This app is very slow to update and often has stories a couple of days old             Slow to update LinSawDec
I subscribed to the newspaper to see the version as issued That works beautifully However every few months it requires me to login and will not take my documented credentials and the contact us doesn t go anywhere The forget password option never sends me an email It is very inconvenient to manage the call in password reset             Got rid of newspaper replica and now can t get info JSB_CPA
The previous app was intuitive and very easy to use This new app is terrible     Big step backward Eronc
You make it hard to navigate unfamiliar Please fix it     Why not 6 0 3 that version was comfortable and easy to use Retired & golfing
After being hounded to upgrade the app I finally did so Now it crashes upon opening and I can t even use it Ugh                     Why did I upgrade N8ivNYer
I love the new design of the app Colorful informative easy to read What a pleasant surprise Congrats on the new design The e edition of the paper is there as well if you are a fan of the paper layout Please do yourself a favor give the hometown app a chance You will not be disappointed I love e edition extra An in depth look at the news of the day Bravo                     WOW Now even better JuggDj
I want the old Charlotte Observer APP returned I am being required to sign in each time I want to read the paper I liked reading my digital subscription in the printed newspaper format The new format is unreadable poorly constructed and just awful The Observer was hoodwinked if they paid any money to whomever designed this new unimproved daily format     Charlotte Observer app Miss Blue Shoes
This is what happens when you let left left leaning ultra liberal arts majors try to play business     Typical of their work unliberal
This will be the straw that broke the camel s back for me causing me to finally cancel my subscription to the Charlotte Observer after decades They have managed to make it unreadable in this app     Atrocious Brandon Uttley | Go For Launch
If the O had hired a committee of idiots and paid them 1 million to design the ugliest most distracting and unreadable app in history they could not have come close to achieving the perfection of badness that is this split screen monstrosity     Astonishingly bad HLTNC
The new UI buries the e edition so deep that you have to go through the mess of the Menu to find it The old version gave you the option to open which experience you wanted They need to re enable that feature for more stars         Bring back e edition at start up GadgetJoseph
I liked to read the online version of the paper in its published form however that feature isn t included in this upgrade What s left is a useless mish mash If I wanted dullminded videos of news stories I d just watch the local nitwit news shows The app is useless Keep this up Charlotte Observer and you ll soon be out of business     Useless CLTtraveler60
To much graphics and stuff Older version easier to read and navigate Driving me to find newer outlet for local news     Hard to read former observer reader
Did a grade school student do this new app No I think they would have done a better job     Horrible Mrcalfee
I think the Observer needs to understand their target audience I want to read news That s why I still get the paper delivered to my house for goodness sake The old one was better     If I wanted video I would use the YouTube app drvespa
I always enjoy reading the news on Charlotte Observer Only problem I have was increasing using video on websites I couldn t understand any words they said Since I am deaf they don t provide accommodation due of need of close captions CC or subtitle                     Close caption subtitle on video Sobatman
This thing is terrible Might be worst app upgrade I ve ever seen Can t find anything now among this cluttered mess     Seriously sfcsc
May have to cancel This looks like the fake news and ads on FB I want to read the paper not see little videos     Disappointed Past 60
I didn t love the old UI but the new one is somehow worse There are far too many ads and their placement is distracting The app is frustrating to navigate and looks very unappealing As a consumer this app does absolutely nothing for me and its sole purpose seems to be to generate ad revenue by capitalizing on accidental taps Uninstalled     Cluttered mess Yagermeister333
This app is terrible Very hard to use and does not provide the e edition of the day s paper     App Clt.vuh
Who was in charge of redesigning this app They should be fired I just want to get my news The visual clutter of this redesigned app makes that almost impossible Please bring back the old app     Really Nick Walsh Jr
Where is the digital version                 Terrible Nrwharris
You should be embarrassed don t get me started on the pop up ads for games Where are the comics Big time fail     What a hot mess clt curmudgeon
This new version is really really bad It s only success is to get me to move on to other news sources for Charlotte     Terrible not improved Mallwalker001
