The Globe and Mail

I just moved to Canada and this app is great to know what are current news topics in Canada

The updated version is bloody awful. Nothing but a giant advertisement with bits of news confusingly mixed in. I'm going to take it off my iphone. G&M, did you do any user trials before launching? If not, try it next time!

I can see them on the iPhone app but they say “unauthorized” on the IPad app. I am logged in on both apps. What gives? Update: It’s August 2024 now and still can’t see comments on the iPad app…but they work fine on the iPhone app. I’m a paid user. Please fix.

I really like its unlimited device model and it has article reader option for most articles. There are 2 improvement area: 1) more local news - we can get better local news from cbc, free!!! 2) investment data/news is very limited or outdated. E.g.1: Click an ETF ticker symbol in an article you’re reading inside the app, you can’t even see its top holdings/% of the fund, companies/sectors; or, E.g.2: you saw a stock in your Watch list had a big move on a given day, but when you clicked for its news from the Watch List, its last news was more than half a month ago. Yahoo Finance have all those for free and much more timely.

Recommended articles should be much better

This current version on my iPhone 13 keeps returning to the top while I am scrolling down, making it almost unusable. I’ve stopped using this version on my phone entirely.

App not working

Zbc

The app has greatly improved over the past six months or so. As a subscriber though, every article should not be interrupted by several ads in the middle of the text. Unusable.

So on the main pages, if you slide your finger to the left and right it'll switch views to the next category of articles. But if I accidently slide to the left or right slightly with my finger it'll bring me back to the top for no reason. I'm trying to get through the articles below and now I have to scroll all the way back down. I rather use the website on my phone
