WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Worse after an update32%

23 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Usually perfect but the latest update keeps logging me out.
★★★★★ Update: Fixed issue of links from Internet mostly now allowing the app to open up with my sub (except linked articles from Facebook still don't recognize my sub).
★★★★★ Fingers crossed for an app update soon.
Price and subscription25%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If customers can sign up for a subscription online, they should be able to cancel that same subscription online as well.
★★★★★ It is right for any citizen to know without paying for subscription.
★★★★★ I'm a subscriber and it's paid for and still I've been turned off. Not good.
Crashes and freezes21%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ And when I find something to read, it crashes.
★★★★★ Every update this app seems to get worse in terms of stability. When it works I love it. But that's 20% of the time.
★★★★★ Since updating my iPhone 5s to ios 8, the app crashes on opening, i.e.
Bugs, things not working16%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've had this app for several years now, and I am getting tired of clicking on a story, reading it, and then when I “x” out of it, I am taken to a group of stories way down in the app. I then have to go back to the top…
★★★★★ In typical fashion you update the app and don't test it first. Crashes on launch. Useless !!!!!
★★★★★ How could you have released this app when it is so full of bugs it is unusable.
Too many ads10%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ More ads in the new version as well.
★★★★★ The first thing I see when starting this app are ads.
Missing features7%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This app, beyond its lack of content, is not accessible to those with low vision.
★★★★★ Missing sections, poor layout are just the beginning....
★★★★★ Many sections are missing (national, politics, world, etc.).
Limits, credits, locked features5%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The articles are locked, what did I pay for????
★★★★★ Too much of it is locked.
★★★★★ A limit on sections one can choose is ludicrous.
Wrong or poor results5%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The individual she refers to with such grace has been fired by Astros, he was wrong with his remarks and dealt with accordingly.
★★★★★ Now it is useless without $20 per month.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Needs a major redesign or the Globe will join the CBC in the ranks of the Canadian media leftovers. 1★, Oct 13, 2014
  • Still doesn't have bells and whistles a news app should have. 4★, Apr 22, 2014

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Easy to use11%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Top journalism and easy to use app -similar to BBC.
★★★★★ The app makes it all available, easy to navigate, no fuss, minimum data use, no irrelevant graphics, plus quick downloading!
★★★★★ Slow to load, wasteful of screen space, not intuitive.
Accurate, great results8%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's a quality publication.
★★★★★ The Globe is among the very best of North American journalistic enterprises, and the capabilities of their app is evidence of this commitment to quality.
★★★★★ Works great on my iPhone and easy way for me to keep up with all things Canadian here in Southern California!
Fun, addictive8%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ His puzzles are the perfect challenge as I've tried ALL the others..so much fun and makes learning so enjoyable!!!
★★★★★ 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…
★★★★★ I enjoy reading BBC, The Economist and der Spiegel along with The Globe and Mail.
Looks great5%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I loved the old interface; the new one is good, but can take a bit of time to load.
★★★★★ 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!
Worth the money5%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Otherwise the free news is great to read.
★★★★★ If we come to believe that the whole digital world should be free without paying the providers of the content, then the quality of the content will decline, if not disappear.
★★★★★ Ads are a bit annoying but it's free!

Usually perfect

Usually perfect but the latest update keeps logging me out. Adds a layer of annoyance.

★★★★★Feb 3, 2026
Trading contest within app

Kindly update app to include the trading contest. Thank you. Sharon

★★★★★Jan 16, 2026
Quality publication

It’s a quality publication.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2025
Needlessly difficult to cancel subscription

If customers can sign up for a subscription online, they should be able to cancel that same subscription online as well. Making customers call a phone during business hours so that a customer service rep can try to talk them out of canceling is scammy

★★★★★May 28, 2025
Terrible

I’m truly dissatisfied with the app, Apple come on!!!! The articles are locked, what did I pay for????
