App is terrible
I have a subscription to the Longmont Times-Call, so I should be able to read articles on the app. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t seem to recognize my paid subscription even though I’m logged in, which is extremely frustrating. Some articles open just fine, but others lead me to a page that says I don’t have a subscription and I’m at my limit of free articles. This is clearly a glitch that LTC needs to fix.

Scam - not worth paying for
Worthless. Do not subscribe thinking you’re getting the digital version of the Times Call Newspaper. This app is a pathetic money grab with virtually no current content. Shameful.
Misleading Marketing
I have had Longmont Times Call App for many years on my phone. I was required to update my App a few weeks ago. The update said I would continue to get the news for the rate I was getting it prior to the update. This was straight up misleading marketing as the rate increased exponentially. Makes me wonder which side of the truth they print in the paper.

Needs work
All articles from print edition do not show up in the app. For instance, in today’s print edition (5/6/19) on the front page there is an article about Berthoud having 4th of July fireworks for the first time in over 100 years. No search bar in app (why not??) and I can’t find the same article anywhere in the app today!? This is not a user-friendly or complete alternative to the print edition!

Starts game while reading.
This connects you to some game server while reading and the game starts. Amateur hour - deleted it immediately.
Crappy app
Creator of app barely left it breathing. No option to search for articles published in the past.
Needs work
I use the app on my phone and I was looking for something a week ago, but don't see any search button. Not easy to get around.
Money grubbing times call
You used to get a bunch of ads if you looked at the times call for free, now you have to pay, but you still get to look at all the ads. Times Call continues the downward spiral to worthless. Uninstalling app.
Won't open articles
I've used this app for a long time to stay current on local news but now I can't open any articles because I don't want to pay for a subscription. Uninstalling.
Login now?!
Now we have to login to see the articles after never having to before? This is ridiculous. Good luck surviving in this age when anyone can get information for free online. I'm deleting this now that it's useless.
Terrible, deleting
Way too many intrusive ads popping up or moving around. There are at least three different versions of Prairie's Times-Call app, all of which have terrible ratings. They also make many other apps (25!!!) for other local papers, all of those have terrible ratings too. But oddly enough the Loveland paper app they make (which one I'm not sure) is somewhat more. I've had these apps on my phone for ages but never looked at them until now. The web sites are much better.

Consistently bad
Where to begin? This app changes so often my gripes will likely be obsolete by the time you read this. Bottom line, the upgrades somehow NEVER improve the app. Has it refreshed? Am I supposed to pay for content? The only constant is that it WILL crash on you. I've used it with a 4s and 6, same problems with either device.

Shhhhh I'm reading
The video adverts are absolutely annoying. You never know when they'll hit you - like Russian roulette. What a disruptive newspaper app.
Crashy
So crashy. Eight times in a row on multiple stories just now.
Search option
It would be great if you could add a search option
Keeps crashing
This app is getting worse about crashing the more I use it.
Deleting!
I used to really enjoy this app. The new video ads...or should I say add as it's the same one over and over have made this app unbearable. The Times Call has officially become like the other papers, i.e. no proof reading and putting revenue above customer loyalty.
Ads
The articles are GREAT! When you can actually read them... You have 30 second video ads that won't close and most of the time crash the app itself! Seriously I have never gone through one paragraph without an ad crashing the whole thing!
Video ads
The new version sneaks in video ads now instead of the annoying, but quiet, pop ups. I can no longer catch up on the news at night because of the loud video ads that randomly pop up for fear of waking my hubby. You have to wait 5 seconds before you can close it. They are loud.
Ok
Like the content, crashes often.
