The Globe and Mail App Reviews

Why did you people change the old app it was working fine. Now there is a quarter of the content and the design is horrible. Made me cancel my subscription.

The newest update is soooooo poorly designed that I initially thought it was a temporary spoof or prank! Cant find any subsections, cant navigate to stories. . . And when I find something to read, it crashes. I do like the clean uncluttered look--although it is uncluttered because they took the content away! If this is not fixed within the next few days, Im canceling my paid subscription. Update: I called and tried to cancel my subscription. However, they bribed me with a 25% discount and I relented and kept it as I do read the paper online also. So, they bought themselves a reprieve with the bribe!! If they dont fix the app soon, Im outta here!!

This app, beyond its lack of content, is not accessible to those with low vision. The previous app allowed users the ability to increase font size, this app has no such features. Those with visual impairments must now resort to other local news outlets. Really disappointing.

Dont waste your time.

It crashes. Its hard to find content. Then, it crashes again. If you ask for help, they tell you to look at the full website to find the content you want. They even added an iOS learning guide (42.9 MB!) that tells you its an over-engineered disaster. Dont waste your time or money.

Come on G&M you are better than this. This new layout is all stylistic bs vs substance. Please go back to the old layout so we can easily find your great content!

I really regret updating this app the other day. It is horrible. Before I could select the sections I wanted to read. Not now! No choices at all. The font is too small to read as well. PLEASE put it back to the way it was.

This app is slowly improving and I have faith that it will get even better and earn a 5 star which is what the Globe and Mail deserves. There have been a lot of technical glitches but movement through the app is much better. The articles are great and give a good insight into the Canadian experience.

Drunken monkeys could have designed a better interface. It is confusing to navigate, difficult to scroll through, and takes mental gymnastics to link quotes / photos / headlines with stories. The editors comments about the redesign are nonsensical gobblygook! Ughhhh.....so bad!

The app is a bit slow to load and requires internet connection to read the articles. Id like less attractive graphics if it could be faster and store a copy on my phone to read anytime.

I live in the states, but the Globe and Mail still my go to source for all news, particularly financial and international. I loved the old interface; the new one is good, but can take a bit of time to load. That said, there is no news app I go to or trust as much as this one.

With each day of viewing I am afforded views from the extreme left. I am pleased that no effort is made to permit other views.

Globe and Mail is a premier news outlet in Canada, and this app allows the user to easily keep up with Canadian current events.

Editors of Globe and Mail: "You can only read, you shall not comment on our content." What is this if not cowardice and one-sidedness? If I find a piece of news worthy of discussion or on occasion incorrect representation of the facts (such as the US falsifying the numbers about its commitment against climate change!), why should I be barred from posting my comments?

This app has collapsed. Do not use it.
