- Supportive of local journalism
What they complain about
- Keeps crashing when you open it
- Downloads take forever and get stuck
- Uses too much battery power
- Takes up huge storage space
Informative
Enjoy having my coffee and learning about the world. I especially like feel good local news
App crashes
This app consistently crashes 3 to 5 times when reading the paper. Tech Support typically blames it on the iOS. But when the iOS is updated Tech Support has no answers why it continues to crash. Very frustrating
Puzzles should be interactive
Puzzles should be interactive so there is no need to print
Lack of news
Not enough substance of news. Paper is really thin of news
Not Useable on a Phone
Regardless of whether it’s a good app or not, it’s basically unreadable on a phone.
Battery Hog
The app works great except for the fact it eats up battery power at a fast rate.
Poor Service
There have been a number of times in this past months that the ePaper was not available or would not download. There was a stretch of 5 days in a row. Not dependable and disappointing service?
Citizen Newspaper
Would like the “obits” and other specific pages easier to find,why can’t I just click on a listing on left of front page to get to where I want immediately ?
Subscription canceled
Cancel my subscription
Features for digital subscribers
For those of us who subscribe digitally, it would be nice if such things as puzzles where easily printable. Also make TV Scene a separate download so it could be easily accessible throughout the week
My Morning Go To
It is how I start my mornings, on the bus when I worked and now in retirement with my morning coffee. Your writing team are accomplished and have interesting perspectives. I have been a subscriber for over 25 years, thank you all for what you do!
Review
After all these past 50 years I’ve decided that the Ottawa Citizen is fully unable to just report the news. The added spin is unwelcome, unnecessary and unprofessional. A third rate tomb at best; sadly no longer required in physical newsprint format as my budgie bird died.
I have a subscription but it wants me to buy the paper
I have tried for about an hour to access my paper for which I have a subscription. It keeps wanting me to agree to pay for the paper. Very frustrating. I feel like cancelling the paper because I don’t need this aggravation. I can just read the Globe and Mail which never gives me this kind of problem. Why can’t the thing just work like it is supposed to. I reported this issue to the Citizen about 12 hours ago and nobody has responded as of yet. This issue is now fixed, but it took a week to fix. During that week, I was not able to read my paper.
Mediocre Quality
Going downhill relying on National Post articles, often a day old, and most annoyingly day old filler material from USA sources. If not for it being only print source for local news would not bother to buy. It is being used as a cash cow for money losing National Post. Can’t believe that Monday’s paper is cancelled. Can’t believe that you don’t report on the previous night’s Sens game even when it ends at 9:30 pm. Poor value and dropping
News
News is always about two days old, no sports at all on Mondays, no sports scoreboards ever.
Great resource for travel
Having the Citizen on line is a very enjoyable feature of the newspaper. Having it on my phone is easy to use in cars and planes. Also going to my cottage I can enjoy the paper without having it physically with me.
The “Tory Citizen”
I have been an Ottawa Citizen reader for many years, but am becoming more and more disenchanted with it, as it has increasingly become a solely Conservative party venue. Both views should be given if It purports to represent the people of Ottawa. If not, as another reader already said, it should change its name to the “Tory Citizen”.
E paper
Great when we’re traveling! Look like the real thing. Sure trees would provide 5 star review....if they could write.
Crashes a lot
The app can crash >5 times reading one day’s paper
Ottawa Citizen ePaper
It’s been 5 days and no paper, heard nothing from the Ottawa Citizen
Ottawa Citizen e-Paper
Hello One little thing I would like, is to read The Obituaries first, before heading off to work.. I prefer not to open the entire paper.. Sincerely Robb Rowe Kanata Hello, My request completed, Thank-You very much.. We really enjoy the e-paper, saving our land fills sites... Congrats to Postmedia for listening... Sincerely R. Rowe Kanata
Good Paper - Bad App
I have read this paper for years, most on the ePaper. I had to get a subscription through the National Post ePaper as the Citizen did not work. This was fine for a few years. About a month ago the National Post ePaper access stopped working. I managed to get a subscription to the Citizen ePaper to work from Oct 9 to today. Now the Citizen says my subscription has expired and it will not even let me pay for an issue, but Apple says my subscription is good until Dec 9. Interestingly, I just downloaded and installed the latest Apple update and now Citizen ePaper does not work. COME ON TECH GUYSat Citizen do your job.
