The Globe and Mail Reviews

by SimpleManWithSimpleNeeds

As I scroll through the list Of stories, I see lots of good stuff, and then as I continue I can’t help but noticing that the ‘good stuff’ keeps repeating. But what makes it annoying is that there is still stuff that is new. Re-presenting stories that I don’t want to read prevents me from finding stores that I do. How about you present the story once and if I want to read it, I will. You don’t need to try to trick me into it later.

Then there’s notifications. I have mine set to breaking news only. I keep getting “the Sunday morning read” and other editorial content pushed to me. Don’t want that. Stated I didn’t.

Then unsubscribing is deliberately difficult. Most apps let you do it, or you do it thru App Store. This one you have to dig around to find the number and then call. Very annoying.

I am a paying subscriber. However, I still have to deal with pop-up ads that pop open in Safari after an errant touch on the screen while scrolling through an article. Aggravating.

Lots of problems have existed with TheGlobeandMail forever and they never get fixed despite major overalls.

For instance, if you click on a notification, usually it won’t actually take you to that article. It just takes you to the main page. Really. What’s the point of having those alerts?

It’s almost as bad as the website. Wish I could give zero stars.

I’m a subscriber who normally accesses the G & M on my desktop computer. I saw and downloaded TheGlobeandMail to my iPad, logged in with no problem — but clicking links on homepage takes me to screen stating content isn’t available.

In iOS 13.1.1 if you select dark mode articles render with grey text on a black background. It makes it very difficult to read the articles. I like dark mode. I like reading the Globe on my phone. I want both. Seems like it should be a simple fix. Fingers crossed for an app update soon.

The content is great and the interface is mostly fine but I’m always accidentally opening a pop up that takes me to Safari. It’s very annoying and distracts from an otherwise great app.

Globe and Mail is a premier news outlet in Canada, and TheGlobeandMail allows the user to easily keep up with Canadian current events.

If you have dark mode turned on , hide your eyes. TheGlobeandMail does not honor that system-wide setting.
iOS 13 has been beta for almost 8 months, what have you guys been doing all this time. Dark mode was not a last minute surprise, but yet you are treating it as such.

A wonderful newspaper that too few Americans know about.

I’m a Canadian who has lived in the US for many years. The Toronto Globe and Mail is easily on par with higher profile US papers such as the NYT and Post. Americans looking to broaden their perspective of US news by reading a foreign paper should consider this paper as it has clearly “stepped up” - becoming both Canada’s national paper and world class source for news.

TheGlobeandMail is easy to use. Navigation is slick, pictures are great and it is very current. Well done!

I find the news in the Globe and Mail to be clear and succinct.
It is an excellent source for the news ..here and around the world.

by Scragglegs

All the years I lived in the US I somehow, even before the internet, stayed connected with Canada. The Globe and Mail helped. It reflects us and our culture well.

This too old to be a Canadian from south of the border appreciates how flawlessly TheGlobeandMail works. I am impressed at the coverage of news in and around Ontario and around the rest of Canada.

As an American, I have always admired The Globe's objective and succinct reporting, especially on issues of both Canada and the United States. I use The Globe as my primary news source to stay up-to-date.

I enjoy the globe on my iPhone
I Travel a lot in the us and it’s great to be able access the globe and it’s low bias reporting
I find the editorials and special topics columns thoughtful, non-sensational and above all minimum bias to any political direction
Reminds me of some of the “better” UK papers with a slightly laid back viewpoint
Great job thx

by ChrisThomerson

Great reporting on relevant content. Great contributors, some of the best reporting available. TheGlobeandMail makes it all available, easy to navigate, no fuss, minimum data use, no irrelevant graphics, plus quick downloading!
I use it above all the others I've tried. Highly recommended!

TheGlobeandMail gives a good overview of major news stories in Canada along with diverse opinion columnists. Unlike a competing app, it plays nicely with my iPod.

by Cunningpaul

Great content. But....Why oh why can I not simply open links texted to me of G&M stories straight from my iOS app (like all my other apps)??? Instead, clicking on these links brings me to the paywalled browser website version of G&M that doesn’t recognize my existing digital membership so I cannot read the article. I then need to search TheGlobeandMail to find the same article so I can read it in its entirety on my phone. So frustrating. It’s 2021 - fix this pls!!!
