It gets harder and harder to enjoy the N&O app. The newest update (10/29/25) does not work and there is no explanation why it doesn’t. Very frustrating.

Once again, the app won’t download all articles, leading to an endless hatched spinning circle for 1 in 5 to 10 articles. Nothing seems to help this. The content of the paper is 5 stars but they still can’t get the app right. Additionally, on the air (sports listings) NEVER downloads. To see it, you need to look at the print edition. Ridiculous.

If you set out to create the worst newspaper app on the web, this would be it. Unstable. Inconsistent. Poorly designed. The Triangle deserves better than this. A total mess. Minus stars.

I’ve read the N&O for many years. Their app has always been awkward to use, but for the past several months, it can’t play any videos in the articles. As more articles have video included, this is getting more annoying, but videos just don’t play on my up to date iPhone.

Using an iPad Air M2 with 18.2.1 software. Read the e edition version. Article scrolling is inconsistent, sometimes it scrolls between articles and other times it just shows a blank page. When on a blank page you have to go back/forward 5 or 6 articles and then you can get the article to load. Have tried multiple settings, and delete and installed the app several times.

The app is pretty lame all around but I can’t get the video section to work at all.

I uninstalled and reinstalled today, but the app crashes as soon as it opens. I have used the app for years on my ipad, but never had this issue. The "app support" link in the store just takes you to a subscription service page. No place to get tech help is offered.

All I get is a white screen then a crash in the new iOS 17. Update: after a few days this issue was fixed. App is great now.

I can read the News and Observer newspaper on my iPhone but can’t open it on my iPad. Both devices are new and up to date. Any solutions? Kind of a bummer because I don’t get the physical paper. PRobably going to cancel if I can’t resolve soon, even though I believe in supporting the local news.
