NCR Mobile App: FAQs

What is this? 

We're introducing a mobile application on iOS and Android. This allows you to stay up-to-date with the latest news on your mobile device. 

Does it cost money? 

Our mobile app is free of charge. It was made possible in part by a generous gift by Jean and Bill Buchanan. NCR is dedicated to providing free access to its website ncronline.org, and its e-newsletters. We recognize that many readers are on fixed incomes, members of the clergy, or otherwise unable to pay to access NCR’s quality journalism. As opposed to operating a paywall like many other news outlets, NCR is advocating voluntary donations or recurring membership for those who support NCR’s mission and are financially able to make a contribution. 

What's the catch? 

Our mobile application is of simple, easy-to-use construction. It prioritizes the latest articles in a timeline. It does not allow you to view sections, and it is somewhat cumbersome to view older articles. Think of the app as a way to keep up-to-date on breaking news stories as opposed to a way to go deep, as you might do with our print edition or online edition. 

How are you using my data? 

Unlike other publications that require your entering of information to access their mobile applications, NCR does not require any personal information. We do not track your activity, store any of your information, or sell your information to any 3rd party. Your use of the NCR mobile application is as privacy centric as a mobile application can be. 

Will this affect my subscription to NCR in print? 

No! And we encourage you to continue to be an NCR subscriber in print. Print editions of NCR are essential to our publication. Some of our most loyal readers are print subscribers, NCR Forward members, and Annual Fund Contributors. 

Anything else to keep in mind? 

With the launch of our mobile app, NCR is supporting another product without adding staff or additional resources. Please keep this in mind when submitting any suggestions, complaints, or issues.
