Ottawa Citizen ePaper Customer Insights

1. I wonder is anyone at the Citizen is contemplating updating this thing.It's erratic in downloading, touching the screen can change the font size if you do it in the wrong way, and I often have to uninstall and reinstall the app, signing in again to get my subscription newspaper.Why all the Permission? App asks for amazing number of permissions: identity, location, photo/media/files, WiFi, bluetooth, device type and ID, phone no.

2. Help!!Pretty much hit and miss; for a while it'll work fine, then suddenly the wheels begin to wobble (can't read the comments section or page links to continuing article stops working, etc) and finally it stops working altogether.

3. Un-installed within minutes.It is not user friendly, sharing articles option never works (bookmark keeps timing out), number of devices that a user can access it on is very limited so not practical for multiple people in one household to use.

4. Also no way to see the National Post as well as the Ottawa Citizen which both come with the subscription apparently.Very easy to read on a tablet.

5. Bottom line, app is lacking in professionalism which is disappointing.I keep getting error message that this is an old app and check for updates.

6. When I check for updates it just brings me to the same spot, tells me it is already installed.

7. It's not bad but words are hyphenated far too often and not grammatically correct as a single letter can appear on one line and the rest of word on another.

8. Each time after one use the blue highlighting on the article title that takes you to a view of the article disappears for good.

9. Poor sports coverage, limited local news, and almost no national news.

10. I would like to disable some of the permissions, such as access to my contact list, which seems like an unwarranted invasion of privacy.

11. No updates since 2018??? No wonder newspapers are in trouble.This app have never been very consistent.
