Keep Cape Cod Times Local

I have read the Cape Cod Times for 40 years, and count on this resource to help be connected to our community. Since the sale to Gannett, there has been a noticeable increase in national stories, at the sacrifice of local news and events. I am impressed with our local reporters, who still bring us wonderful news and stories! I think they work hard, and serve us very well. It is up to Gannett to provide the paper with enough local staff to get the local job done, and not rely on using too much generic national news to increase corporate profits. So far, they are walking a delicate line, and our friends and neighbors notice this.

This paper is uplifting

The Cape Cod Times has been sold to USA Today. It reports the news of Cape Cod. Before it was sold there were always funny stories of crazy things that happened on the Cape. It was always fun to read the paper with a cup of coffee while sitting on the deck. I miss the funny stories but the news is still there. I’m now reading it on my tablet instead of having a real paper in my hands. There’s usually an uplifting story or two and I can find out what is happening on Cape Cod.

Haven’t quite figured this out

I was doing ok with the old digital issue until this NEW edition of digital issue. I think If I use the “browsing” button, I can see and read the paper more easily. I’ll be interested in the new comic strips coming soon!

Your new app stinks

Your new app is horrible, does not deserve one star. Why do we have to endure ads when we pay for a subscription? The screen is very touchy and puts you all over the place . Can isolate an article but cannot enlarge on the page to just review. I have other online subscriptions ( Boston Globe etc) which are easy and more pleasurable to read . To say nothing of the fact that it’s basically USA Today with a different front page heading. Seriously considering this cancellation of this subscription to get local news elsewhere, if this app doesn’t improve. Adding to this. Please fix this app . I dread trying to read it !

Much improved app experience

In particular, the latest version interacts much more seamlessly with links from daily emails. (Previously, it was easy to get lost in a bunch of prompts as to whether you wanted to view the story in the app or in a browser, only to lose the article you were trying to view.)

Unnecessary steps to manage access

Although our Cape Cod Times account has existed since the 60”s, the connection fails to work numerous times each month. Sometimes, it asks me to sign in. Then, it addresses me by name but then requires me to fill in all my information again. Unlike other apps, this one has required me to change my password every once in a while after refusing mine. I keep a printed list of passwords and do not “forget” them!

Great Local News, Weather and Sports

The Cape Cod Times app delivers great local news, weather and sports. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is grab my iPad off the bedside table and check the Cape Cod Times app to see what’s going on. I can’t start my day without it. And I always get a kick when I see that there is a new Curious Cape Cod column to read.

Pathetic

I bought the 6- month subscription and have not had access to the digital subscription. I show the purchase through my credit card records of which Cape Cod Times “has no records” - this being stated by their customer service after having great difficulty in reaching anyone. So, still, every time I “receive the new edition”, I am still blocked with the request to subscribe. I am at the point where I don’t even care anymore whether or not I get their news; too much of a struggle!

Horribly glitchy

The newest version’s e-paper is terrible. It freezes and is loaded with ads. I’m paying for the app, why should I have ads in the middle of articles. And why do I have to close and restart the app several times a day just to get through the news. Old app was much better. C’mon Gannet-you already got rid of most of the local staff. The least you can do is give us an app that works!

Cape cod Times always interesting

I read the CC Times every day. They always cover the breaking news but they also have interesting local news about hikes and ecological effects of weather and global warming.

Last for one day

Every day I have to delete the app and reload from the cloud in order to continue reading more then five articles. Not worth the subscription fee.

Like it!

New subscriber/new Cape second home owner. Bought the digital only edition. Interesting coverage of the Cape and a welcome entertaining respite from the gloomy national news.

Great regional Newd

The Cape Cod Times keeps residents up to date on local and national news. CC residents can find out all the local and national seashore info. The virtual subscription gives all the info if you are on Cape or traveling and saves the disposal of a. Pile of newsprint.

