Customer Reviews

Great pics, horrible app. $3 bookmark. (1 star)
While I enjoy the great photography of the BIG PICTURE, this app is absolutely the biggest rip off to date. All it does is open a browser to boston.com website. It's a $3 bookmark. If you're capable of making a bookmark in Safari, avoid this app. It does provide anything more than what you already get in a browser. For free, this app would still be just a bookmark. For $3, it's a scam.

Laggy (1 star)
The LEAST, the very least they could have done is pre-load subsequent pictures. I'm a big fan of the website, this app made me hate them a little bit. If you're a fan like me, stay the heck away from this app!

Doesn't work, false advertising (1 star)
I can't swipe through the galleries, and now it just opens the website. The indicator at the bottom of the screen shows that I've swiped to the next gallery, but I still see the same title and main image. When I launch a gallery, it just takes me to the Boston.com website. I expected an experience like the Guardian or NY Times apps. The screenshots in the app store don't show the app just pulling up the website. They show an attractive photo
