I just can t deal with the black background The layout isn t much either Background too dark NCGrits70
We subscribe because we like to read the paper on paper We do not subscribe so the carrier may deliver when he she wishes forcing us to read the paper online If we were regularly to read it online we would not need the print edition And in fact we are not really sure we need the print edition anymore anyway since more and more print edition copy has already appeared online by the time we see it in print Also what happened to your commitment to the communities you serve Who in Raleigh cares to read extensively about Charlotte or even Durham We subscribe to the Raleigh paper Give us coverage of Raleigh thorough coverage including arts and culture in our city and not just bus truck shows and presentations by your remaining big advertisers Service should be the name of your game Digital disaster Fixtrot Alpha
Previous to the current version I thought that the app was great much better than the Washington Post app which I also have subscribed to Now it has greatly regressed Was there any Human Factors work done The four shaded bars on the two sides are very distracting If you try to zoom in on an article along the side it is overlaid with the shaded area If you double click to bring up the article it also displays summaries on the right in horizontal viewing To many other deficiencies to list here 4 4 stars is misleading New version is terrible dickthemc
Where are the comics How can I jump from section to section How can I get the old app Back Royster chamblee Rather have the old one Neversail
What a mess Poor emma1823
Upon opening this app for the first time I m prompted whether or not to allow the app to access my location when I use the app However there is no explanation as to why it wants my location and what it would use my location for All it says is N O wants to access your location If you want to access my location let me know why you want it and what you use it for so I can make an informed decision as to whether to allow access This alone merits a one star rating No explanation why it wants my location FoxShepard
Great news site always updated Great news site Faisdaou
The previous digital version had a search function I complained some time ago Seriously why do you not want people to search the archives No search function CEweLater
Not seeing the e edition on he iPad version This app is terrible Time to cancel my subscription A mix of abnoxious ads and terrible articles tommyk96
Had to delete and constantly reinstall as it bloats Memory hog attitoad
Update June 28 17 Gets worse by the day now cannot open the most recent issue Well I just received my subscription renewal WHY WASTE THE MONEY WHEN YOU WASTE MY TIME WITH THS POOR APP WISH I COULD DO NEGATIVE STARS Do the programmers ever test what they create Does management really even care This gets worse over time Slow more ads then content difficult to use It s like what becomes of the paper copy when finished ITS Garbage and now an icon on my home page You have got to be kidding Thanks get to wide page I have to close 3 pieces of junk Getting to the point that it s becoming useless POOR And being nice 1j$hl
This version brought the option to read the print format version back to the front page It had previously been buried in a list on the last screen It has been stable and I appreciate the improvement E edition up front mvIntuition
Bring back the e edition option If it exists in this new format I can t find it Make it obvious Make it available as the default landing screen The new and improved version is only new Ugh NC 608
The new format is BAD My 1 star rating is generous Is there a way for me to upgrade back to the previous version New format is HORRIBLE 90Tiger
New version is awful Terribly organized Wish I had never updated Terrible Cyrano4747
It has no search function that I can discover Of greater concern though is that stories that appear in the daily paper are not always in the online version Today I wanted to share a story on the craft beer industry but it was nowhere on the site Missing elementary functions carlinhos1941
This new app is terrible You cannot read whatever you want They preselect the stories and it is by chance that you find something you might want to read There is no search feature that allows you to read about a certain topic Although I am a subscriber to the news and observer have gone back to the desktop to read the news Useless Should go back to the old app until you make this new upgrade user friendly Impossible to use ScramJam
I dislike this version The prior version was easier to navigate scan articles and even display the print addition Time and daily use has not helped Please revert to prior app or start over One positive feature of earlier apps now apparently unavailable was ability to see print edition New Ap Ktobx
I have no words other than above What we re you thinking by scrapping the print edition view This is very poorly done We deserve better Just plain awful Heedenism
I don t have a problem with the format The new look looks cleaner and functions smoother Unfortunately the videos play but without sound I ve tried several times but there isn t any wound for any of the videos Sound Doesn t Work jubei_jc
Can no longer find print view can t search for topic Very Frustrating Trying to Use HiddenJewel4
New versions crashes Very frustrating Peggrif peggrif
Not user friendly It is too chaotic Please give me Back the one that looks like the newspaper Terrible new app Merryxmas2u
The new version is a significant step back Deleting it off my ipad Not worth the memory it takes up Horrible App Fishinggut
NEW FORMAT TERRIBLE ITS LIKE THEY ARE FORCING US BACK TO PAPER COPY MAYBE I LL JUST CANCLE WHOLE SUBSCRIPTION New format TERRIBLE rkoler
Very user friendly photos crisp and clear easy navigation Great app
I had used this app on my older iPod Now it says I have to upgrade to the new version but the new version is only supported on iOS 7 or later Not an option on my iPod Deleted No longer supported under iOS6
I thought this was an app so subscribers could read the paper on the iPhone like they can on the iPad It is not the paper but their choice of news and once I choose a story there is no back button or way to leave the article Each time I open the app it opens on the same story with no way out Horrible
I am impressed with the new UI It looks fresh bold and modern The NO now has an app that matches their top notch journalism Much improved
Used to be Mediocre at best now you have to buy a subscription I will delete this one thank you From bad to worse
Its crap unless you have a subscription Meh
Current version is now unusable because it forces an update Update is unusable because it requires iOS 7 Now unusable
Best local news app for Raleigh area Better than wrap and abc 11 The interface is clean and the app is smooth without many ads or glitches Perfect
needs to be opened twice content is not as good as the web site or iPad version updated version now requires paid subscription for all content always crashes on first open
