### 4/5 — Almost there

*2025-09-23, version 9.18*

This is a really great paper and I think it’s important for everyone in Waco to see the content. However, this paper clearly has a left-leaning slant and that bothers me. I’d love for the editorial section to have voices from both sides of the aisle.

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2025-09-01*

This is a really great paper and I think it’s important for everyone in Waco to see the content. However, this paper clearly has a left-leaning slant and that bothers me. I’d love for the editorial section to have voices from both sides of the isle.

**Developer response:** We really appreciate you sharing this. Our editors work hard to balance coverage, and your feedback helps guide us.

### 4/5 — Daily use but some updates needed

*2025-01-29, version 9.15.1*

I use this app daily. I do love reading the Trib this way. You have to be willing to accept some challenges though. The right and left buttons could work a little more smoothly and reading the full digital copy of the daily newspaper almost never works.

### 2/5 — Not PDF friendly

*2023-01-07, version 9.1.3*

From time to time just refuses to download edition in pdf.
Can open in browser but not app. Not the first time, happens then they seem to fix it, then goes on again.

### 3/5 — I like it

*2021-11-05, version 8.11*

Cool app that informs you about local stuff

### 1/5 — Waco Trib App Update is Terrible

*2019-09-09, version 5.0*

Sometimes simpler is better. Who thought this update was ready to be released? There’s not enough time in the day to deal with this mess of an app. 

-No one is going to be noticing the ad content when they’re busy looking for the x to return to the article. 

-Clicking on the x takes you all the way back to the beginning of the article. 

-Weird random pop up ads or polls that appear numerous times and don’t allow you to finish reading the article.

-No way to go back to the previous page if you want to read an obituary. You have to shut down the app and start over. 

-Very busy and clunky graphics in general when app opens up. 

Somebody must have paid their kid a lot of money to goof up a perfectly good app with overly complex visuals. 

Deleted.

### 1/5 — Liberal rag

*2019-01-17, version 4.30.480042220*

Stories written here are extremely biased!
Conservatives need not purchase or read!

### 3/5 — SOOO MANY TYPOS. and a lot of liberal, biased, unsupported statements

*2018-12-14, version 4.30.480042220*

I am glad we have a local paper still. Just wish we had a proofreader and leadership that endorses true democratic rhetoric, not just more biased storytelling.

### 5/5 — Waco Trib

*2018-06-29, version 4.29.630038082*

Love the app but not the fact it is very limited in what they let you read before they want you to pay for subscription.

### 5/5 — Love the Trib

*2018-05-05, version 4.24.210030408*

If you love Waco, or have loved ones there, this is a great way to keep abreast of what’s happening.  Excellent coverage of politics, business, new restaurants, athletics at Baylor, MCC, and high schools.  Everything you want to know.
