Updates

Enjoy your paper but can’t view on an older IPad after your update. I’m forced to read it on my phone which is not ideal..

Serious Formatting Problems

Content is adequate, even if it reprints MAGA right wing op-ed pieces without context. The problem is that the daily edition has so many formatting problems, and is based on really bad decisions, that it can be unreadable.

Response from developer

New Tribune app.

Here we go 'round in circles! Try. To open tribune, tribune tells me to update and sends me to App Store, App Store sends me to page that tells me to update app. Rinse and repeat.

Response from developer

Dear valued subscriber, I'm sorry for the issue you are experiencing. The lastes version of the app requires iOS 17.1+, so older iPads that can't upgrade won't be able to run it. To make sure you can still access the app without interruption, we can provide a tablet device that's compatible and will work wih the Tribune app right away. If you would like to proceed, email us at wecare@mcclatchy.com and include: Your full name, Mailing Address, Best phone number (optional, for delivery questions). Once we receive that, we'll get the replacement tablet arranged and share the next steps. Thank you, Customer Care.
