Best
Best newspaper in Southeast-no fear of politicians etc-great editorials.
E-Paper
E-Paper will not open. I get a “too many requests” on my iPad. This problem started 3 weeks ago.
Can’t login
I get the email for the epaper I subscribe to. Read most of an article I am presented with. Get interrupted saying I have to subscribe or login. Go to login. See the window for the login page, and it says can’t find server. And I’m stuck. This should work. Not sure why I subscribe when I can’t get to articles sent to me.
Please fix
App gets stuck every time I use it, requiring a restart
Grammar and spelling
Please edit more carefully.
Great newspaper🩷
After being forced to switch to the new app, I was trying to be open-minded about the new app. It was slower and seemed less user friendly but I was trying to give it a chance. This morning, the new version doesn’t have the real estate section on it at all. So, I went to the old version for that information. What will I do next week when the old version is gone??
Online Paper Becoming A Pain
Since forcing readers to access the paper two days a week, P&C now seems to be running out of bandwidth. We keep getting “Two Many Requests” error messages. If the point of the online edition was to save money, it’s unfortunately to the detriment of the users. I, for one, am fed up with this paper.
Awesome app if you love logging in constantly
Way too often the app requires me to login. Please fix! Also, not all of the news categories update regularly- I’m seeing National news stories that are 6-8 weeks old.
Fix log in function
Log in function is annoying. App never remembers that I’m a member.
Mixed bag
I am a long time supporter of P and C. This app has improved over the years but the one bit that is soooo annoying is that I cannot read articles from the P and C tha are hyperlinked. The app sends me to a rendering of a browser, and that requires me to log in again. Let me see all the P and C content that I pay for!
The Best
The P&C is a very good newspaper that remains relevant and essential. In particular, its investigative focus is outstanding, thoughtful, and timely. The paper’s editorial leadership demonstrates the crucial role of local news services in a time of social media that distorts the truth, maligns decency, and undermines community values. I do not always agree with its editorial positions, but I respect the rigorous effort to bring informed opinion to the public square.
Log in and password system
Periodically stops working and the reset process is maddening
Frustrations
Very frustrating to read with a tablet such as an iPad. Pages do not scroll properly and it is often difficult to enlarge an article for reading. I subscribe to another newspaper and have no problem reading it online. Could the PC be using inferior software?
App Performance
While I enjoy the Post on line the app is frustrating. Click to enlarge an article does not work about 10%-15% of the time. Then when you use your finger to enlarge the text, often it freezes and you have to leave the app and re-enter. Other functions work fine and make reading easy however, almost every day I hit one of the snags listed and makes reading frustrating.
Good source
The Post & Courier helps me keep tabs on what is happening in the greater Charleston community and within our wonderful state of South Carolina. The journalists at the paper cover a wide scope of topics, delivering news, hometown tidbits, profiles of local leaders and of course in-depth analysis of chronic concerns such as flooding. Sometimes they are too “woke”, grandstanding a bit about extreme ideology, but I still enjoy reading the paper and value what it delivers.
Tiny Pass on sign in
The App always wants to send an email to log in and when you click on the link in the email it takes you right back to the page you started at. Severe glitch . I’ve tried it about 20 times . Guess I’ll have to call someone cause I have already paid !!
Why isn’t it better?
Apparently there is a need to re-sign in now and then. I tried to reset my password, but still get the message “you have read your last free article…”. I paid, just last month for a year’s subscription. Trying to reset the password is a death spiral; it never seems to allow a reset to work. So now I call the office. PLEASE FIX THE APP!!!!
Sign on challenges, editorial content meh
Apple sign on doesn’t always work, not enough coverage of politics and crime. Good but sparse business content
Outstanding local journalism
The Post and Courier delivers daily local journalism at the highest level - far exceeding that found on most larger cities! And, this in a time when even the larger cities are scaling back.
Viral pop ups
App allowed virus pop up which tries to scare users that a virus has invaded. If the user hits the OK button a virus would be installed.
Page size
Many times can’t Scrooge down without page size getting too big or too small
Paper good, app not so good
I’m committed to good journalism and appreciate all that P&C does to maintain it. We subscribe for print and digital but using the app or the in-line paper can be a little clunky. Not enough to stop me from using it but enough to be a little frustrating.
CPT hb
Well, I live in the PD. I get the Post and Courier, which keeps me thoroughly informed of things going on in the low country and the Midlands highly recommend the publication and I still get it and print. Thank you for still putting out a quality product.
Website is a nightmare
Always forgets your log in. Cancelation is impossible. So any ads the function is impaired. No way to opt out of data mining. And I pay for this? The news coverage is good however.
Reinstalls required
I have to delete the app and reinstall to get the latest edition to appear.
Love the paper, but app needs work
App is glitchy. Requests sign when I haven’t signed out and then won’t let me sign in.
Terrible app
App will never load without rebooting
Review
Too expensive, constantly having to log back in. Very user unfriendly
Worse app
E paper should download automatically and be front and center. Moving through paper is problematic. Zoom in and out is terrible. Worse upgrade to app. Performance is terrible. Rating of 2 is generous.
Too many login requests
The P&C app is okay. But it forces you to login way too much. At least every week.
the Post and Courier e-paper App isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
Ring the lone surviving daily newspaper subscriber in the area, I can only assume the paper version will soon be a relic of the past. And here I was … hoping to outlive the demise of South Carolina’s oldest printed newspaper. The e version, if no more user friendly.
User
Consistently terrible performance with constant unexpected shut downs or crashes on a new iPad using updated OS
Mediocre
Still a mediocre app that seems stuck in the early 2000/s, intrusive ads.
Costumer Experience
Simply the worse costumer experience ever. Very disappointing. No wonder they have to ask for donations.
App doesn’t allow me to log in
It’s disappointing that the Post & Courier app will not allow me to log in and read articles. Whenever I try to log in it takes me to a “404” bad link page. Subscribers like me should have a better experience. Please fix this app.
Horrible customer service
I continuously have problems with my subscription and there is no one at the P&C you can call to speak with, in an effort to deal with things.
