### 1/5 — Very informative

*2025-12-06, version 8.6.0*

### 5/5 — Ccdawson52

*2025-07-20, version 8.1.0*

I’ve been reading The Times ever since I was a little girl. Still wish we had The Journal in the afternoon.

### 5/5 — Very informative

### 5/5 — Jimmy Snedegar

*2025-05-31, version 8.1.0*

Good info

### 5/5 — E-paper is always Accessible

*2025-05-29, version 8.1.0*

I’ve read the Shreveport Times for over 40 years and cannot imagine a day without it.   The app allows me to read whereever we travel! I love it!

### 5/5 — Newspaper

*2025-05-27, version 8.1.0*

The Shreveport Times is the standard for the majority of readers in NWLA. Thanks for giving readers options.  I discontinued the “paper” edition in favor of being able to get it on the internet…less expensive, but I did miss it when my internet went out recently.  Miss the days when it was published locally, though…just saying.

### 2/5 — NOT fair OR balanced

*2025-05-11, version 8.1.0*

Today is the closest I have come to canceling the subscription I have had since 1987. Can’t we all celebrate that the new Pope is an AMERICAN without a political Trump-bashing headline? Also, I am tired of poor grammar, poor spelling, lousy writing (locals) and weird URLs that cover up part of articles. Those links appear to be hacks because they take me to “unsafe” pages. At least running a whole sentence together without spaces isn’t as prevalent.

### 1/5 — Not the paper

*2025-02-24, version 8.0.0*

I want to read the paper, just like a printed edition, turn the page and see all the ads , etc.

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing

*2024-07-22, version 7.11.1*

Usually in the morning. You can get to some articles but the e-paper doesn’t always load . Almost like it is hung up trying to load a commercial/advertisement that locks up the paper. The other possibility is you haven’t published the paper until after 10:00 am. 
Very frustrating!!

### 2/5 — App unstable

*2024-04-15, version 7.8.0*

App is very unstable and freezes up while using.  Format of the newspaper is poor and hard to use.