Hardly usable

This app is hardly usable. It scrolls on its own and jumps between different zoom levels making articles difficult to read. There are popup ads even with a subscription and when the ads appears in full page view it sometimes cannot be closed forcing you to restart the app. I am on the verge on deleting the app and canceling my subscription.

Little Clunky

I find it a little clunky to read the paper online. The home page doesn’t stroll nicely and the e-version doesn’t let you read it as a newspaper article but rather as a side article in a word document format. But it is better than nothing.

Not a change for the better

I was prompted to install the new app and I wish I had not. Pop up ads blocking content, pages not aligned to the screen, articles that disappear while trying to read them… maybe this was not created to be read on a phone screen. If the quality of this app does not improve, I will sadly have to cancel my subscription.

Latest version with popup ads stinks

I liked the app before, I have a paid newspaper subscription. Suddenly this week I’m directed to new version which has popup ads all over. Also the new navigation arrow buttons take away screen real estate making it harder to read. Hope they get it back on par with prior versions.

Why isn’t todays paper available all day????

This app is practically useless!! Around noon or before it converts from todays paper to a few stories and doesn’t hardly update from day to day outside of a few stories . Some of the subscriber stories remain for about a week. It’s about time you have todays paper available all day . Thank you

New cape times app

Very user unfriendly. Pages jump around. Very touchy. When I try enlarge an article the whole page jumps to super large. Then freezes. A lot of extra effort to read an article and the whole paper. Do not like the new app at all. May be deciding factor upon renewal.

New App Really Stinks

I agree with Mr. Walsh. This app is absolutely terrible. The most unfriendliest thing we’ve ever tried to work with. There’s not even deserve one star.

If you live here it is as essential as town water.

Keep up with what’s going on in our unique community. That’s it

The new app is horrible. I give it negative stars

The changes to the epaper app are terrible, practically unusable. The banner ads that pop up continuously hang up my reader, I haven’t made it through the entire paper since I was forced to update by the continuously annoying prompts. Please let me read my paper in peace!

Unusable e-edition

The new e-edition is prettier much unusable. The old one allowed seamless scrolling and zooming and had clear type. The new one has jumbled type, constantly bounces you out to the non-replica edition, and is generally an early morning exercise in aggravation. Likely to cancel if I can’t use the old version of the print replica.

Accessibility

I would give the stories more stars if I could read them. I won’t log in every time I want to read—in today’s case the Japanese taking over the… Um, the… I forget.

I liked the prior e-paper

The newer version does not work as smoothly as the prior one.

Terrible APP

Sometimes newer is not better. This new version is awful. Did anyone get user feedback? The old version is much easier to read, no annoying ads when you first log on. Please keep the old version

Confusing

I just want to read the paper, even if it is propaganda. I just want to go page by page. I don’t want to buy sports tickets, movie or theatre tickets. Very confusing, not user friendly. I will stick to reading it online.

Not good

It’s really hard to sign in to and always says there is a problem. Also I can’t see a lot of the pictures that I should be able to. I really wish this app was better. For $40 a year I think it should be.

Terrible App

Where’s the old version of the Cape Cod Times e-edition? Too many adds with the replica of the daily edition! This app is not worth any stars. Bring back the older version or at least give us the choice between the two.

Meh

eNewspaper doesn’t always load, the ads always do though so there’s that. Just an overall slow and clunky app.

Hard to navigate

Can’t find the articles of local and world news. Can’t find classified ads, obituaries etc! Pages are peppered with advertising. No local tide charts. Just just big business not caring for local Cape Codders

Terrible on an iPad

This replaced a perfectly good reading experience. This app is difficult to navigate without pages expanding or contracting randomly, sometimes several times in a row.

Not liking new capecod times

I’m very disappointed with the new version of the times on line. Everything is jumbled together. And the obituaries are all over the place and repeated two and three times . Going back to the original etimes.

No Cape Cod Times available

July 16 version of CCT is unavailable. Only USA Today. I don’t want USA Today, I subscribe to the CCT for local news. There seems to be no recourse as to notifying anyone about this. If I can’t get the paper I subscribe to I will cancel my subscription.
