  • Poor service

    I canceled my print subscription and switched to online only. I do not want the paper any more. I have been trying for at least two months to get the paper carrier to stop delivering the paper. At first I called every week, then twice per week. The paper arrived again this morning. Customer service keeps saying they are escalating the matter. But the paper keeps showing up. The matter is urgent now because we are going on vacation soon and do not want that paper showing up while we are gone. TERRIBLE SERVICE! The app is really good, however. UPDATE: The delivery finally stopped. I told them it was urgent, that we were going on vacation and did not want the papers piling up. ANOTHER UPDATE: The online version lacks the Drive section, which appears in the print edition on the back of the Sports section. I really miss the Drive section. It was the first thing I turned to on Sunday morning.

  • Idiocy!

    Why does it jump from where you are to the front page when you rotate your iPad? Why does it blur the text when you swipe from one page to another…so you have to swipe back and forward again to get sharp text? I’m paying a subscription fee for access, so why is it showing a Google Ad every time I open an edition of the paper? Worse, if I don’t dismiss the ad immediately, jump to another page, THEN remember to dismiss the ad, the stupid thing jumps back to the front page! What fiend designed this behavior?

  • Is this that he San Jose Mercury News?

    In keeping with its shoddy journalism, there is no indication that this App is the SJ Mercury News. There are many publications around the world titled "Mercury News" but this news organization is too inept to tell would be purchasers of the app which news paper it represents. Fail.

  • Picture of Print Version

    I don’t want to read a print version of the Mercury News on my phone. I want to read the digital version, just like I do on the news app for many other papers. What a waste of time!

  • Can’t Load paper in app

    I’ve been using this app for over a year without any problems. Lately, when I try to read the paper, I only see a white screen that says Mercury News. I’ve tried turning off my iPad and turning it back on but it doesn’t seem to fix the issue. I’ve also removed the app from the device and reloaded it and I still can’t get the newspaper. It’s very frustrating to pay for the paper but not be able to read anything.

  • Clearing Ads

    I really hate that clearing (clicking the “x”) on the ads that randomly pop up results in the app jumping back to Page 1. And given that I am a paid Mercury news subscriber, why am I having to deal with these stupid ads anyway?

  • Improved?

    The earlier version was far better than this new improved version. Access to a network is required to read the paper whereas the earlier version downloaded the entire paper allowing it to be read offline. When articles are read one cannot go directly from one sections articles to the next sections articles. Too many quirks to be enhanced. Give me back the earlier version please.

  • The new App is full of bugs

    Cannot read the articles. They only half-load. The new format is terrible since the old version was changed. Put back the old version until you can fix the new one.

  • Worst version ever

    This version has pop up ads for subscribers that block the text of the newspaper. When you close the ad you lose you place and end up back on the home page. The logon can also be a pain. Considering canceling my subscription altogether.
