I subscribe to the Times and the Post, where I have frequently been outraged by the bias in their news reporting. In that context, I am constantly pleased with the news and editorial coverage that I get from the Inquirer. In particular, the Editorial page takes brave stands and ā€œtells it like it islā€ Bravo!

That Pompey keeps pumping out. He’s seems to have the inside info. He’s doesn’t always say what I want to hear. But he keeps it real. He’s not a homer he gives objective reports. I wish he could give Boxscore after the games. Seems your paper has stopped that. Sports That Pompey keeps pumping out. He’s seems to have the inside info.

How can Thompson?start this guy he is terrible if he was any good The Mets would’ve never gotten rid of him. I can’t believe he’s starting them against the Mets. It’s a loss you can count on that.

If nothing else, I would give this app 5 stars for letting me subscribe (and unsubscribe) to the Inquirer through the App Store, which means I don’t have to call and fight with a retention specialist if I ever want to cancel. Fortunately, the app itself is fantastic to use. Performs well on iPhone and iPad, and has a great ā€œfull newspaperā€ view that lets you easily find articles you want to read and tap into them for a full page read. 5 Stars Just for Using App Store Subscriptions If nothing else, I would give this app 5 stars for letting me subscribe (and unsubscribe) to the Inquirer through the App Store, which means I don’t have to call and fight with a retention specialist if I ever want to cancel.Fortunately, the app itself is fantastic to use.

Thank you for being my hometown rag, and stoked to see the dark mode setting in newer versions. I often read news in the dark so it’s a setting I enjoy.