This is horrible What happened to the digital edition     Absolutely Awful Snobby Ripes
Completely worthless can t find obituaries comics or puzzles I want to see what I use to see fancy glitz not keeping me as customer     Quit paper edition and ready to cancel online edition MJLeva
What happened to my paper I can t tell where anything is Every up grade makes it worse Just give me the option to read the paper people who want an app can have an app     Hate it Mezzz2908
Unusable     Unusable billsopinion
Bye     Not user friendly Eff you and goodbye
I have had this app on my iPad for several years however every time I try to use it I cannot find the sections i want to read Today I tried the latest software version In my opinion it is worse than before so I am deleting this app from my iPad     Not worth the space on my iPad Fan of backgammon
And unable to load content     Doesn t work crashes Steelecrique
I expected much more from this app Of course seeing the lousy business practices of McClatchy Co and more specifically The Charlotte Observer it s really no surprise Quite honestly it s rather the norm for them anymore Can t find anything and very difficult to find a specific article especially since there is no search bar If you can t run with the big dogs stay on the porch Take a lesson from The NY Times app now that s a great app And before you go thinking I m from up north I m not I m from right here in Charlotte         Not surprised at all Kimber61
Wish I could recycle this app Absolutely the worst reading app No wonder newspapers are dying Get with it Charlotte Observer It s 2017 I was forced to give it 1 star     Recycle JRP1122334556677
Good              Good
Same as other reviews App is very subpar but It functioned and I used it to check local headlines once or twice a week With this latest update not only do they now want you to pay for access there is no explanation of the payforcontent system or how it works in the app No warning the app was going to become a pay for content app Nada Not to mention you can use safari or any browser to access the same pages online at no charge If you are going to charge for content put a little more effort into the app quality and consider how an end user feels when there is no explanation and suddenly an app that was free is now asking for a paid log in     Pay for what
Upgrade is perfect for now                 Pretty good stuff
Clean is the perfect word Thank you                 So much better
The new layout has a clean design that is easier to navigate and read Cloud icon in the upper left corner is slightly misleading for the local weather forecast It appears to mean cloud storage Icon should be a cloud and sun combination to better portray weather                 New clean and flat layout
I would have given it zero if available Requires you to buy their service to read an article     Useless
What does the red ball with a numeral in it mean     Subscriber
This app has too many submenus Many of the secondary or submenus have redundant content This makes your app incredibly frustrating to useyouve completely abandoned the KISS methodology with your latest update Too many free news outlets available to frustrate customers with an over complicated layout        Too complicated
The Charlotte Observer is a useless news source and its app is no better Only read headlines The reporting and journalistic integrity of this paper and its publishers is a joke in the Charlotte community     Junk Newspaper and App
I can no longer see the Facebook comments on the articles on my mobile device unless I go to Full Sight A lot of pop up ads        Can no longer see the Facebook comments
Had the app for a long time and suddenly every time I would click on an article it would ask me to log into some paid service However if you go to the full site you can read all these articles for free so whats the point Not sure why this started happeningbut it is annoying and I will probably delete the app unless its fixed soon        First fine Then Fail
It appears to me that this app only want to advertise more than let you read the news     Way too much ads
Good source of Charlotte news                 Good app
U have to be kidding this is the worst do NOT download this crap Are there negative stars                 Fffffdiss
App is not that user friendly because you have to keep hitting back to go to each section and is too time consuming if you want to read more than one section They should set it up like the USA Today app        Not great functionality
This app is very poorly designed look at the New York Times app     Charlotte Observer
Yes good update Much improved              Much Better
The Charlotte Observer finally paid to update their app and its absolutely terrible Pictures are pixilated and you cant scroll through them without waiting forever for each one to load Where are the arrest records Should have spent the money hiring proof readers to edit all the misspelled context     Terrible App
No matter what I try the app avatar still shows a red superscript 5 Hard to know when there is new content Most of it is several days old at minimum     Issues with aging Articles marking them read
