Leader-Post App Reviews

Ms

Very frustrating to use. The pop-up ads (that cause an error that reverts you to the homepage when you attempt to "x" out of them) are so obnoxious I deleted the app and will look to another source for local news. Please fix the usability of your app.

10 a month

Have to pay after 10 articles.

Very Disappointing

I pay $21/month for an online subscription to the Globe and Mail, so Im not afraid to pay for a news subscription, but I expect better value than the Leader-Post app provides. For $10/month, the app provides quick access to a "selection of news and information hand-picked for the app," which means 8 or so stories per day. Tapping on the sections button displays a variety of soft news sections. No local, national, world, etc. For a paid subscription, I expect access to all the papers content, not 8 or so articles a day. I cancelled immediately.

Videos dont work!

I like this app but every story that has a video to go with it doesnt play. Ill tap the video and a player will open but nothing happens. Ill tap the play button and still nothing... Please try and fix this! Thanks

Better off without

App keeps crashing or opens link to game app on iTunes.

Terrible App

Some articles are very out dated which leaves no credibility. See entertainment section that still reports on Enders Game...really?

Solid Ap

No bugs. Up to date and pertinent info.

Very good!

Very good app, had it for a couple years. No issues!

Sharp New look!!!

Love the new interface of this app!!

Poor

If your in the business of looking for readership, why make your news app so boring? and why did you remove the reader comments? it was far more interesting to read the views of the public, now I only have your poor grammar to entertain me. YouTube is better crap app deleted!

Good but no comics

Like the layout but there are no comics!

Pop up bottom and top menu is obstructing and distracting

The new layout is a nice change, but one step backward is the top/bottom nav menu behavior in the app. In the old one had to tap and toggle, now it pops up on its own as one swipes around the page. This is annoying and obstructs the top/bottom copy. I imagine the programmers thought they were saving a tap or two, but now its a permanent distraction. People dont typically toggle views that often, or leap around among the pages. Some might, most dont.

Lol

Went from bad to worse. My grammar school son could write a better app than this attempt. Uninstall.

Terrible update.

I used it like this app but I absolutely hate that there is a pop up every time I refresh the feed. Deleting the app.

How to make a bad app worse

Entire sections no longer update, and the news in others remains way stale. Requests for help and answers are ignored. All this and a pay wall, too. Horrible example of emedia.

Consistently poor writing & editing

I wouldnt pay for a subscription to this newspaper if it were five cents per month. Your editors are lazy and they wouldnt know proper spelling and grammar if it smacked them in the face! When Prince Charles visited Regina in 2005, there was a front page article so poorly written, at one point, it implied that Charles had been married to his maternal grandmother! What a disgrace! I hope he never saw it.

"Great Job" from Seattle, WA

I read the the Leaderpost multiple times every week and I live the new app! I delivered the LP when I was a kid and its great to see the update! I like the new design and for a first version, I think you hit a homerun! Gary Chupik (seattlecanadian) from Seattle!
