Ratings and reviews

For whatever reason, this app does not support the "swipe down to force a refresh" function that practically every other Android news app supports. Additionally, and not sure if this is a Chrome or Globe app issue, but trying to view the G & M desktop site from Chrome on my Android device automatically launches the Globe app. This is a new issue in the last month or two, and essentially means that if I want to see or post comments to a Globe article, I must use a PC or laptop ONLY.

The app falls short of its potential. I was quite looking forward to the read article function, until I realized that the screen had to be active for it to play. Either screen 'off' times had to be extended or every minute I had to touch my screen. Would have made much more use of it if it had that basic functionality. As a result, didn't use it very much and cancelled my subscription (a ridiculous process that has to be done by phone rather than online).

App works, but the service is awful. I cancelled it after a year and they kept charging me. Btw, cancellation must be through phone, so there's no paper trail. Never again.
