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. ### 2/5 — E newspaper *2023-12-04, version 7.5.1* Too hard to find earlier editions! You can’t change any targeting advertisements ! ### 2/5 — E newspaper *2023-11-30* Too hard to find earlier editions! ### 3/5 — Would be higher but... *2019-11-11, version 5.21.3* iPhone app works very well. Android not so much. Keeps losing my subscription. Content is okay. USToday is an arm of Dems so beware. Good for everything but politics. Just saying... ### 2/5 — Useless *2019-09-02, version 5.18.1* As far as usability, the app rarely works. ### 3/5 — Paper deliver *2019-06-28, version 5.16.1* Did not get paper today! This happens about once a week! Please try to fix this problem. ### 5/5 — Stable *2019-06-03, version 5.16.1* Stable and easy to use ### 5/5 — Shreveport Times *2019-05-20, version 5.16.1* Not the newspaper I grew up with. Would like to see the Local & State news reported in a more timely manner, especially sports on the weekends. ### 5/5 — Shreveport *2019-04-12, version 5.16.1* Always has the best news ### 4/5 — Blanchard ladybug *2019-04-04, version 5.16.1* Enjoy very much ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very informative *2025-12-06, version 8.6.0* Always up to date on latest news,really enjoy reading the Shreveport times over my morning coffee ### 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. ### 1/5 — CSessions *2022-11-18, version 6.12.5* Buyer beware, what a ripoff. I paid for subscription but cant read articles marked as for subscribers. Customer service non-existent. ### 1/5 — Login problems *2021-10-25, version 6.5.9* This is the worst app I have ever used. ### 1/5 — Blocked articles *2020-10-16, version 6.1.4* I have a full subscription yet you block me from certain articles why? ### 1/5 — What happened to my newspaper? *2019-12-15* I don’t even recognize this horrible thing as my newspaper. I want to read the newspaper as it is, not this hodgepodge. Just the digital version of The Times like it has always been. I will not continue paying for this mess. ### 1/5 — Poor design *2019-12-14, version 5.22.2* I don’t mind having to pay for a subscription but I hate that every article I click on I have to restore my purchase or activate my subscription. This is not enjoyable and makes me want to use the app. ### 1/5 — Scam-port Times *2019-02-25, version 5.16.1* For three straight days, I have attempted contact with customer service, to no avail. Evidently, they only want your money and then give nothing in return. ### 1/5 — Worst free app ever *2016-08-15, version 4.1.1* Every time I open this app it tells me I need to upgrade to newest version, even if I just come back into it after allegedly upgrading it. Been that way for about a week, but I give up trying. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 *2025-07-05* Always up to date on latest news,really enjoy reading the Shreveport times over my morning coffee ### 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. ### 5/5 — Quick easy way to keep up with local news *2022-08-29, version 6.12.5* I love having the notifications if something important is going on locally ### 5/5 — Bruce bickham *2020-12-29, version 6.2.0* Very easy to access Good stories - thanks ### 5/5 — Shreveport Times *2020-08-20, version 5.25.1* Great home town and national news!! Easy to navigate!! ### 5/5 — Quick and reliable news *2020-03-28, version 5.24.3* With business of family life and work. I prefer to read news on my spare time. Quick and reliable news source. ### 5/5 — Perfect for People on the Go *2019-10-07, version 5.18.1* It’s a great way to get the most current news in the area! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