Visually appealing and easy to navigate Best paper in NC Easy to use
Consistently improving There is much potential they havent begun to touch but NO definitely going in right direction Getting much better
I have an iPhone 5s and the latest update Despite this the app doesnt load the article at all once you tap on the one you want to read Doesnt work
Great app and the best source for local news Best source for local news
Since when did we need a digital subscription to read news stories on the NO app Not cool Since when
Only way this could get submitted is If I I gave it a star this is soo biased why doesnt peace Shaw or St Aug have their own section Your worried about only NC state and DUKE in a whole nother city Thats not right And now u have to have an acct to read stuff Gone Biased 0 stars
Even though we get the paper version I appreciate getting notified on the go of breaking news Easy to use well designed Great app
App is glitchy and needs some work It doesnt reload stories well and displays stories from a few weeks ago every time I open it Content needs improvement too Stories offer shallow coverage of events Glitchy
The pop up Ads are too much Are they really necessary Are you that desperate for Ad Nightmare
This app used to be alright A lot of local and national news But then it seemed as if a determined band of toddlers took over the journalism and I cant be bothered to attempt to read these poorly written articles No good anymore
Great way to view local headlines Handy
I mostly like the NO enough that I have a digital subscription that is supposed allow unlimited access via multiple means including this app But if there is a way of signing into your account and bypassing the numerous and intrusive ads sometimes covering the entire screen displayed within this app the designers work long and hard to hide it Adware
Doesnt let you read stories only article titles Tries to make you buy digital subscription in order to read stories Using the browser instead lets you read both title and story Awful
Im still using an iPhone 3GS so I cant upgrade to the new version but the old one no longer runs I wish the old NO app could continue for those of us holding onto our old phones 3GS user left behind
Im grateful to NO making this available for all these years Well done easy to use and up to date news
Have issues with the home page going blank This only recently started so not sure if its their update or iOS update causing it And the constant pop up ads are especially annoying Glitchy
Dont like it Where did the comics go RC2
This App restricts access to portions of the site that are freely available on the web based version such as blogs and Editorials without a login Not a good app Avoid this App less features and stories than online web
YOU CANT TURN OFF THE ANNOYING LITTLE ALERTS Do I really need to know the state senate just did something dumbagainat 1100 PM Ding Meh
App itself is easy to navigate and format is easy on the eyes Really like the ipad version which allows me to flip pages zoom and even change contrast only doesnt get 5 stars due to crashing when closing an article Easy access to NC news
A splendid APP and an outstanding newspaper Cant imagine it without them Among my most favorite Apps
If I could give zero stars I would When you click on a news story and then scroll down in the story the controls to navigate disappear so you have no choice other than to force close the app Very poor design NO Go back to the drawing board Crappy App
I just upgraded this app last week when it forced me to Now its requiring another upgrade But this time it requires that you be using iOS 7 I dont want to upgrade to iOS 7 and I shouldnt have to The app was working just fine on iOS 6 I shouldnt have to upgrade the app in order to continue using it and I shouldnt have to upgrade to iOS 7 in order to continue using the app either Frustrated user that will now get my online news and ad views from another provider I Dont Want To Upgrade
The NO will require you to get a Press account but wont remember it This will make you either type it over and over for each article or give up Requires account wont remember it
Great app Give it a 5 star Raleigh News and Observer
I havent gotten any new stories since August the whole app is blank No help from support Another newspaper on their way out of business because they cant keep up with technology Broken since August
The majority of stories are previous day with some recent mixed in but only a fraction of the actual newspaper stories Bad thing is that even though content is poor after you read it a few times you are suddenly locked out unless you pay for a subscription just like on their website Losing readership and alienating the mobile and webbased readers as well Dont waste your time
Too many crashes and Im not paying for certain stories Lame
This app flows well The newspaper covers state and local political scene with a depth not found in other local media sources Key articles on main page with easy access to the different newspaper sections
The NO app is better designed than many national news apps Amazingly the NOs app is even more convenient than its website This is my daily goto app for local and statewide news and information Perfect
Can yall make a newsstand version Itd be way cooler to see you side by side with the the NY Times and WSJ Itd also put you ahead of the LA Times Newsstand
Im blessed to live in the Triangle but I travel a lot and the NO app works perfectly to keep me up to date on the goings on at home We live in a great place but its changing fast and we have to keep up This is a great tool Great for travelers
The News Observer is a horrible newspaper and app Very leftwing biased Cancel cancel cancel Cancel Your NO
Loved this app before the forced update Unable to use now since I dont have IOS 7 installed unable to Old version will not work Im sure there are many in this situation Please make app accessible to those without IOS 7 Im sure advertisers will not like having a large chunk of there audience cut out Guess for now I will have to get my NC news from other sources Unusable if you dont have IOS 7
I dont see a classified section Classified
I have the iPad app and it works just fine On the phone it another story I have selected Print view several times but only get the Live view That means you only see a list of seeming random articles Much of the newspaper is missing Disappointing NO phone app Fail
The latest version keeps crashing after being open for 3060 seconds Constant crashes
With no warning they are now apparently firewalling content requiring something called a press account Frankly since they have apparently laid off all their editors and many writers the content isnt worth paying for it was barely tolerable at free Stick with apps from WRAL and WTVD for better RaleighDurham local news for free Paid content
Great for local and state news Easy to navigate Good news app
Havent been able to get it to stay open for more than a half second on iPhone or iPad for weeks since last update Remind me why I paid for access Crash City
Works easily Your Lordship
