Ratings and Reviews
Poorest customer service
I use this app on an iPad to read the Altoona Mirror. I have to login every time because there is no option to stay logged in. I tried to contact App Support but the link goes to an error page! I sent emails to various staff through the Mirror’s webpage customer service staff listings but they apparently don’t have anything to do with the app or care to pass the email on to the developer which I asked to have done.
Update from “Not seamless” to “improved”
Review update Jan 2020...experience has improved. Pages now “turn” properly. Some are slower to load than desired, but I no longer need to close and reopen the app to refresh it
Original review: Nov 2019 ...Since the recent “upgrade”, the experience has gotten much worse. Pages don’t always load. This requires closing out the app and restarting, sometimes multiple reloads, and that doesn’t always work. To turn the page requires pinching the page smaller then swiping...usually every page requires this. Pages often appear out of focus requiring another restart. Very frustrating experience, almost every morning
Needs to wok better in landscape mode
Overall, this app does a decent job of making the Altoona Mirror available on an iPad. My one largest complaint is that it does not work terribly when the iPad is rotated in landscape mode. The main (intro) page doesn't adjust at all, and the "pages" view shows a horizontal gray bar that obfuscates about one-third of the paper.
