The Boston Globe for Positive User Reviews
✓ Online version Good formatEasy to follow, links directly from notification to article (not all news app do ) . Pleased with newsworthiness of notifications they choose to send out and speed of app. Also I like having the option to see paper in print format. I am in trial phase, and pleased with the online presentation and ease of navigation. I would like to subscribe permanently , but I Am not sure for how long I will subscribe only because newspaper subscriptions and other online news related, TV, and entertainment subscriptions add up, and I am retired on fixed income. ..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Excellent reporting, great sports section. Subscription price too high, repeats too many articlesThe app is great, but the monthly subscription for the online program is too high. The Washington Post offers a subscription for like a third of what the Globe charges. and when you’re scrolling down through the app, you frequently see the same stories again and again..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Digital daily and hard copy on Sundays equals a winning combinationI have received The Boston Globe online daily and a paper copy on Sundays for about 7 years now. I value having access to the excellent news coverage, thoughtful columnists and special investigations everyday. It’s important to me to be an informed citizen and have a news source I can trust in this age when so many alleged news sources have no regard for truth..Version: 2.9.21
✓ Love the GlobeEnjoy being able to read one of my favorite papers on my phone. But I sure do wish they’d fix the bug that commands me to login to make a comment.. in a circular bug. I log in, find my way back to the story, go to comments, and am repeatedly commanded to login to comment. So annoying. And no app support..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Love the reporting, but tech needs work- clicking on a link takes me to a webpage not the app - i can’t log into the web page even after clearing cookies. This alone prevents me from reading half the headlines emailed to me. - search within the app needs work - searching for a keyword rarely pulls up the latest articles. Would also be great to search by issue..Version: 2.9.18
✓ My connection to BostonI grew up in Massachusetts and moved to Arizona when I retired. After reading the Az. Republic for a year, I subscribed to the online version of the Globe. I look forward to starting my day with a cup of coffee and the Boston Globe. I can’t imagine any newspaper having a better staff of writers. From local news to coverage of national and international events as well as sports, the reporting is unexcelled. I am frequently motivated to comment on articles and quite often get a response from the writer. Clearly they care about their readers. Great paper that keeps me connected to Boston..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Great app, great reportingFirst I want to emphasize how critical it is in this day and age to support quality reporting and the Boston Globe really stands out. I am particularly impressed by the investigative reporting done by the Spotlight team well beyond their Pulitzer Prize series in abusé in the Catholic Church. The current report on the sad fate of Valedictorians is an eye opener. The app itself makes access to the news easy. It should in fact send me more text alerts for articles! On an iPhone they are regrouped by source and are a nice incentive to check what’s happening..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Now I live in PA but...There was a time when The Boston Globe went through hard times but it is back better than ever. Although I moved to PA, I find myself drawn to the investigative writing highlighted in The Globe still. Some stories, though national, have an interesting, thoughtful angle in The Globe that is not found in many larger, and smaller papers. The writers are spectacular, but this is a team effort—the editors make the writing better, relevant, focused. Great work, everyone!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Globe a Must ReadAs a Rhode Island resident, my subscription to the Boston Globe provides me all the most relevant Rhode Island news in a thoughtful, fair way (and is by far the best source for that) as well as great information and insights into regional and national issues as well as all the professional sports information I crave. My subscription is the best investment I’ve made!.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Great but super expensiveWith the New York Times coming in around $17 a month for their digital version, and with the Washington Post at a very modest $99 a YEAR, the $27+ a month for the Globe feels like I’m being gouged. I think only the Wall Street Journal more expensive, among daily papers. As a native New Englander living in NY, I pay it for the Sports section and Boston area news. But I grind my teeth every month when the money comes out of my account..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Love the BG. Navigation could be improved.I’d like to control the priority of types of articles, like moving sports low in the feed rather than the top even though I almost never read them. I’d like the app to remember what I read each day, and not show me articles I’ve read after I finish reading another. I’ve given this feedback directly, but not received a response nor seen a change..Version: 2.9.9
