The Philadelphia Inquirer

I like this app and refer regularly to it. But it doesn’t update and I can still be reading old headlines for days. The only way I can update is to delete the app and download it anew. I must do this several times per week. I twice sent emails to app developers about this in the past.

The Inquirer is a biased rag sheet with one sided, unobjective coverage.

Still no paper this am-10:35!!!!

The 24-hour “day pass” is a fraud. Debits your Apple ID balance, and then fails to load. Robs your account of the fee. If you are hankering for digital access to the Philadelphia Inquirer… best to go to the website and look for offers the traditional way. Avoid the Apple access.

Lifelong reader

Once a great, balanced paper, the Inquirer is now a racially biased rag that will probably be out of business in 10 years. Really Solomon, are all the black problems due to White folk???

Thank you for being my hometown rag, and stoked to see the dark mode setting in newer versions. I often read news in the dark so it’s a setting I enjoy.

Quality programmed app

If nothing else, I would give this app 5 stars for letting me subscribe (and unsubscribe) to the Inquirer through the App Store, which means I don’t have to call and fight with a retention specialist if I ever want to cancel. Fortunately, the app itself is fantastic to use. Performs well on iPhone and iPad, and has a great “full newspaper” view that lets you easily find articles you want to read and tap into them for a full page read.

Your writers seem to confuse editorials with straight news. Here’s a quick lesson: except for the editorial page, your writers should refrain from injecting their opinions, using subjective, activist language, and maintaining the delusions that they are the story. PLEASE, just go back to answering the five main questions about the event in the first paragraph and fill in the details. Tell me more about what’s going on on city council, the mayor’s office, taxes, police, urban development. And don’t make your headlines incendiary, either. I can make my own mind about the news and its effect on my life. Also the stories on the app are recycled day-to-day? You seriously can’t update them daily? Your desk is so bereft of noticing real city news that it can’t provide new stories at least twice a day?
