Lousy local coverage
Covering the No Kings marches in Tri-cities & Bellingham, no mention of the one here in Olympia. I don’t feel the need to continue my subscription.
Unreliable
Unreliable
Blocked from login with Google
Update: my attempts to contact the app developers remain unsuccessful. They don’t bother responding at all. I was pretty sure that support email provided was shady at best…
===============
Whenever I attempt to log into this app to access my premium subscription using my Google Single Sign-On (SSO), I got the following return from Google:
“Access blocked: This request is blocked by Google’s policies”
Error 403: disallowed_useragent
The “dev support” email registered is a Gmail
Account, which makes the developer appear to be unprofessional at best or shady at worst.
I’d like to be able to leverage my premium subscription on this app. How about some proper policy compliance with Google SSO…?

Latest update crashes app
This app gets worse with every update. The latest update fails to download half of the stories, displaying only the spinning “working” icon until it crashes completely. After a few rounds of this, the app crashes on startup — completely unusable. Deleting the app and reinstalling from the App store does not help. The app still crashes on startup.

Just deleted
All the articles are paywalled now. Why bother?
Trying to use the app is useless
I have a subscription to the but the app doesn’t seem to get that. It isn’t working.
Invasive AP!!! Don’t use
Your APP is extremely invasive and tracks, downloads and monitors all the activities associated with my smartphone!!!
Bad app
Links don’t work. When you rotate your tablet it jumps six or seven pages forward. When I expand a puzzle to print it, it comes out blurry.
Response from developer
We apologize for the experience you are receiving with the app. In an effort to assist you with assist you with printing the puzzle section, please email us customerservice@mcclatchy.com with your contact information as we would like to help assist you. Thank you..
eEdition doesn’t work with Update last week of July 2022
The Olympian update the last week of July 2022 forced users tr into a continuous loop asking for userID and password. The Olympian suggested accessing eEdition through the browser instead of the app. Support and function is non-existent. Recent recommendation from The Olympian was to turnoff notifications in Safari.

App won’t log in
This app worked for about a week before it never let me log in again. On top of that, it auto renewed my subscription after a year and i barely got to even use it. Do not recommend
Response from developer
We apologize for the inconvenience, we are transitioning to a new subscription platform and sorting out a few bugs. In the meantime, we've enabled full access for all readers until the transition is complete. Once the new system is running, a login or subscription purchase will be required for unlimited access.
Just like the print edition — awful
Just as the printed Olympian is the worst daily newspaper I’ve ever read, this is the worst news app I’ve ever tried to use. Absolute, McClatchy-mangled junk. I’d give this app a zero if I could.

App Does Not Work
I have a subscription and was unable to access news through the app’s feed on my IPhone, however, I was able to access the digital edition. The error that I received was “Error Fetching Feeds” and “Pull to Refresh” whenever I tried opening the app after receiving an Olympian news alert on my IPhone or IPad. I quickly received a response from the developer advising me to turn off Private Relay in my phone’s settings and voila, the error disappeared.

Thank you for your response and glad the fix worked.
Every time they change it gets worse
Seems something is always wrong. I don’t know ho many times this app has been changed, and I still can’t get to work right.

Very good app!
app seems to have made a lot of changes (based on other reviews), i think it works just fine
Ads with a paid subscription?
I was hoping to support my “local” paper but I’m over it now. Horrible app. I shouldn’t be seeing ads with a paid subscription. No wonder this newspaper is dying.
Local news important except to the paper owner
Random schedules for delivery, some days not at all. Reporting has continous errors for local stories. Comics are great!
Would like to occasionally see
What’s happening in Olympia. I used to live there and still have family in the area. I hate that I have to buy a subscription in order to read more than 3 lines of outdated news.
Bankrupt app just like the paper
Enough said
Really Bad
For over a month I’ve tried to read the e edition. I had hoped it would read like a newspaper. Am I doing something wrong? This has many, many pop ups that are incredibly distracting. It is hard to browse in order to find articles which i prefer to read. I am inundated by news emails that I can’t seem to turn off. Every time I unsubscribe I get new emails or push alerts. This has been a very unpleasant experience and I am cancelling