✓ Your Home/Small SpacesLOVE these articles. Just the thing to be exploring as we wrestle with smaller housing footprints and higher prices per square foot. Let’s have a look at updating old spaces with newer, sustainable and durable materials that look beautiful and don’t break the bank..Version: 2.9.16
✓ The BestI’m 78 years young and having been reading the Globe for at least 70 of those years. I can remember siting on my front stairs in West Medford waiting for the Globe to be delivered so I could get all the sports highlights and box scores. In my working career I traveled a lot for business and I made sure the Globe was saved for my enjoyment when I got home. The globe had so many great writers whether it was politics or international news but my love of sports was what got me hooked from Cliff Keane, Bob Ryan, Tom Fitzgerald, Leigh Montvale , the king of football writers Will McDonough, Peter Gammons. Plus your coverage of high school and college sports can’t be beat Please don’t stop being the #1 newspaper in the country.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Newspaper readers paper!I read newspapers. I have always read this newspaper in paper format- but I am the person who would pile up papers to save. I read this newspaper because I have always loved this newspaper and I love the digital format. I wish we could pay for single articles to send- I always have the desire to share with my kids something I learned reading. I read this newspaper in the middle of the night even!.Version: 2.9.11
✓ WHY is there still a section called “Ana Walshe”?Why is there still an entire section for this story?? There are so many other newsworthy events that have happened since that don’t have their own sections. We care more about a single woman (as sad as it is) than the entire earthquake in Turkey? Or the war in Ukraine? Or literally anyone else who has died since January?.Version: 2.9.9
✓ Women’s college volleyballBoston is a college town yet with all the schools within the heart of Boston there is absolutely no coverage of women’s college volleyball. What is as popular here as it is over the rest of the country, all major schools, especially those in division one have a very competitive teams. I can’t imagine why Boston Globe chooses to leave their games out of the local sports roundup. One of the early games out with the season was televised and reported on nationwide because it drew over 25,000 fans..Version: 2.9.18
✓ Fan From Near and FarI have been reading the Globe for about 60 years whether I lived in Boston, Maine, South Florida, Shemya, Alaska, Herzogenaurach, Germany, or my current home, Greenville, SC. Many times the paper was a day or a week old. It didn’t matter. The Globe is the best at covering local, regional, and national news on a daily basis. Sports columnists like Peter Gammons, Bob Ryan, and Dan Shaughnessy are gifts to a literate sports fan. The Spotlight team’s investigative reporting pulled back the curtain on despicable behavior by a powerful, entrenched institution. ( A shoutout to my BLS classmate Steve Kurkjian). Although I have lived away from Boston for more than 50 years, the Globe allows me to be a lifetime Bostonian..Version: 2.0.2
✓ What Wonderful FunIntriguing..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Update crashingI uploaded the most recent version of the app and it crashes repeatedly. The update logged me out and won’t allow me to log back in. Fix it. And do something about the old stories that continue to show up way past their newsworthy dates..Version: 2.9.0
✓ Mostly fine with one annoyanceI like this app but there’s a frustrating glitch. I have allowed push notifications but when i press a notification to read the related article, about 70-80% of the time the app opens to the home page instead of the article. This leaves me to dig for the article or, more likely, give up..Version: 2.9.16
✓ Love the Globe, wish app were better integratedAlthough it’s much more expensive than my other digital newspaper subscriptions, I enjoy the Globe and the app. However, I wish the app were better integrated on my mobile devices. I get daily headlines in my email, and when I click through, I hit a paywall. I go through the alternate login process using Facebook, but then it shunts me back to the paywall. I end up having to go to the app and search for the story, which is a pain. My other subscriptions accept my Facebook credentials successfully. Irksome..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Great writersI will forever be a 7 day a week subscriber to the Boston Globe. Each day the writers have super informative and motivational thoughts. A strong press is needed in our region and I think the current ownership of the BG has allowed a great paper to evolve. I would love to see a Spotlight series on the US Defense budget and their contractors and would like to see some coverage in the West Bank and Gaza. To really get conversations happening not just finger-pointing..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Locating an editorial cartoonWell, to start, as I’m writing this comment, I cannot see the text of what I I am in the process of writing. Please forgive my grammatical failures, as I am watching a blue cursor waltz across a blank field of space. To the cursor’s credit, it is at least moving in a fashion that might be expected Sadly, this started out as a two-star review, because it was so hard to find an editorial cartoon from Mr. Weyant (and excellent cartoon, for that matter) that I could not find on the site. But now I’m typing into the abyss; so doughnuts for you. Apologies for this, but best of luck on remedying this failures..Version: 2.4.0
