link to the articles ... clicking an article notification simply opens the app.
