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.

I do really like having the app at all and staying connected to local news - it's way easier to get into reading news with regularity on mobile - but it still needs a lot of work. There's no search function, and I can't save articles or share them if I access them through a push notification, and finding them again can be a pain in part because of the aforementioned missing search function. For a while I couldn't see older articles at all, and when I can it doesn't load smoothly.

Links consistently take me to the wrong stories. Login glitches. Most recently trying to read an article and the page kept bouncing from it seems ad generation and presentation. Looks like this feedback is common. Pagination issues. All the above persist. Really annoying. Login won't stick from anywhere other than the app and it's awful. No bug fixes recently and it seems they don't care. Weighing uninstall and stopping my service.
