I want to read the Inquirer very much, but this on line app is terrible. It is inflexible and it provides a poor search engine. When on my smartphone, it often goes to a blank page and makes further use impossible. I have read this paper for over 50 years, but to continue is very discouraging. One cannot come close to the excellent NYTimes on line use. Very frustrating.

It seemed to be less crashy at first, but its been crashing at times now, still a very clumsy, slow app. With the new one, there seems to be no way to automatically download issues for offline. Also,once downloaded, there is no way to delete old issues short of deleting the app data

I loved the older app on my Android. I could download the paper and read it on the train without using data. New version has too many problems: i have to sign in again when it opens, it doesn't download offline on the Android (and when it does on IOS it's a PDF not the dynamic view of before), it freezes after viewing an article and has to be restarted. Please bring back the older version!

No need to wait for download before reading, and everything is large enough to read without changing the size, even the comics. Very stable. Has tabs to move between sections and you can choose articles from a list or page view. Much better than Press Reader.

Do not bother with this app on Android. If you need a newspaper on your Android device, and you want to be able to access it offline, look elsewhere. PNI is clueless and there do not appear to be any plans to make the app viable on Android. Ipad version works. As for me, I'm likely to cancel my Inquirer subscription altogether at this point, after 6 years of struggling with institutionalized mediocrity going all the way back to their first "tablet" more than 5 years ago.

This app is laggy, ignores the back button, resizes pages with no regard for your screen size ...really a mess. Another thing it does: if you go to another app, and return, the app usually needs to be restarted, as there's an all-white screen. It hurts my heart, deep inside. 😞 I hope that they replace this app. I truly fear for the future of the Inky if they don't fix this app. Any growth in readers and subscribers will be in digital access, and with this platform they've shot themselves in the foot. Very unfortunate.
