### 4/5 — scb current learning point

*2025-11-23, version 3.18.23*

Have iPhone app. Would rather read on 24” Mac screen, but App Store says not for Mac OS. Should I try anyhow? I know I can’t stop cell phone stampede.

### 4/5 — App Review

*2025-09-13, version 3.18.23*

Enjoy using the app, especially when we are out of town. The only criticism is that when I expand the text, it doesn’t always stay where I set it. It jumps to a nearby location, which then causes me to reset it. It may take two or three attempts to get it into the preferred location. Doesn’t matter if I use one, two or all eleven fingers, it has a mind of its own.

### 5/5 — Print

*2025-05-14, version 3.18.10*

As a card carrying geezer I fear that even I may live to see the demise of print media we know it. I have begun to embrace reading the TH on my phone and hope that will endure. I have been reading the TH for 55+ years. Keep up the good work!

The TH online is easy to navigate, easy to see for my aging eyes, consistently delivered on time, and no clutter when I’m finished reading it. Also, I can share articles or cartoons with friends, print out a copy of anything I want to keep, and go back into past issues at any time.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App won’t open.

*2019-12-05, version 2.9.61*

Why can’t someone figure out what’s wrong with this app and FIX it?

### 1/5 — Jf

*2019-12-01, version 2.9.61*

App will not allow log in - states email already taken and does not recognize new password!
A joke!

### 1/5 — Mr.

*2019-05-15, version 2.9.46*

What the hell is going on? Do U not test ap before U change from old 2 new! An email or some type of warning would have helped! It is 12:42 PM & I still don’t have it open! “HELP”
Have a service Rep call me! Jay D Kolker

### 1/5 — Beautiful icon but that’s all you get

*2019-05-15, version 2.9.46*

My iPad screen fills up with the new icon frozen on the full screen. Not a very good or useful app!

### 1/5 — Will not let me log in either.

*2017-09-27, version 2.6.81*

Will not let me log in either.

### 1/5 — Will not let me logon.

*2013-11-17, version 2.5.7*

Terrible!  Will not let you logon.

### 2/5 — Washington Post west

*2021-03-07, version 3.2.61*

It is to bad we can not get UNBIASED reporting. At one time newspapers provided that. But that was long ago! Almost without exception your articles reporting on issues in America and even around the world are directly from the Washington Post. I would ask that you begin or return to providing articles from both sides of the issues and allow your readers to make decisions on the proper course of action. 

Thank you

### 2/5 — Sign in

*2020-10-02, version 3.1.80*

Quite often we have to sign . My wife e mailed you and NO ONE took time to answer her concerns , WHY ??? Your response is like the pony express. Get with it and reply to her e mail of Sep 20 th . 
Very disappointed and the newspaper is getting thinner and thinner and we are paying the same HIGH price .
Dennis Gansemer

### 3/5 — Crossword Puzzle

*2021-04-03, version 3.2.64*

The only criticism I have of the puzzles is once you leave them to look at another site, you lose them and have to start over.  I also do puzzles in USA Today and that doesn’t happen.  If there is a way that you could fix that, please do.

### 3/5 — Emailing articles not allowed!

*2020-01-18*

While there were some improvements with the new version (e.g., when it unexpectedly returns to the app home screen, it mostly remembers which page I had been reading and returns me there instead of making me scroll through every page to get back to the right place), the loss of ability to share articles by email is a *big problem. Why offer “share” when the methods (like the Notes app) are practically useless?

### 5/5 — A wonderful app for a superb regional newspaper!

*2025-11-12, version 3.18.23*

I lived in NE Iowa for ten years, which is how I became acquainted with this fine newspaper.  Immediately after moving to Oregon I purchased a digital subscription so that I could keep in touch with my home state.  This paper is attractively laid-out, does a great job covering the tri-state area, and its use of colorful graphics and beautiful photos enhances the information-delivering ability of this paper.  Highly recommended!