Site is rarely updated and has a very limited number of articles Deleted it     Worthless
Limited to 60 article views per 30 day period then requires subscription No comments available as on the full website Navigation is tedious Article pics are often omitted or very very small Just go to the full website     Little functionality
Overall its a pretty good app I just wish it had a search option to look for stories Ive read a few days ago           Okay just not great
One star only because there is not an option for no stars Newest release as of 122014 dropped an easy to navigate menu in favor of something that attempts to be streamlined but ends up being clunkier and less satisfactory than the previous menu Some of the Living sections that I read have been dropped from the menu so I have to scroll through articles that Im not interested in rather than being able to go directly to Home Garden or Faith or Style In addition the fullscreen popup ads are very annoying The app wasnt great before but it feels less readerfriendly and functional now     Completely useless
Good app              Ms H
I cant ever find a search field I spend way too much time searching for what I want to read find     Needs work
There doesnt seem to be a setting to turn off text alerts of breaking news Very annoying I will likely uninstall the app because of this arrogance that assumes I want their text messages           Harassed by text messages
Bad app from a bad excuse for journalism     LOL
What happened The app used to at least work Now it crashes upon opening even after being uninstalled and reinstalled Please fix so its at least somewhat functional     Latest version crashes immediately upon opening
Very slow on iPhone buttons dont always provide response poorly written and designed no back to previous function on many screens     Charlotte observer app not worth it
Does not refresh articlesnot a reliable site for on time newsalways articles 1 day old and beyond     Char observer
Older version better version Cant do basic things with this app Awful Refuse to use     Going backwards
Can no longer open the app as of 1016     Crashy McCrash
This is a very good app to keep up with the news in Charlotte There were times when the Top News stories were a day old but they are getting better at keeping them updated Their eedition is superb if you travel and want to read the actual paper every day              Informative App
I like it                 Good
Its a great app to have especially for a college student who cannot access a hard copy of the observerout of state                 College student
Good app for local news              Good local news
Recently updated to the new app photo section is horrible and takes forever to load Took away the arrest records too Dont waste your time getting the updated version stick with the old     Terrible update
Great local perspective presented in an easy to view and navigate format                 Great app
Its bad enough you cant read all the storiesarticles online Now I cant even read them on the app without signing up for an account Guess Ill have extra room on my iPhone after I delete this useless app     Cant read stories on the app
Count on it for Panther news                 Very informative
This app has gotten worse with each update Crashes regularly and reduced functionality I am very disappointed     Terrible updates
The original app was great Every update has gotten a little worse Now there is no way to share an article with text messaging Only email Facebook or twitter Lots of ads     This app Needs some serious updating
App now broken Please fix     App crashes Fix app
No problems on my 5s looks great                 Solid
This app needs a lot of work Also after a while it will make you pay for a subscription in order to read the stories The Charlotte Observer has lost their mind if they think I am going to pay to use this piece of trash I emailed them but did not receive a response Dont waist your time I am deleting this app     U
Since the format changed an OS 7 came out this app has been having some problems with loading and crashing However the latest updates are finally working well It is now reasonably intuitive easy to use and stabile Offline reading is pretty cool too My only complaint would be the ads on the bottom              Good update
Not bad                 Not bad
1 lost all my saved articles after the new update 2 Need more sections in sports like baseball would be nice to see MLB headlines and standings 3 Should be able to comment without a Facebook account        Not happy with upgrade
Nice upgrade but the dysfunction of the alerts kills it No matter how many stories I read the alerts wont go away           Fix the Alerts Please
I used this app for over one year and enjoyed it Now the app now requires user to have IOS 70 or higher Why I along with millions of other iPhone users am not upgrading to IOS 70 but would still like to use the app Not user friendly at all There are other apps available that are user friendly for IOS users     App not user friendly
