The Seattle Times

I love being able to read stories by my local independent paper, plus nation- and world-wide stories. The user experience needs work though. For one, there's no way for me to search for articles. Seriously? Not even a keyword search bar anywhere that I've found. Second, if I click a linked article, the app redirects me to the website page .... which usually blocks me because I'm not logged in on Chrome. I have the app, why would I be logged in on the website? These issues are a real bummer.

WAY too much redundancy, WAY too much "rant and rave". Could not have been structured more poorly. The website used to work well, included letters to the editor (which aren't available on the app). But the website has become glitchy to the point being nonfunctional. I am considering dropping the Times entirely.

This app does its job; you can read the news on a very similar format to a physical newspaper, but there isn't much more to it. Limited search abilities and menu options to find articles that interest you, and often links to other articles do not work and take you to a browser article where you are not signed in and can't read the article unless you enter your Seattle times account info. If you have a Seattle times subscription and don't want the hassle of physical papers, this is a good option.
