5/5What a RELIEF!
…to read such a well crafted newspaper these days! This is so much more the way newspapers were when I was growing up - a balanced and meaningful variety of articles relevant to the times we’re living in. I still subscribe to the big two here in the states (WAPO & The NYT) but over the past decade they’ve morphed into a couple of 24-7 Trump news channels. (AllTrumpAllTheTime? Please, no)

5/5Excellent reporting Excellent app
Great reporting on relevant content. Great contributors, some of the best reporting available. The app makes it all available, easy to navigate, no fuss, minimum data use, no irrelevant graphics, plus quick downloading! I use it above all the others I've tried. Highly recommended!

5/5Globe review
I enjoy the globe on my iPhone I Travel a lot in the us and it’s great to be able access the globe and it’s low bias reporting I find the editorials and special topics columns thoughtful, non-sensational and above all minimum bias to any political direction Reminds me of some of the “better” UK papers with a slightly laid back viewpoint Great job thx

5/5Stepping up
I’m a Canadian who has lived in the US for many years. The Toronto Globe and Mail is easily on par with higher profile US papers such as the NYT and Post. Americans looking to broaden their perspective of US news by reading a foreign paper should consider this paper as it has clearly “stepped up” - becoming both Canada’s national paper and world class source for news.

5/5Among the best news resources around the “globe”
The Globe and Mail still gives meaning to journalism. Balanced, detailed reporting about a wide range of international topics. As a whole the depth of reporting is on par with, and a good compliment to, The NY Times with the upside of a lot less reporting on Trump and the incompetence of the US political scene...there’s a whole lot happening outside of the US and the Globe helps to keep me informed of that.
