Reviews: What People Think About The Boston Globe
Newbostonian
Rating: 3/5
I’m subscribed digitally, and I often read an article from a link received in an email from the Globe. Sometimes the link goes to a browser, sometimes it goes to the app.
It’s not always easy to switch to the app, which is what I would prefer, but most of the time I can read what I want to read.
Not today with the Covid history in MA article.
The link from the home page in the app doesn’t work, and when arrive at it from other ways of searching, it constantly refresh, and I either lose the video embedded - it happened several times - or lose my reading position in the article, and even lose access to the entire article and need to start the search again.
I am giving 3 stars because it is usuathis bad

I am embarrassed how poorly your search engine finds articles. Even with two words of a known headline it can turn up no results or it’s 2 screens down. And one great example was that you changed the headline and it took 3 separate searches to finally find it a week or so after it came out.
You should know you’re not alone, the NYT is just as bad.
Also, why won’t your app recognize that I’m a subscriber when I click on an article sent to me? I either have to login again or just close and search for the linked article. Note that when I open the App it doesn’t require a formal log in.
Good luck

Reading on an iPad Pro is pretty annoying if using a keyboard—which is the typical way to use an iPad Pro. The main page is horrible. Each article has a full screen image and a headline. The headline doesn’t even fit on the screen because the image is so large. Give me an option to hide the image. I’m not looking for a picture book. Stop making me scroll so much to see the headlines.
Check out the NYT app for decent formatting.
Maybe the Globe just doesn’t have enough subscribers to pay someone to format the front page daily. That is fine. At least let me hide the useless pictures. I Just scrolled through and 6 of 7 pictures are just dudes and only one is someone I recognize. Why do I need to see these people. If they didn’t something important, tell me what they did. Just give me the headlines so I can choose what story to look at.
