Misleading
Turns out this app requires a paid subscription, which isn’t clear until you sign up and give them your email, etc. You would think with all the relentless ads & popups they force upon you on the free web version of SFGATE, this app version might too be free, but with a smoother reading experience. Nope. Plus, buggy on my fully updated iPhone 14. Deleting.

Keeping up with everything California
I have been enjoying your publication so much that I decided to become a paid subscriber. I was won over because I missed finding put about all things California. Having been born in Southern California and spent the first quarter of my life there I’m still engaged in what happens in Southern California. I still have places I loved to reminisce on and know any new developments that might be happening. I feel the same way about San Francisco and then I moved farther north again so I’ve spent most of my life all over California. We are the greatest State in this union hands-down. So it’s important to keep up and if I pay for the publication, my hope is that I will be buying old-fashioned truthful journalism….So-far-so-good💕…

Loving the app
I signed up for the app 3 weeks ago. My favorite thing is the puzzles section and using the app makes it easy to access the California Mini Crossword!

Only worth it if you’re subscribing
The teasers say the app is free, but unless you’re going to subscribe the app is a downgrade from reading on the web - stories don’t display at all. The app makes you create an account to find this out.
From other reviews this is a good app if you want to subscribe, but the app should be marked (and marketed) as “subscription required.”

Disappointed
I have been an SF Chronicle subscriber since the mid 1970’s. When SFGate came online it was free and I read it along with my SFComical. Now the suits want to charge me to use the SFGate app too!? NO bleeping WAY. They can explain all they want about the Comical and SFNotSoGreat have separate editorial staffs and they must charge for its content,but they’re the same publisher. Contact me when you make it free to SFChronicle subscribers. Until then I’m gone.
