The Wichita Eagle News

Again I have a paid subscription and I get blocked from reading articles. I have four other online newspapers I read and I am able to actually read the articles. This is a totally inadequate online digital newspaper. If I didn’t want a local news source I would just forget it. But with its present digital failures it is unreadable.

This may be what finally makes me drop my subscription. Unreadable. Update June 5: still awful. Won’t let me login in to read content.

I have tried to subscribe to the Wichita Eagle digital edition for 5 years. It has never really worked. I have paid for a yearly subscription. The last time I got ‘The State’ which was worthless. I assumed my payment had been hacked. It is impossible to lock up your account on website or app to know the status of your account. It is not available. Several months ago I finally got a person on the phone and was told I did not have a paid subscription. I paid for a yearly subscription and when I access the web page or app I’m told have a guest access and not full paid access. I would like to read the local news, but the Wichita Eagle is making it impossible.

The new Edition has buried a pdf version of a print layout but without the ability to open a complete article with a tap. After a week or so the Ap has been updated and the digital print layout version returned. Thank you!

the latest e paper will not show obituaries. I have the most updated app. This is ridiculous and really alienates loyal readers.

Recent changes are horrible. I simply want a digital version of a newspaper (that looks like a newspaper) and not a web app simply pointing to articles. This is not worth the subscription.

No access to any local news or comics. I selected categories and they were not accessible… the various topics across the top of the page on my wife’s iPad were all there, but mine only showed sports.

Today, May 1, 2024, the new “interactive” Eagle started. No news, just total frustration. I can’t find today’s print edition on my iPad. I’ve emailed the powers that be ( page 2 of yesterday’s readable version) as I learned long ago that the “customer service” (disservice) was useless. And they wonder why people are canceling.

Issue with app not opening. Either white screen or wichita eagle open screen, but that’s it. Sometimes turning off phone resets but today no. Usually have to get to newest Eedition from link in email, not app. It’s stuck on yesterday’s edition.

This is a free app but absolutely useless! Every article requires a subscription, so whats the point of a free app? All you get is the headline and to read on must subscribe!
