Newspaper
Same
Either update or quit bugging me
This update keeps popping up then takes me to a review request. Pretty lame way to get reviews.
Love Pantagraph on line
Always on time.
Wesleyan
I subscribed to the Pantagraph in order to follow Illinois Wesleyan university athletic events. Your coverage of your local small university is very sparse. Your coverage of Illinois State University is very good although I have two children that are graduates at ISU. I now have a granddaughter who is involved at Illinois Wesleyan. Your coverage is almost nonexistent. I go through your E addition every day, especially after games and sometimes there’s not even a score listed very disappointed with your coverage.
Better
It has gotten better but quit repeating things.
Good local news.
Good local news
Need better app
Frustrating to be asked continually to update app and agreeing to do so takes you no where.
Popups look like malware
I’m getting numerous popups of the “you’ve won click here” variety. This is a paid subscription; please tighten up security on this app!
Diminishing two-sided or neutral perspectives
Increasing dependence on AP left-leaning perspectives
The Pantagraph
❤️ IT!!
Repetitive Stories
High number of articles are repetitive from one day to another. Every time app is opened recently, says the app needs to be updated, but it really doesn’t, takes me to this review page, very frustrating!
Improvement-NOT!
I do not like this new app! Photos are in your face, (too big) and now the font is too small in obit/pending funerals section. As the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” I do love Susan Hazlett’s column,(thank goodness she still has a sense of humor and keeps her political opinions out of print. Others there at your paper could learn from her. Otherwise, very little of the newspaper is original anymore , too many AP stories and political hogwash !
Update?
When I open the app I get a message telling me that there’s an update available. When I click the link I’m not taken to an update page but a review instead. So here’s my review. The update message is either intentionally or unintentionally misleading. So which is worse, the Pantagraph and/or the app designers are deliberately deceiving the app users or they aren’t competent enough to fix the problem?
Stop with the pop up ads!!!!!!
Stop with the pop up ads!!!!!!
Annoying
Every couple of days it shows that you have a notification. When you open the app there is no notification to be found. Terrible. Is this just to get people to open the app more often?
Glitch with app
I have a paid subscription for the e-edition of the Pantagraph, which allows me to view articles through the app. However, for the last month or so, at least once a week it tells me I need to sign in or restore my purchase. But it shows that I’m still logged in. So, in order to proceed, I have to log out of the app and then sign back in. Just annoying to keep having to go through this every week. Would also like more local articles available through the app.
way too expensive
I have no idea why I continue subscription
Disappointing
Articles show up multiple times and sometimes don't load. Living down in North Carolina and I want to read the news from my hometown and the town my family lives in. Pictures won't load, and I'm not paying for premium content. You are pissing off a lot of people just so you can bring in more money.
App broke
Interesting that this Pantagraph app and the Vidette app broke recently. They both have the exact same version notes for a new version released a week ago. So maybe you also host the Vidette app. Regardless, when clicking on any article, i get “your request cannot be processed at this time, no content available”. Ios 14.1
Latest update again created new problems
The latest update made the app unusable again. Unable to log out; paywall appears and won’t Allow viewing. Saved articles again are gone. What a disappointment.
More local news
Would love the app if it had more local news or even all local news. I get my national news from other sources and want to get my local news from the local paper. May have to find it from other sources as well.
Horrible
This app is a joke. It’s unreadable and not worth paying for and the prices are ridiculous not to mention that a lot of the news is slanted. Can’t we do better than this BloNo?
Crooks !!
I had previously signed up for 6 months for $1. I then tried to cancel at 5 and half months because I will not pay $16.99/month. They then offered $4.99 and I accepted and started deducting from my card on 26th of every month. With no notice they deducted $16.99 on the 20th of Aug. After a long conversation they said they would return it to $4.99 and credit my account over next several months. Low and behold I get another $16.99 notice and just give up and cancel effective Sept 1. They then charged my account another $16.99 on Sept 3. Impossible to get anyone to talk to on phone that doesn’t try to renew instead of addressing problem. JW
No reason to use
No reason to use this app. It wants to track you for ads and many of the articles can't be viewed at all unless you sign in. Better off using their website with an InPrivate or Incognito browser tab, or reading mode.
Terrible
$26 a month subscription required all of a sudden for local news? No thanks!
