Terrible app

I used to have no problems accessing Chicago Tribune articles as part of my subscription service on my iPad. Recently, when I tried to access an article, I get a message saying this is for subscribers only even though I am a subscriber.. I login per their prompt, and even though it shows me logged in it refuses to let me read the article, stating that you need to be a subscriber to access.

New update has bugs

I like the new Navigation design but the articles view is very buggy. No headlines on articles and when iPad is in landscape view no text at all on most articles. Was this tested before you released it?

Harassing subscribers and Reid

I spent 30 minutes trying to track down two alerts. There was no obvious reason for them so I checked AI only to find out that the tribune wanted me to rate it. You flunked.

Justin Fields?

Why is there a picture of a Justin Fields story in the update? Talk about a need for an update!

Doesn’t function properly

When I am in Newspaper view and click on an article at some point the article jumps to extremely large size, making it unreadable. The only solution is to close the article and reopen. Constantly! This has been the case for years and the Trib doesn’t bother to fix it. So frustrating!

Poor

I received a notice about Covid money.
I clicked and got the response that I could subscribe or log in.
I logged in the article opened for a few seconds the. I was prompted to subscribe again or log in. Didn’t I just do that.
Your system stinks, maybe that’s why young people don’t read the Trib.
One of these days, unless your system begins to work properly, I may do the same. I have been a subscriber since 1966.

Awesome Appp

Chicago Tribune app is great! Easy to search and navigate, it is everything you would expect from the Chicago Tribune and more. Highly recommend!

This App does not have in app cancellation feature

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.

Update failed. Where’s the newspaper

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?

Difficult

App is difficult to navigate.

Reliable and prompt

Local national and world are covered extremely well

Drinking city water for 60 years with lead pipe is that bad?

🤔🆘

International news

the current owners has dumbed down the paper. It is being run on the cheap.

Closing An Article

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.

Great reporting

Appreciate the great reporting on Monsanto and companies that poison Americans, especially foreign companies that poison Americans

Restaurant recommendations

The Tribune has traditionally the best and more original list of new restaurants

More Rick Pearson

I love every story by Rick Pearson! He is the greatest!

Stop making updates mandatory sweet lord

Can’t login without having to update so I tend to look for the story elsewhere

Painful to navigate

Without a doubt this is the worst newspaper or magazine app. I suggest they start all over instead of fixing it.
