### 3/5 — Quirky App

*2026-05-04, version 8.9.0*

Enjoy getting the local news on my phone but the app is often fritzy to operate. It often doesn’t work as it should and it can take some effort to figure out how to get the paper to load

### 1/5 — broken

*2025-12-25, version 8.6.0*

will not work on ipad. paid full year through itunes and it will not let me access paper

### 2/5 — Please change this policy

*2025-07-07, version 8.1.0*

In the Sports section, you used to show the Sports on TV listings in Central time, but now it is listed in Eastern Time.   This is really inconvenient and quite frankly, a bit of a slap in the face.   This is Texas, not New York.  

Please adjust the times listed to the correct Central Time - either use AI or do it the old-fashioned way.

### 5/5 — Return to the previous version!!!

*2025-06-14, version 8.1.0*

I liked it more when the display looked like the printed page!! I can’t find anything I used to read!! Very disappointed with this new app. Frank J. Palacino

### 3/5 — Review

*2025-04-19, version 8.1.0*

I like cc Times but I am reading old news since you switched to Houston printing. I have a digital subscription. Format is fine, but since I am a crossword puzzle user, I have to take a screenshot to do it. The Sunday one is impossible on my iPad, which is what I have. Also, the digital issue does not give you coupons. The subscription cost is too high for late news. I keep the subscription just because I have always had it. But I should cancel it. I also have NY Times subscription and it is my source for what is happening now.

### 5/5 — Great enews !

*2025-04-13, version 8.1.0*

One of the best out there!

### 5/5 — Luv Caller Times

*2025-04-03, version 8.1.0*

As long time citizens of Corpus Christi, we appreciate the work of the Caller Times. It is a nice combination of current local news, local sports, national headlines and comics, etc. We particularly enjoy This Day in History and stories about historical Corpus Christi.

### 4/5 — My Thoughts

*2025-04-03, version 8.1.0*

I like how you try to engage the reader with the app.  The local coverage is a bit light.  But I know there are limited resources.
