Love this reading experience

By Joeys Mom (Pcmac user)

In contrast to the app slick verticals scroll news sites this is just like the app physical paper. I read on an iPad mini and zoom the app article, touch the app colored “go-to” to continue to another page. Touch again to return to the app page I came from. To correct a previous reviewer, you can download for offline reading, which I use on the app airplane. There is an options setting. 30 days of back newspapers are available. Yes, downloading issues will take up room. Previous reviewer who was critical of APPs data use might have a 16g tablet/phone. I have no problems on a 64gb device with MANY apps and a very active email inbox.
This app is a piece of crap!!!!! Don’t Bother!

By Rating-Guy (Pcmac user)

I have been a subscriber to the app Mercury for decades but the app paper keeps getting smaller and most of the app stories are from the app Washington Post and AP, they have few reporters of their own anymore. the app app is the app worst piece of crap ever. You will constantly have to give your user name and password because it forgets it almost daily. Further you have to keep zooming in and out to read any article on you iPad or phone. If you double click on a story to get just the app text version if you read to the app end you will have to scroll all the app way to the app top to close it. It basically makes reading so frustrating you wind up just closing it and going to another news source. the app Wall Street Journal is a much better app. I am probably going to dump my print subscription soon as I can get almost everything they print from other sources at a better price.
Would be so easy to make better

By BelmontM2 (Pcmac user)

I use this every morning. Read on the app Ipad in wide mode. the app typical thing to do is use the app > key to go to the app next page. But they have placed “Search” and “Specials” keys RIGHT NEXT to the app next page key. I keep getting these pop ups when all I want to do is go to the app next page. How easy it would be to put these on the app left, out of the app way! Another minor annoyance is Fantasy football Special from September is still there. Why??
Acceptable and annoying

By Sgaucho (Pcmac user)

App works fine. Articles look the app same as print copy. There are some problems with letters sometimes appearing as special characters. Only rated at three stars because I have to delete and reinstall as the app app takes more memory as it is used.
