User reviews

Feature request (font size)

Hello, I like this app. I would love the ability to change the font size in the app. If there could be some settings configurations for how you can change font, or font size. It is hard to read on my phone and I use this feature extensively in other newspaper apps.

Cannot customize notifications

Subtracted 1 star since you cannot customize notifications.

Good local coverage, hindered by lack of e-mail link interoperability

Very detailed and comprehensive coverage of Seattle and Washington, with balanced coverage of issues. One thing that I wish the functionality would include is cross-link launching of articles in the app from links in subscriber e-mail. Often times I click on a link to an article in the e-mail, which launches the browser (for which I have to always log in to read in private mode). Instead, it should launch or link to the article in the Seattle Times Mobile app. It’s a pain and a hassle that it doesn’t do this. (Feature request by a subscriber). For this, I give the mobile app 2.5 stars.

Need additional subscription to use

I pay for the Seattle times online subscription to read unlimited articles. But even when logged in using that account I can only read 2 articles on the app. You need to buy a SPECIAL APP membership to use the app fully. Trying to support print media by buying an online subscription only for them to insist on you paying even more.
