In his book 'Mass Disruption' former G&M EIC John Stackhouse lamented the struggles at the paper in the new digital era. The paper isn't struggling, it's lost in the weeds. Through multiple app iterations, G&M can't get digital right. The app doesn't load properly, articles aren't formatted properly, it's slow, articles won't open, entire sections won't load. It's a complete and utter mess. Three difrerent tablets, same poor user experience. Doing nothing would be better than putting out a bad product like this.

Recently it stopped working on Galaxy Tab S2 with Android 4.4.2. Cleared cache, uninstalled, restarted tablet. Installed from Play Stire. On opening, getting message "Loadin failed. Check your internet connectivity. Retry?" Connectivity is fine. Have unlimited subscription. Old app often had issues loading stories.

So many problems, so little space. An unlimited subscription is $25, this needs to be a lot better for that kind of money. Time to hire the app developer who built the one for The Guardian.

I have an 'unlimited' subscription. This app will accept my password, but still blocks 'unlimited' content. Password works on browser but not here or the other Globe app.

Huge improvement from previous attempts - and much faster. On a phone the overall appearance is not as good as the mobile web version. On a tablet it is very good. However, the tablet layout is poor as every story is presented as a full page rather than having several at the same time. The Globe is on the right track.

Certainly better layout on tablet than viewing Globe website in browser. Only problems are with login: no Google login and app has weird third party URL so my password manager doesn't recognize it.