Too many glitches
Many times trying to read the on-line Citizen on iPad is an exercise in frustration. Too often the paper will not download. The "download latest issue" button will not be highlighted, indicating it's not working. When you can download the paper, tapping on the blue, high-lighted title of an article to bring it up in larger font will sometimes take you to another article. On iPhone, you can be reading an article and suddenly you're switched to another page. This can happen more than once when reading an article. At that point, you just give up. They really need to do better.
Rational for low rating
Unfortunately, the Citizen and parent, National Post, are so biased toward the Conservative Party and anti the Liberal Government that it is offensive. This said by an apolitical person who has voted for every party but the communists. The fact that the Post controls most of the media of the country makes this a terrible situation. We only stay with your paper because of the local, international, and sports news. I hold no hope of you changing your negative position re our government. I remember only too well your editorial manager resigning his role because he dared to write a pro Trudeau editorial prior to the last election.,
Puzzles
I enjoy doing the daily KenKen, Sudoku and Jumble Words on my Ottawa Citizen paper copy. It would be great if those puzzles and others could be done online. Puzzles such as the daily Crossword and Sudoku, at 3 different levels, can be done online in other newspapers, for example La Presse. DiHearts
Frozen screen
Unable to read the citizen on my iPad. A month ago I called and explained this problem. From your end the problem was resolved for one week. I could read the e-paper on my iPad. Then again the frozen screen problem started. I am considering to cancel my subscription. Thank you. Urmil Bhatia
Terrible App
Unable to read the dam paper that I am paying for. I am constantly getting an error message stating “Service Error” “There seems to be a problem connecting online services”. Why pay for something you actually don’t receive. Recommend avoiding the electronic version of the paper if you actually want to read it.
Storage and account problems
I too have been forced to delete and re-download the app twice to free up iPad memory. Now it is telling me I have to pay to get today's issue even though my credit card has been charged for the subscription. And it did the same thing last month.
Can't download
UPDATE (Version 3.8.4): They finally fixed the storage issues - when you delete a paper in the app, it makes space on your device. Yay! Sentences being cut-off when you read a story in zoom mode is a new bug. UPDATE (Version 3.4.2): The downloading is fixed, but the other problems are not. Deleting a paper does not make space on the device - I have 5 papers on my device, taking up 12.3GB! Ack! Before the change, I was using PressReader to download the Citizen ePaper and it worked well. Since the change, I can't download anything. I'm sure this is a PressReader issue, but it takes forever to download a paper, and it downloads in chunks. I wait 10 minutes at 0% then it jumps up to 40% and gets stuck. Then it jumps up again. The paper takes minimum 30-40 minutes to download. Fix your app and servers!
It's a good news summary source.
It's reliable and inexpensive.
On line Citizen is terrible
You’d think they would want to make it easy to read. Anything but. Terrible on line accessibility.
Puzzle
Unlike the USA Today app,one can't do the crossword on the app itself
Ottawa Citizen
I love reading the newspaper. It is the start of my day (with a coffee). I miss Sunday’s paper but understand you guys need a day off. Thank you, Sandy
iPad edition
Why do I have access to a free e-citizen paper but not on my iPad?
Inconsistent
This app is inconsistent. The ability to touch the blue highlight area to bring up an article and the function to read in book mode is not always available. For example the Sat Jan 31 2015 edition. Also, the yellow arrow which brings the reader to the rest of an article continued on inside pages does not always respond. If these issues are not fixed, I will cancel my subscription.
Great to get local news from trusted reporters
I like the Citizen on the tablet. International and local news from reporters that are working to give a balanced view. I'm willing to pay for news from trusted sources. The paper on the tablet is even better than a paper version too. I can enlarge the type and pretend I don't need glasses! No wasted paper either as I don't like cutting down trees just for a paper I read once. I want my local paper to survive, and this format works great for me.
Crossword numbers don't print
Since the IOS8 update the numbers for the crossword clues are no longer visible when sent to a printer. This update to the Ottawa Citizen app doesn't correct the problem. PressReader's app has the same issue.
E Paper
Really enjoy this format, thankful not to have pounds of paper to recycle. Frequent traveller to Europe, nothing better than sitting in a cafe with coffee, croissant and the Citizen.
$1.99 an issue is ridiculous
How is it that the Toronto star is $.99 but the Ottawa citizen epaper is $1.99?????? And you wonder why you loosing readership!
