The social network connections could be a little easier to navigate. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Local News *2024-05-08, version 7.9.1* The Spectrum is supposed to be a local newspaper, but there have not been any local stories for a very long time. Discouraging… The print version is also an embarrassment for a city of 100,000+ and a county approaching 200,000. You receive the print paper by mail. The Sunday paper is delivered on Saturday. It should be titled “tomorrows news today”. There is a local section in the on line version. The Utah Tech section has stories about the 2023 football season - so very out of date. It is not worth the money. Why even publish The Spectrum? It used to be a good paper. ### 1/5 — No comparison *2024-03-15, version 7.6.1* This is in no way a substitute for the paper edition. It misses most of the information on all topics. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Constant Notifications *2021-06-22, version 6.5.8* Not a fan of repeating notifications that only are click bait to a Subscription Service, and cannot be turned off? ### 1/5 — Too many problems *2020-03-27, version 5.24.3* Couldn’t sign it. There’s something with app vs browser signed up with app but had to use browser to sign in. Called for help with problem signing in and did get that but then he wanted me to check manage account. There was and is no manage account. Don’t think I’m getting the full digital. He repeatedly told me where it was but it wasn’t there. I finally hung up on him. I can’t make it appear. I will end my subscription as soon as my trail is up. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2014-11-20, version 2.0.3* You can't read articles without a premium account. Instant 1 star and delete, would not recommend. Get your news elsewhere ### 1/5 — Bad *2013-07-20, version 1.1.3* Don't waste your time. App is hard to use and the spectrum is a very dry paper. ### 1/5 — Lame *2012-05-12, version 1.0.1* Free App but you have to pay for a subscription to read the news. I can read it for free from other apps and websites. ### 3/5 — Difficult *2023-08-08, version 7.1.2* Enjoyability lowered by difficult navigation ### 4/5 — Not bad for a local newspaper *2023-10-26, version 7.3.2* Like the local coverage. ### 4/5 — Local Newspaper *2016-07-02, version 4.1.1* Very easy read on my iPhone 6 Plus. Reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Well written articles with details and pics! ### 5/5 — Not just bad news. Feel good news too. *2020-06-17, version 5.24.3* I’m glad I don’t feel sad when I read the Spectrum. There tone is hopeful and objective. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-02-16, version 5.23.1* App was crashing but now fixed. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Nice news catcher so far love it . *2017-05-24, version 4.12.1* Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2016-04-19, version 2.5.7* I enjoy using this app ### 5/5 — The spectrum is great *2015-11-25, version 2.5.7* It's easy to navigate and straight-forward. The only thing I wish is that it showed if you had already read a story. Like if it went lighter or something. ### 5/5 — Appropriate *2014-10-26, version 2.0.3* A step forward for sure in reaching out to us all here locally and about. ### 5/5 — A very smooth UI and a breeze to navigate *2014-06-06, version 2.0.3* A very impressive user interface with easy to find and very clear drop-down boxes. Very easy to navigate and find the stories and the sections that you're looking for. The only thing I could not find was how to share the articles from the spectrum to different social media sites. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
