Greedy
They started to charge to read the little news that occurs in Marin. I liked keeping update on my old stomping ground but your insane if you think I am paying for it, had to delete the app now that it's useless.
News for Subscribers Only
I've used this app for over a year. This month (Apr 2015) the format changed (with no notice) so that only paid subscribers can read news stories. Non-subscribers can see headlines only. It was nice to keep up on local news, but guess I'll hope for another source for that now.
Also, the new format does not fix a problem that this app has had the entire time I've used it: it takes several minutes to load current content. So each time you open the app, it shows you the headlines that were there the last time you opened the app (perhaps 3 days prior). And then you wait several minutes for it to update. :-/
I've kept the app for now to use the live traffic map (helpful), but if I find another app for that purpose, I guess I'll delete it.

Press+ account required
This app only works for a little while before you are required to have a Press+ account to view articles making it useless dead weight for the average user.
Horrible!
This upgrade has made the Ij even worse to read on the phone, crashed all the time. I don't recommend getting it. Very disappointed
Not useable
Forced to upgrade in order to use app. After trying to open and crashing a dozen times, I reinstalled after deleting. Unfortunately, it still crashed, so I deleted the app and bookmarked the web page instead.
Not working at this time
Was a fairly decent website until a couple of days ago. Now it's not working at all.
Press pass is ridiculous
I was enjoying the app a lot actually, until I ran into the press pass you have to subscribe to. I don't understand this since I can just go onto the main website and see all the news anyway. When I was doing this, I was notified to install the app multiple times, so I did. Now I run into not being able to view the news I want. Sorry, just me ranting but I call shenanigans.

Decent App...Room for Improvement
Yes, you have to pay for a subscription to access the content in the app. It's far less expensive than having a newspaper delivered to your home and much more convenient. That being said, I'd like to see more content added to the app. I enjoy the articles and would like more of them and more frequent updates.

Not paying for a subscription
Deleting this from my phone. This app is so janky- half the stories don't load, pictures are missing, and bad grammar.
Quasi Useful
App needs the ability to comment, expand photos, remove intrusive ads, consolidated calendar of events, push urgent notifications/news. I would pay for a subscription if the app wasn't so weak. Please step up the game IJ.
