Worst app ever
Now, the app won’t even open on the latest iPad 9.7.
Previously— I have been sending the TU corrective suggestions for a couple of years, and the same problems continue to plague the iPad app.
Spillover of type has been corrected and then failed again and again. Recently, a new goof has appeared -- click on business and get sports.
Also, recently, there were entire sections missing. I have given up reporting these errors, because it's frustrating enough to have to deal with them and my reporting doesn't seem to matter enough to fix the problems permanently.Show lessTroyPolloi
Times Union
I thoroughly enjoy it. However, since the latest iOS upgrade, there is a glitch with the crosswords. Clues and arrows do not appear in the horizontal bar just below the puzzle. Thus, navigating is harder and some clues are too long to appear in their totality in the lists of clues. Thank you ahead of time for correcting that.Show lessMAB49
Great alternative to print
I like the app, with one exception. The obituaries do not display correctly. Clicking on a name will often bring a blank page. Sometimes going to another name and then back to the original will work. Other times...nothing! And this has been a consistent problem! Swiping through on the page will sometimes be ok, but then clicking on the display to show the full write-up often will yield a blank as well.Show lessUpstate Jeff
Times Union
I switched over to the electronic edition and have been very happy. It's easy to check in on the local news, and the 'swipe' to each section makes navigating pretty seamless. I have not had any of the problems described by other reviewers, but I only use the app 2-3 times per week to stay on top of local news.Show lessS. Patula
The app works as it should
I'm at a loss to understand the negative reviews. I've used the app for over two years and have never experienced the problems described by the unhappy reviewers. I have found that all of the features work, and work well. The app makes reading the paper easy and enjoyable.Microenvironment
Great app
This is a great app. It's exactly what newspapers should do to stay up with the digital world. I hope that this is a trend in the industry. Newspaper's are position perfectly to provide us with in-depth coverage and the Times Union does that so very well. Combining a newspaper's indepth coverage with digital content, such as video, up-to-date weather and breaking news stories is a win-win.Show lessmpdb2
Great when I am out of town!
This very nice to look at when we are away. We can stay updated, and not have to wait to return, and have to skim through 5 or 6 papers. I only wish it had the jumble words from the paper copy. I do have to update every day or it takes a longer time. Much better than other online local papers in Capital area.Show lessRickxxxxxxx
OK when it works
Useful when it downloads correctly. Unfortunately download problems happen 2-3 times a month - a pain for those of us that don't have a lot of time. When it works, this is a good app for those that want to quickly scan the news and then get more in-depth information elsewhere.freneg
Good app but 2 issues
Love this app but two issues must be addressed. First is that opening up app in the morning is a problem. Sometimes it won't open up at all and I don't get to read the paper. Second, having ads blocking portions of an article that I am reading and being unable to move it out of the way. Fix these two issues and I will be a very happy customer.Show lessCheryla437

I really enjoy this app. While my wife enjoys reading the print copy of the Times Union, I have not picked up a paper copy in a long time. This app works great with my I-pad. It is ergonomic and intuitive. It provides an excellent overview of all the stories via the handy content sidebar, and allows easy jumping between stories. I especially enjoy the ability to see the whole batch of pictures that go with each story. In my opinion this is the future of newsprint media! Great Job!Show lessBob Callahan
