Blank Login Screen

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

This app constantly loses login information

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.

Locks up on Login

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

Why subscribe if it signs you out every time?

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.

Offensive adds

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

Terrible

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

Nearly unusable on iPad

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.

App crashes when you try to log in with gmail

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.

Pop ups make the app almost unusable

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.

Poor Digital Edition/Update

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?

App is brutal. Reporting is fine

App is awful to use:
- a strange collection of stories get pushed to the home page and don’t update much over the week.
- lots of articles get buried in different sections
- I’m losing my patience with this app. Not sure why I’m paying for this
- reporting is fine

App is not okay nor good anymore.

I have many issues with opening the newest newspaper articles in the mobile format. Sometimes when I’m reading an article the back and forward buttons disappear. When I can back out of an article it resets to the main page of the newspaper. It would be great to have the app open when I click on articles through Facebook or Instagram. It’s really disappointing to see a great app turn to dust. I’ll cancel my subscription soon if this keeps up.

Not on iPad

I have struggled with this app since they upgraded. It does not work on my iPad. I have had to download it multiple times because it doesn’t open. The latest edition doesn’t pop up and the adds block things and are very distracting. Why do I have to have adds when I pay for a subscription.

Articles close on their own

I often will make it halfway through an article just to have it close on me and go back to the main page. When I try to reopen the article, it closes again immediately. This happens regularly (and I have a subscription). It’s become so annoying that I don’t plan to renew my subscription.

Bad upgrade

Using on an iPad. The images are blurred. Difficult to read Doonesbury and other graphics because the smaller writing is pixilated. It loses your place when you reopen the app. Moving in and out of the print version loses your place. Graphics appear in the print version but not in the web version.

Poor quality

The new app looks better but it fails to open sometimes and the article will close without warning. It should have been debugged before being released.

Glitchy and Painfully Slow

Crashes and locks up on iPads. Unusable. Cancel my subscription.

Not compatible with my I Pad Pro! Or my Mac Mini!

The newest edition does not com up on my black updated Tribune app. I simply can’t get the latest edition. If I try getting the paper through my email notification I get a big useless banner to the left of the screen that makes the print too small to read. I know what I want: the first page of the latest edition filling my screen every morning through my app. Simple, easy to use. That is not what I am getting although numerous other publications seem to be able to accomplish this simple task. It is very frustrating and when my long term subscription ends (20 year subscriber) I will not renew.

A once great newspaper...

I’ve been a Trubune subscriber for almost forty years. I remember when the Trib used to present actual news to its readers, rather than just being a propaganda vessel for the leftest agenda which is trying its best to destroy the postwar gains America experienced. The Tribune is quite loyal to the majority of its subscribers. If you despise the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the Constitution, the LDS Church, conservative politics, or an unbiased presentation of world and local news events, the Tribune is the medium for you.

Latest Update a Bust

I cannot stand the new layout, font, sizes, everything about this last update. It looks like a page of clickbait. The font is especially unappealing. Strangest layout. I used to check the news app every morning and get all caught up. Now i click on it and give up after a few seconds bc it’s so off-putting.
