Idaho Law

Since you have a paper/media in Idaho and have published The collection “Irradiated” but can’t seem to save millions of lives around the USA because of Radioactive Fertilizers use all made in Pocatello, Idaho aka Radioactive City the most radioactive city in the world. So here is my review you perpetrators of committing felony Misprision, Crimes Against Humanity, and Criminal Child Abuse, neglect, and endangerment!

When you simply need the best.

Impeccable reporting, no fluff.

Excellence in journalism

The quality is consistent with high journalistic standards.

Swami

I have been a fan of McClatchy newspapers for a number of years. Their app makes it easy to keep track of current events with journalistic point of view not reporters point of view.

Scoops

Often the first to report on a story we all need to know. Check in often.

A Workmanlike App, But I Check It Every Day

Love McClatchyDC’s articles, and this helps me consume more of them because they’re now conveniently on my mobile device. I just wish there was a “search” feature or maybe an “award-winning articles” tab to help me explore more McClatchyDC content and maybe some of the back catalogue. This app is really simple, with no frills. It does what it needs to do and, for the most part, it works just fine for me.

unbiased content....somewhat

This was the only news media outlet in America that questioned Bush Jr. reasons for invading Iraq. Enough reason for me to peruse their DC site...wish they would add more international news..

Old news

App does not post frequently enough for me.

I used to enjoy their news coverage

During the stupidity of the Bush era in the US, these guys actually reported the news well neither blindly reporting what the administration handed them or doing the smear job others like CNN and AP would do. It seems they have changed. What happened to reporters who were trained to critical thinking?

Better than NYTimes and Washington Post

Critical perspective of the news and thorough in-depth coverage of investigative reporting are factors for their success. State, National and Global issues are dealt more sincerely here than what I found in NYTimes, Washington Post and Gaurdian.

A Fantastic Paper

I would like a search function to be part of this app; then I could search through stories in the newspaper I love just as I do online.

A joy!

Quite comprehensive and readable. One of the more objective news apps.

Very good

Very much enjoy the news service. App is quite nice. No problem with my iPhone 4.

Update breaks compatibility.

A great news app. Unfortunately, with this latest update, it won't launch on my 4s iOS 6.1.3. Two stars with the expectation that the glitch will be fixed.

Unusable!

I couldn't even get past the first screen on iPhone 5 running iOS 7. This is truly a rotten app.

Latest 10/20 Update Fails To Open

After last IOS 7.0.3 update the McClatchy app loads and shows splash screen but 5 seconds later minimizes without continuing to main articles page. Major fail.

Suddenly doesn't work anymore

App hasn't worked for three days now. When you tap on the icon, you get the opening screenshot of the Capitol for about ten seconds, then you're back to the home screen. Have tried deleting app and re-installing, but it's still doing it.

Not Working at All

Newest update does nothing. Only the main picture shows. As useless as the US House of Representatives
Please fix.

Unique news perspective

McClatchy offers a unique perspective on news and current events. Someone in their office is thinking.

Additional plus is no frou frou. They concentrate on the substance of news. What a refreshing change from mainstream media.

Of late, the app is becoming a little unstable. But they should probably have that fixed in short order.

This is a must have news app to add to your collection. Try it; you'll like it.

Has potential

Worth looking at.
