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.

Why no comments?
Why are you not able to view comments or make comments on any articles like you can on the website?? The NYTimes, Wa Post, Boston Globe, LA Times all have comments!
Come on Seattle Times… I expect better from you!!!

No longer a free download, false advertising
Started using the app and it was free local news, then 15 articles a month, then 5, now only 3.
Just charge for the app. The slow baiting and switching isn’t free and I’m done being a reader at this point. What use is a 3 article limit???

Last update nuked Top Stories
After the latest update, the Top Stories page won’t load any content. I really want to support local journalism but the mobile app has been pretty consistently terrible ever since it launched. The ST should either retire it and only support the mobile website version, or actually make it not suck.
