Update October 8, 2024: Was working better for a whole but can't get it to open today. Tried reinstalling but no luck. Will try again in a few days. 2023: Dropping down to 3 stars due to frequent failure to load. When it works, it's easy to navigate and the stories are of high quality. Would also prefer dark mode, though, to save battery life on my phone.

I'm new in Philadelphia. This app has been a huge help to me, especially in coronavirus times... introducing me to the city in a way I can't now do on foot. Inquirer is a fine paper, and the app makes it accessible. BUT, the method for emailing yourself an article is wildly erratic! Most of the time, there is no way for me get the URL of an article to keep... HELP! Android 8.1 phone, Firefox browser.

Articles are great, the main issue is that I can't always read them. The ads and photos load fine, but the text doesn't load until I press randomly near where the text should be. This often presses an ad instead, so that's incredibly annoying. I'm also not super fond of how many ads are put in the articles when I'm paying so much per month.
