Doesn’t work 20% of the time

Recently when I’ve been using it, I get a message that shows “Please try later” and now news populates. Happens a few times a week. I just have to wait a few hours and try again. Restarting the app doesn’t help.

Not great

Beware— I got the yearly subscription and barely used it because the journalism is subpar and the content generated just isn’t great. If you do get the subscription, however, you’ll want to cancel your subscription immediately—otherwise they will auto-charge you a year from the date that you first started for another year. No updates or warnings that you were about to get charged.

Irrelevant

Stopped using for Dodger news a while ago. Not paying for biased regular news reporting. Now they’re charging for playing free mini crossword game so just deleted this trash. Get a clue LA Times.

Poor execution

The ‘home’ screens and tabs leave out a significant number of articles and keep very old articles up for a long time.
The enewspaper screen displays all articles like a traditional paper(mostly simple text), but often formatted poorly. Like an afterthought.
Shared links from the enewspaper don’t carry the LATimes name or branding.
Compared to any other newspaper’s app, this is far behind.

Nonfunctional

For a number of years my wife and I have read the LA Times digital via the app. However, lately using the latest version, the articles headlines appear, yet when you attempt to open any article, the app freezes. I use an iPhone 15 pro with updated OIS. And there don’t appear to be any fixes available at the App Store.
