Generally okay, but——-
All of a sudden it only appears in half-sized mode. Can’t enlarge it.
Keeps freezing on past day’s issue
Many times per month, I have to restart my iPad (new, so it’s not the iPad’s fault) to get this app to work and load the day’s issue. Sometimes it won’t let me print out the sudoku or crossword. It used to work a LOT better. I really like reading the TIMES on my iPad, so would like the app to be smoother. I have deleted and re- downloaded the app. But the bugs persist.

Individual stories won’t open
This ongoing problem persists with each update. Occasionally it gets fixed but reverts after updates. Please fix this ongoing problem.
Cannot open individual articles or columns
Used to be able to click on an article, column, or puzzle to open it and then enlarge it for better readability. Seattle Times has broken this function, possibly believing we have screens the size of a newspaper to read on. A significant downgrade in accessibility for this newspaper, which is sad as there are good articles… if only we could read them…

Useable but clunky and missing features
On my iPhone 14, the app runs smoothly and responsibly.
When reading in article mode, the formatting gets wonky because of line breaks being in different places and no support for multiple headers.
I would like to see an option for dark mode and a CTRL+F-style search feature.

Yuck! Intrusive data gobbling!
It’s disgusting that this app collects even my hand gestures and the way I nod my head?
This is horrifying technological overreach.
Very difficult and confusing to opt out.
Shame on you.

LOVE this electronic Print Replica !
This Seattle Times works perfectly on my IPhoneSE, it’s a convenient solution to walking out into cold-rainy winter weather to get the dirty-wet morning Newspaper.
My print-replica App is super-easy to access, and the morning electronic daily version arrives as early as 2am.
You will absolutely LOVE this Seattle Times Daily Print Replica, especially since the monthly cost savings is literally more than 50% of the traditional wet, dirty, resource-wasting paper version that’s dropped at the end of your driveway.
Do yourself a HUGE favor and get this “Print Replica” Seattle Times Daily Newspaper App NOW !

Can’t open individual articles any more
I used to like the app, but the current release only allows a full page to be viewed, not individual articles. Also, the links to continuation pages no longer work. So it’s now too inconvenient, forcing me back to the web site.
Resizes on page change, no fit to screen
Make it work more like the replica on the website - that works great. I like reading a page (not two) at a time, wish stayed same zoom as read page to page on my iPad.
One of the worst apps available
Frequently will not load today’s paper, currently cannot expand articles. Few options for managing storage clutter, like no “ delete all” stored papers. A cheaply and poorly executed app, junk
Just Right
This app makes reading the paper as authentic as the real thing. There is a reason that newspapers have the format that they do,and this app remains true to that experience. It is easy to scan through the paper to find the stories that interest you. It is also easy to zoom in for easy reading. Text and photos are clear and neatly presented navigation is straightforward and intuitive.

Unstable, user-unfriendly - a wasre of time
This app has been well below mediocre forever. It is balky, shuts down frequently and is the worst app I have ever used, but it’s the only way to read the local news.
Awful!
Absolutely awful app! Does not update to current edition. The Seattle Times Company should be ashamed of this app. It is a sad commentary on the sad state of newspaper journalism. If you want people to read your paper, you really should listen to them.
Unable to sign in
I signed up for Seattle Times using my Google login. The Print Replica app is “unsupported” when attempting to ‘Sign in with Google’. Exact message copy and pasted below

Please fix sign-in bug for comments
I love this app for use on my ipad. It makes it easier for me to scan the pages as they would be laid out in the daily paper, read all those that interest me and not find myself down the rabbit hole that happens with the email digest or website.
But my biggest problem with both Print Replica and now the ST website is that no matter what I do, every time I try to give a thumbs up or post a comment to an article, I end up in an endless loop telling me I have to sign in to comment. I sign in and try again, and again it fails. There seems to be no way to “stay signed in”. Obviously many others are able to comment, but I can only do so from my laptop, which I only use at work, not at home. It’s a super frustrating bug that has existed for quite some time. I really hope it can be fixed.

Painful to Use
Will work for a week or so then won’t load a new days paper without deleting and reinstalling the app. Has been this way for years ….
App issues
The current version of the app (3.2.0) does not work with IOS 17.x. I do not get an error but only the splash screen comes up and the app/content never loads.
Very disappointing!!!!!
Not what I expect from such a stellar news source. Maybe hire some of the highly talented tech people in our region to create a site that actually works consistently?
I am disappointed daily in the spotty performance of this site.
You can surely do better.

Lmited login...
I am a subscriber of print and digital and thought this would be a nice app to have on the iPhone. I have the other, ST are on my iPhone as well. I use my Google login for my Seattle Times account. This app wants to force you into a Seattle Times specific username and password so I have no real way of using this. This app needs to be integrated to make use of Google and Apple logins. Time to update, that is pretty much the standard quote of all apps. I have given it one star because I cannot even login and I am an already paying customer.

Would like pencil functionality for puzzles
I like the app for the main purpose—reading news reports—especially tapping on a story to get a larger print version with continuous flow (no navigating to another page in the paper to read the entire story). But I have to take photos of the puzzles and get to edit mode to use my Apple Pencil to complete them. It works for KenKen, but is cumbersome for the NYT crossword. Please add this functionality to your app!
