The Boston Globe users say on Google Play
The Boston Globe is a great resource for current events and, for me, a lifetime Boston Sports Fanatic, it's the best source of the inside story of the local teams! Also, because I retired to southwestern NH, the online version of the Globe is perfect for me!
UPDATE: The error I described below was caused by an unrelated issue with my account (not related to the app). The app works as designed now that that issue has been fixed. With the new update, the app won't let me log in to read articles. It shows a black screen with blue text saying "Your request is like Bad Medicine. OauthController: client_id is invalid" No idea how to fix it, tried reinstalling and everything
(Update) It's better than it used to be, but I keep finding little issues that other apps don't have. For example, even if I've locked my screen so it doesn't auto-rotate, this app insists on doing so, making it harder to read while lying down.
So many years have gone by and yet the Globe's app still can't reliably open an article when the user taps on a notification. It's such a basic problem. Why wouldn't they fix it?
After being told that there's no way to prevent certain types of ads from appearing in this smartphone app, I have uninstalled it. In between almost every article a video of a rat running appears. It's beyond gross and distracting. I don't pay for a subscription to be grossed out.
