The Post and Courier Reviews

This latest version will not automatically update the issue and I must delete ThePostandCourier , reinstall and sign in before being able to read that day’s newspaper. Navigation is still unnecessarily complex compared to the original version that I used for years with no complaints. If you touch the screen any way ThePostandCourier doesn’t like, the screen locks on maximum size and the user must go to the next page, go back to the previous page and touch it to read at normal size. My current iPads work seamlessly with all other apps. The only solution I see is to ditch this update and go back to an earlier version that actually works.

Anyone using ThePostandCourier will find that for the most part it works, but then all of a sudden the image will jump to close a page or the type size will expand and consume the whole screen. The only way out is to close ThePostandCourier and open it again.

I give up, I found a year old story via browser and unable to open it, then a teaser of a few words and a prompt to login. Searching same keywords in search option in ThePostandCourier - pathetic, it can’t find anything. Support doesn’t exist. No matter how much and who to I reported, it is what it is. If you quit as a customer - they don’t care. You can brag about your Pulitzer Prize. You deserved it because an excellent journalism or a political mainstream. But you customer service and app management is seriously lacking responsibility and action. And no developer feedback to most concerns? So one star review.

Other than a minuscule amount of local (charleston-related) news, most of what is found in the P&C is recycled AP articles. Anything related to SC history pertaining to slavery is pulled up front and center and written to inflict white guilt on the weak-minded reader. This goes hand in hand with the divisive Left-wing dogma that is infused into every single article that deals with politics.

ThePostandCourier is to difficult to use. When you zoom in, it is difficult to adjust size or zoom out. When you are finished reading articles on a page the forward button just keeps returning to the first article in the page instead of moving to the next one.
However, the most frustrating part for me is that if I am signed into ThePostandCourier and I click on an imbedded article ThePostandCourier makes me sign in again.
Please fix these issues to make reading your paper mor enjoyable.

I despise these pop up adds. I also despise giving this paper the authority to sell my information at your will before I can read it even though i have paid for it. When I pay for something, It should be mine to do as I want. Probably, Most likely my last year of this paper.

This one has been buggy since the release and there seems to be no end in sight. Using it for epaper access is a daily nightmare of page zooming, page advancing, and readability issues. App changes seem to prioritize areas that do not address the long standing problems. It’s disappointing that no one associated with the newspaper seems to “eat their own food” or the content and navigation issues would be addressed sooner.

Although I’m a paid subscriber, my email is flooded with dozens of notices daily about articles, but it stops you after the first paragraph and asks you to subscribe. Then you go to ThePostandCourier on your phone and can’t find the article you were interested in reading. Stick to a real newspaper. This isn’t worth your time or money. They haven’t figured out how to “digitize” their news.

I’ve been a subscriber for more than two years and I’ve always found ThePostandCourier clunky but now the links to login are all broken. Whether I try to login via the link on a story in on settings on ThePostandCourier , I get a broken link message. I can sign in just find on the internet.

Navigating between the news feeds of different areas of the state used to be easy. Annoying, in that statewide issues were occasionally buried in the feed for one particular area, so that you needed to look at all Greenville, Columbia and Charleston feeds, but at least easy to do. Please bring back the older version.

ThePostandCourier remains buggy. Pages expand out of control, requiring an exit from the page or ThePostandCourier , just to get it back to normal. Now, for the second time in recent days, the front page is missing from the e edition.
Please fix ThePostandCourier.

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 ThePostandCourier.

Had a decent app prior to this version. Current app is a disaster. Page turning is maddingly slow. Print function does not work. Cannot access puzzles by clicking on page.
ThePostandCourier is a step backwards from previous one and should be scrapped. Don’t try to fix something that is not broke.

I keep subscribing to the P&C to support the journalism, but I’m reading it less and less with the consolidated App. Difficult to navigate and read the e-paper in the new app. Slow to update to newest day. More clicks to get to the section and stories I want to read. Buggy.

I use ThePostandCourier to read the Post and Courier every day. The inconsistency of navigation and selecting articles to read is very frustrating. Sometimes an article will open in full reading mode, sometimes one will open as a picture that cannot be scaled for improved reading, and sometimes they don’t open separately.

Works ok for me. Except for links within articles of previous articles that sound interesting. Clicking on the link brings up a subscribe page, so you can’t actually read the linked article. Annoying.
Same thing with the email newsletter. You can’t click on interesting articles because you will be blocked by the subscribe page.

ThePostandCourier is hard to us. The website is much better for ease in reading the paper. We have the digital subscription so we can read on a variety of devices. The updated app will not permit us to finish logging in when using our IPad or tablet. Logging in is ‘iffy’ on our phones, but, usually works. I suggest using the website and skipping ThePostandCourier .

always has several interesting articles for me to read— always look for to the outdoor column on Sunday

The Post and Courier gives pertinent information on issues that impact the state and my area specifically. They do a great job!

I want to cancel my subscription for the above noted reason.
