### 3/5 — Recent upgrade to iPhone ap

*2012-11-22*

There was a feature in the old ap that I can not find. Your traffic report. I could use this to see traffic conditions anywhere that I was interested. I used this feature, everyday.

### 1/5 — Why change the format?

*2017-01-03*

This new format is not user-friendly at all. It is a TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD app. Same goes for sister edition, Vallejo Times Herald. May delete it.

### 1/5 — Must pay

*2015-01-31*

I read this app everyday. Now u gotta pay for it. Dont bother.

### 1/5 — Waste!

*2015-01-16*

What an utterly wasteful app. Can't believe our local paper has such a terrible app.

### 1/5 — Must be a subscriber

*2015-01-14*

I just updated to the new version. If I don't sign in as a paid subscriber, it goes back to the headlines. And the ads still pop up. Still have access to weather. Don't waste your time unless you're a subscriber.

### 1/5 — Just downloaded, won't open?

*2014-12-06*

Downloaded the all and it won't go past a blank white page. It will say "optimizing" then quit.

### 1/5 — Opinion section Ads

*2014-11-06*

How can we view an entire editorial? Only the first paragraph appears after clicking on headline. Same with letters.

### 1/5 — Content Missing

*2014-01-20*

Most articles and editorials are missing the first paragraph. Save yourself the effort and go to the web page.

### 1/5 — Yesterday's News

*2013-01-24*

App is really slow to update. Day old bread is ok but day old news isn't.

### 2/5 — Sometimes content doesn't refresh

*2014-05-27*

Sometimes stories get stuck for multiple days. Content will be 2 days old and won't refresh

### 2/5 — Not Ready For Prime Time

*2014-01-12*

While the app seems to function well, I have found the content to be less than satisfying. Local news is slow to be updated and usually poorly written. C'mon Reporter! You're our only local source for local information. You can do better!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-05-21*

Keep the pimp hand strong!

### 5/5 — Great app :)

*2013-05-16*

I loved it, i loved it, i loved it ;)

### 5/5 — Bajasparky

*2013-05-02*

As long time reader of the Reporter who moved to Baja Mexico recently, the app displays the same "Rico" style of coverage we "locals" have always enjoyed. All local with the necessary national news as required. The app is just like having the paper with you, thanks Gregg P. Dixon

### 5/5 — Good app

*2013-04-14*

Like the up to date local news :D

### 4/5 — Enjoying This App!

*2013-07-09*

This app keeps me update on what's happening in Vacaville.

### 4/5 — Reporter

*2013-06-24*

Timely, good way to keep up on the local happenings when out of town...or the paper doesn't arrive on time.

### 3/5 — Not Bad...

*2014-06-10*

Not great, either.  Lacks depth, but has the headlines easily available

### 3/5 — It's ok could be better

*2014-05-06*

Could load news that's happening thur out the day

### 3/5 — Not Bad could do better

*2014-01-16*

It would be a lot better if the app was updated as news happened, for example, how is anyone going help locate a robbery suspect on clothing description 12 hours after a robbery, and it would be real nice for a comment section on the bottom of each story

### 3/5 — Great content but distracting ads

*2013-07-10*

The content of the app is great but the ads are flashy and distracting
