OUR NONPROFIT MODEL

The Salt Lake Tribune transformed to a 501(c)(3) in late 2019, making it the first legacy newspaper in the U.S. to transform from a for-profit company to a nonprofit entity. Under the new structure, The Tribune is governed by a board of directors, with Huntsman serving as chairman of the board.
 
The Salt Lake Tribune is pioneering one path forward for local news.

### 1/5 — Blank Login Screen

*2025-11-23, version 6.5.7*

A login screen that’s blank so you can’t log in makes this app completely useless.

### 1/5 — This app constantly loses login information

*2025-06-27, version 6.5.7*

This app is completely useless. Every time I open it, it asks me to log in.  It doesn’t use the keychain. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have all my passwords memorized.

### 1/5 — Locks up on Login

*2025-04-17, version 6.5.7*

I get a blank login screen so I can’t enter my account name and password. The app is unusable.

### 2/5 — Why subscribe if it signs you out every time?

*2025-03-03, version 6.5.6*

Open the app, you’re signed in. click on a push notification? “sign in or subscribe” I’m signed into the app and I am subscribed but i have to prove it every time i click on an article. it’s aggravating to have to sign in so often.

### 3/5 — Offensive adds

*2025-01-21, version 6.5.6*

Content is good but I recently started receiving ads with scantily clad fat men which I can’t get rid of.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-10, version 6.5.6*

App is horribly slow to load.  Reloads in the middle of reading.  Links don’t work frequently.

### 2/5 — Nearly unusable on iPad

*2024-09-01, version 6.5.6*

One of the most aggravating apps I use. Everything loads so clunky, ads continue to load after starting to read which causes shifts in scrolling. Scrolling up and down hides/up hides top nav bar which causes layout shift. For being a content app that requires a subscription to view the content, the content sure takes a back seat to all of the other UI.

### 1/5 — App crashes when you try to log in with gmail

*2024-07-02, version 6.5.5*

The app is useless. I pay for a subscription and the app crashes every time I try to log in with my linked gmail account. No point in me paying for a subscription anymore, since the website itself is unpleasant to read on my phone.

### 3/5 — Pop ups make the app almost unusable

*2024-04-23, version 6.5.4*

The pop up ads make this app seem unstable on my iPhone. They hide the story, are difficult to close and jump you to different parts of the story. I don’t have the same problem on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Poor Digital Edition/Update

*2024-03-11, version 6.5.4*

I have. Relatively new IPad Pro that I got to specifically read the paper.  At least once a month I have to reload the app.  ToDAY I reloaded it four times and I still can’t get pages or stories in readable size.  Very frustrating.  You’ve been digital for years.  Why haven’t you figured this out?
