I had this app for over a year. After a year the price was increased by 2000%. You can only cancel on the phone within a certain window of times. If you’re living overseas this is difficult.
Why is there a picture of a Justin Fields story in the update? Talk about a need for an update!
The app was updated thru the App Store. When I opened the updated app, a white screen. I closed the app and reopened it with the same result. Again, the same. I then uninstalled the app and downloaded a new version from the App Store. The same result. C’mon guys, can’t you get this right?
App is difficult to navigate.
Local national and world are covered extremely well
🤔🆘
the current owners has dumbed down the paper. It is being run on the cheap.
After closing a read article the screen should go back to where you last left…I shouldn’t have to search through different headings and articles.
Appreciate the great reporting on Monsanto and companies that poison Americans, especially foreign companies that poison Americans
The Tribune has traditionally the best and more original list of new restaurants
I love every story by Rick Pearson! He is the greatest!
Can’t login without having to update so I tend to look for the story elsewhere
Without a doubt this is the worst newspaper or magazine app. I suggest they start all over instead of fixing it.
Please! Keep reporting on ICE
Not only has a once great newspaper become a shell of its former self, but non-stories often appear on the front page when front page stories get buried on inside pages. It’s very perplexing. I realize the Tribune has always been editorially conservative, but it is now touching on abandoning all reasonability and responsibility. I’m not sure why I continue subscribing. And the digital edition should be automatically included with any subscription.

Finally made it so the newspaper editions are able to quickly download. However, unless app stays open, cannot access the downloaded version if not online connected! Dumbest thing ever!!! The point of downloading is to be able to access without requiring the connection else why download? Do better and find people that know how to test with real use cases.

I’ve tried cancelling my subscription but this app keeps charging me and makes it hard to switch to free account and stop paying.
What happened to the Trib’s smart conservative viewpoint. It’s now like all the others. Year in review photos was mostly “evil” ICE agents being mean to innocents.
Trib is dead, so the app matches the host.
This is by far the worst reading app I’ve come across. It’s clunky, hard to navigate , borderline unreadable. It seems obvious that Tribune wants to steer people towards the paper subscriptions where the money is.
