Beyond awful!

The newest update is soooooo poorly designed that I initially thought it was a temporary spoof or prank! Can't find any subsections, can't navigate to stories. . . And when I find something to read, it crashes. I do like the clean uncluttered look--although it is uncluttered because they took the content away! If this is not fixed within the next few days, I'm canceling my paid subscription. Update: I called and tried to cancel my subscription. However, they bribed me with a 25% discount and I relented and kept it as I do read the paper online also. So, they bought themselves a reprieve with the bribe!! If they don't fix the app soon, I'm outta here!!
Real disappointment
P-dot Toronto
This app, beyond its lack of content, is not accessible to those with low vision. The previous app allowed users the ability to increase font size, this app has no such features. Those with visual impairments must now resort to other local news outlets. Really disappointing.
Simply the worst.
Waldo Crashes
It crashes. It's hard to find content. Then, it crashes again. If you ask for help, they tell you to look at the full website to find the content you want. They even added an iOS learning guide (42.9 MB!) that tells you it's an over-engineered disaster. Don't waste your time or money.
Have you got the message?
Bait and Switch...
Are you listening, G&M? Your app is terrible, change it back!
Brutal interface

Come on G&M you are better than this. This new layout is all stylistic bs vs substance. Please go back to the old layout so we can easily find your great content!
Globe app

This app is slowly improving and I have faith that it will get even better and earn a 5 star which is what the Globe and Mail deserves. There have been a lot of technical glitches but movement through the app is much better. The articles are great and give a good insight into the Canadian experience.
Horrible since update
Canuck in Us without News
I really regret updating this app the other day. It is horrible. Before I could select the sections I wanted to read. Not now! No choices at all. The font is too small to read as well. PLEASE put it back to the way it was.
Terrible redesign
Hater of GOOD
Drunken monkeys could have designed a better interface. It is confusing to navigate, difficult to scroll through, and takes mental gymnastics to link quotes / photos / headlines with stories. The editor's comments about the redesign are nonsensical gobblygook! Ughhhh.....so bad!
Attractive graphics but would like to access offline too

The app is a bit slow to load and requires internet connection to read the articles. I'd like less attractive graphics if it could be faster and store a copy on my phone to read anytime.
