Island Packet News for Negative User Reviews
✓ Format does not work any longerI can no longer get the packet to read like the newspaper. No the paper version only show up in a small window on the side of the screen and is much too small to read. They need to go back to the old version of the app..Version: 7.4.0
✓ App hasn’t worked for weeksApp is no longer refreshing content. Gives error message “Error fetching feeds - pull to refresh” and does not. Have deleted and reloaded numerous times..Version: 9.1.5
✓ OkIt makes you log in if you wanna read full story's not that great.Version: 4.8.0.0
✓ RedundantStories are repeated from category to category. Irritating. IP should do a better job of organizing stories..Version: 5.22.1
✓ Very Bad AppI’m a subscriber and this is the worst news app I have. App doesn’t open often. Terrible. Please fix!.Version: 9.1.5
✓ Print newspaper is great but app is notWhenever I try to open the app, it says "An error has occurred, please try again later. (-1011)".Version: 5.17.2
✓ New app won’t open!Please fix your new app…it won’t open!.Version: 9.1.3
✓ Bring back the paperFind new format very difficult to navigate and have no idea when and where updates come in..Version: 7.4.0
✓ PresentationThe pages look dark needs to be lightened up.Version: 6.2.2
✓ Doesn't workWorked fine but apparently last update stopped it from working on my iPhone 6. Opens & immediately terminates, tried deleting & restoring but still won't work!.Version: 5.6.0
✓ A DisasterAnother formally useful format replaced with a junked up page, ipad disaster. If it ain’t broke why try to fix it and fail?.Version: 7.3.0
✓ New App is TerribleI pay for access to this newspaper online and the new app prevents me from getting any value for what I pay. The new app is not intuitive, does not work correctly once you figure out what to do, and is filled with click bait advertisements. I hope someone at the IP didn't pay anyone to develop this app. Looks like it came from a local grade school..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Nice update guys!Nothing like making it even harder to read than it was before. Whose idea was this? Someone's kid who just graduated from SCAD? Hopefully, you didn't pay for it..Version: 9.1.6
✓ Island PacketWould like editorials more frequent and easier to get to.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Local newsVery good app for the Lowcountry. Just wish news could be updated more throughout the day..Version: 1.0.16.0
✓ App is poorly designedThe app for the Island Packet does not open all the time. It is frustrating to click on the newspaper view and the app does not always open. It just gets hung up and does not download. There are too many adds that run in the background which effects the appearance of the print text-it gets blurred when the adds open. If you click on the close add it just cycles to a new add. When prompted to enter a nick name to submit this Review it says nick name taken. I don’t believe it is taken. The word I chose is too unique. I’ll try again.Version: 7.9.3
✓ Sept. 25, 2019Love the Packet...hate the new app!.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Why did you change a good thing?No stars to rate this new app. Really prefer the old version here I can read the paper in the paper format. I can find easier and can determine for myself which articles I want to read further. Also don't like ads being pushed when we have already paid for the paper. I read ads in the old version but don't appreciate them being pushed on me. Have already gone back to my browser and enter through the e-version of the paper. Won't take the time for this version. LeaveItAlone..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Don't like the new appI woke up this morning to anew version of the app. I find it to be hard to follow. I enjoyed the old version where I could read the paper on my iPad in it's print form. I found that in the new format, I can't find things (like where are the letters from the opinion page). I also found that clicking on some items took me to a 25 second ad before I could read further. I don't mind ads but hate apps that I pay for to force ads upon me. Let me look at the ads when I want to look at them. I will probably discontinue my use of this app as a result of the new format. If I don't, I will certainly spend less time reading it. This app gets one star only because I can't give it zero..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Not as Good!!The e-Edition app was far better. With its traditional newspaper layout, you knew what you were reading was today’s news. With this app you have to scroll down a lengthy list of articles, no matter the section, to ensure you haven’t missed anything. What not put today’s articles at the top of the list? Duh..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Island PacketShould have left the previous version alone. It was more in depth than the current one. Is missing the digital copy of the newspaper..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Don't fixWhy did you change the site? It was great before. The old saying, "If is ain't broken don't fix it. ".Version: 6.0.0
✓ IgnoranceDoesn't work on older iOS. Older devices cannot load new iOS. Dopes at IP don't know this. Can't fix stupid!.Version: 5.6.0
✓ If I could give no stars i wouldSince the update it is impossible to read the packet on an ipad. I find it so difficult navigate through the pages. While reading the page goes blank or blurs. I am ready to cancel my subscription..Version: 7.4.0
✓ Terrible use of screen spaceI REALLY dislike the new Island Packet APP. Really difficult to scan all the headlines to see if there is anything new and interesting. The use of all the spaces the right for picture is just a waist. The IP app has been my #1 source for local news, but I will now look elsewhere to see what is available..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Personal experience with appFor what that’s worth. I’d give the newspaper a 5 in coverage of local news. And great to have access to it on line via the app. The app is haunted on my phone however. Frequently and inconsistently app reverts (flips) to home page from selected story. Happens when just reading as well as when scrolling. Deleted and reinstalled, cleared cache, contacted help desk, and compared settings with settings of other newspaper apps on phone. Hope other users don’t have this flipping problem..Version: 9.1.3
✓ App not working properlyHard to navigate, sections do not open when tapped? Looks completely different, but not better..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Default view settingsSettings set for Print Edition yet ALWAYS opens on Live View. Sad app for a communication company..Version: 5.22.1
✓ Why change what worked?No way to get print edition any longer. Also loved download for offline reading we just had added in past 10 days or so. Fix these flaws in new app?.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Horrible new formatIt looks as though the technicians have taking something that's working and broke it. This new format is like a dogs breakfast! Working now to try to find the old one. The.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Print EditionBring back the print edition. What a horrible update. Whoever led the charge to change the format should consider a new line of work. I cancelled my WSJ subscription for the same reason..Version: 6.0.1
✓ ImprovingMore accurate up to date content..Version: 4.8.0.0
