But among things I like to read are the comic strips. Sometimes the displays are fine. But other times the strips are hard to read. Making print larger means having to manually move the display and therein is the problem. Sometimes it moves but more often than not I have to reset the display and start over. Very aggravating while I have my morning coffee! Otherwise the e-newspaper is great. ### 3/5 — Advertising ads *2026-06-29, version 8.10.2* On this Epaper Ads keep popping up while your trying to read something. It’s annoying! ### 3/5 — Ridiculously intrusive *2026-04-02, version 8.9.0* I subscribe to use this app, yet I’m bombarded by pop-up advertisements for the very newspaper I’m a,ready reading and supporting. What a PIA. ### 4/5 — App easy but no icon *2026-02-21, version 8.8.0* Downloaded app but can only access paper through the App Store. I lost the icon when I updated the version! EDIT, finally got the icon back but have to use my app list. At least now I can easily read the paper. ### 4/5 — JDF *2026-02-01, version 8.6.0* Read every morning! ### 5/5 — On line paper *2025-12-28, version 8.6.0* Kinks are getting worked out now! ### 3/5 — Too much news too late. *2025-12-12, version 8.6.0* My only complaint is day-old new. I live in OKC and we should not be getting day-old news. ### 5/5 — Oklahoman e news *2025-12-12, version 8.6.0* I really like reading the news online ### 4/5 — Doesn’t even look like a newspaper *2025-12-09, version 8.6.0* Please bring back the replica on the app. I previously read the paper on my iPad—no longer. I have to read it on my laptop now. Reading the paper on my IPad, the pages where the articles go down on the page, the last one or two lines don’t show. I can’t read them. ### 5/5 — Oklahoman *2025-11-25, version 8.6.0* Enjoy your paper very much. Read it every day. ### 5/5 — Oklahoman app *2025-11-24, version 7.11.2* I do enjoy the Oklahoman and its wide coverage of local and national events. More in-depth coverage of local people/ events that impact our daily lives in Oklahoma would be a suggestion. ### 5/5 — Oklahoman app *2025-10-10, version 8.5.4* I do enjoy the Oklahoman and its wide coverage of local and national events. More in-depth coverage of local people/ events that impact our daily lives in Oklahoma would be a suggestion. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too Many Pop-Ups *2026-04-03, version 8.9.0* This app has an absolutely unacceptable number of pop ups. Feels very low quality for the price of the subscription. ### 1/5 — Horrible paper *2026-02-22, version 8.8.0* Not much worthwhile to read. Liberal in thinking and reporting ### 1/5 — subscription never syncs *2026-02-11, version 8.6.0* i’ve been a subscriber for years now but i’m never able to access it on the app - very frustrating ### 1/5 — Daily Oklahoman Not Available On This App *2025-12-06, version 8.6.0* I never wanted USA Today or whatever this thing is they offer with it. My original subscription has been supplanted with things I don’t want. ### 1/5 — WRONG DIRECTION COMPLETLY *2025-11-18, version 8.6.0* You are discontinuing a fully functional news app which I pay a subscription for for this convoluted app that throws an ad up at the bottom of the page. For everything and everyone including paying subscribers. I could understand you doing this for free users but not subscribers. If that continues I will cancel my subscription. I want to read the news free of ads and pay for it. Do yourself and your customers a favor and junk this app and bring back the fully functional app you had which gives paying subscribers a good experience without ads. Most media services reserve the ads for non-paying subscribers. Apparently your management really doesn’t care about their customers. Return the Original app and restore the print replica tab at the bottom - AND with no Adds for paid subscribers I am sorry, but this is 20 steps in the wrong direction. If this tabloid app with the ads stays for paid subscribers I will no longer be one. ### 1/5 — Not all functions work *2025-11-16, version 8.6.0* Send feedback from iphone doesn’t work. Change privacy preferences seem to be unchangeable from nothing opted out. ### 1/5 — Makes things difficult *2025-10-18, version 8.5.4* I’m a 83 year old subscriber and all I want is a copy of the newspaper! I was perfectly happy with the app until this new change! Seems like someone felt like they had to justify their job and make changes! ### 1/5 — Accessing The Oklahoman through the app *2025-10-11, version 8.5.4* We have a subscription to the Oklahoman, yet when I try to access the paper on our app it takes me in circles, asking me to create an account when I already have an account, and when I try to “create an account” with a new password, then it takes me back to the button that means to click on it “If you have an account”. And again. And again. I used to be able to access the e-newspaper through the app but no longer. It’s very frustrating! What am I paying for?! ### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible *2025-10-10, version 8.5.4* The update is useless. Much preferred previous version. ### 1/5 — Several problems *2025-07-21, version 8.1.0* Many days Mom didn’t receive her paper and paid way too much money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Oklahoman app *2026-08-11, version 8.11.0* I do enjoy the Oklahoman and its wide coverage of local and national events. More in-depth coverage of local people/ events that impact our daily lives in Oklahoma would be a suggestion. ### 5/5 — Great news! *2026-08-03, version 8.11.0* The online Oklahoman is fast and easy. I love it! ### 5/5 — Enlarging right side *2026-07-20, version 8.10.2* Even when I lock the one or two tap I have trouble with keeping it in newspaper mode. It suddenly changes to the type written page mode which for some reason I hate. This happens over and over again. So frustrating. ### 5/5 — Daily Need *2026-06-23, version 8.10.2* The Oklahoman keeps me updated on the local news, sports, and generally what is going on in OKC. It touches on the world news, so this is a plus. ### 5/5 — News now *2026-06-08, version 8.10.2* Yes ### 5/5 — Why do we even comment on this app? *2026-04-25, version 8.9.0* Horrible app and disconnects a couple times every time I try to read it. I would pay extra, if they could do away with ads that seize the paper! Tonight, trying to read the Sunday Oklahoman, I was interrupted six times to reboot. Get a better program? ### 5/5 — What happened to e-edition option? *2026-02-11, version 8.6.0* That was my favorite way to read paper ### 5/5 — Great daily news *2026-02-03, version 7.11.2* I start my day about 5 am with the Oklahoman newspaper. I get sports, weather, and local events all in less than an hour here ### 5/5 — OU coverage *2026-01-27, version 8.6.0* Outstanding, I played for OU back in the mid-60’s and have relied on you guys to keep me in the huddle! Thanks for the great coverage! Butch Metcalf ### 5/5 — Great Local Food Coverage *2026-01-23, version 8.6.0* I appreciate getting to read reviews and lists about our wonderful, diverse food scene. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
