The Wichita Eagle News

the latest e paper will not show obituaries. I have the most updated app. This is ridiculous and really alienates loyal readers.

Recent changes are horrible. I simply want a digital version of a newspaper (that looks like a newspaper) and not a web app simply pointing to articles. This is not worth the subscription.

This may be what finally makes me drop my subscription. Unreadable.

No access to any local news or comics. I selected categories and they were not accessible… the various topics across the top of the page on my wife’s iPad were all there, but mine only showed sports.

Today, May 1, 2024, the new “interactive” Eagle started. No news, just total frustration. I can’t find today’s print edition on my iPad. I’ve emailed the powers that be ( page 2 of yesterday’s readable version) as I learned long ago that the “customer service” (disservice) was useless. And they wonder why people are canceling.

Issue with app not opening. Either white screen or wichita eagle open screen, but that’s it. Sometimes turning off phone resets but today no. Usually have to get to newest Eedition from link in email, not app. It’s stuck on yesterday’s edition.

This is a free app but absolutely useless! Every article requires a subscription, so whats the point of a free app? All you get is the headline and to read on must subscribe!

Articles crash constantly causing me to have to reopen the article, go back to my place, start reading, only to crash once again. Incredibly annoying.

The app is crashing not loading new content and will not stay on the page I open.

4–final review: The app is mysteriously back to a version that is usable. I say finally because all the difficulties made me realize I don’t really need this paper. When my subscription runs out I’m probably going to call and make sure they cancel it. The app is readable now. Some days the current paper wouldn’t pop up. I don’t know if that part is fixed yet. Only time will tell. 3–After reviewing the app last week and being asked to send screen shots I have yet a new issue and I’m removing a star. Now a google ad pops up on the bottom of the screen. When I try to close it, it asked me to give feedback. When I do I am left with text still covering the paper—“Ad closed by google.” And it’s still a small paper not filling my screen so no joy there. —————2–I had trouble with the app and was told uninstall and reinstall it. Now I have a weird tiny newspaper page in the carpenter of my iPad. Too small to read and I can’t switch pages without going back to the tiny page between EVERY Page. Hope this is fixed soon. It’s almost unusable. —————1–earlier review: This update is great! Two days in a row I have read articles without accidentally going to story mode. This was especially wonderful for the comics. Thank you! Earlier review: The app has improved greatly. Navigation through the paper is much easier.
