### 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.

### 1/5 — Liberal rag

*2019-01-17, version 4.30.480042220*

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

### 1/5 — Waco Trib

*2018-04-20, version 4.24.210030408*

I’ve subscribed to the Waco Trib for 40 years.  I do not think I should renew.  First and foremost, I’m so tired of your Liberal articles that you call news.  President Trump is our President, your too!  He should be treated with the highest Respect!!  Secondly,  you removed the Celebrity Letter Scramble from the puzzle.  The one thing I enjoyed about your paper, and you removed it.  
Thank you, Suzanne Young, 713/213-1606

### 1/5 — Be a newspaper

*2016-05-21, version 4.18.170018421*

Quit trying to mimic ESPN scandal sports.

### 1/5 — BUTT

*2015-08-01, version 4.14.5*

THIS APP IS BUTT NO ANGRY BIRDS

### 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 — 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.

### 3/5 — I like it

*2021-11-05, version 8.11*

Cool app that informs you about local stuff

### 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.

### 3/5 — More

*2016-05-18, version 4.18.170018421*

More content and the comic would be nice

### 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.

### 5/5 — Good coverage briefly

*2017-11-09, version 4.24.210030408*

When I'm traveling, this is the best way to keep abreast of hometown news, weather & events.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Best News App for Central Texas

*2017-04-02, version 4.21.290025503*

The Waco Tribune App is my first stop of the morning, and my go-to App for Texas and especially Central Texas news. The article organization is good as is the reporting; the app is easy to use and they cover the lion's share of anything you want to know about what's going on in Central Texas.  Their simple and straightforward organization is better than most high-dollar new apps. Finally, it's free and no trees are cut down to get my news. All around a great app and one you should try if you live or are interested in news in this area.

### 5/5 — Excellent Navigation

*2017-01-12, version 4.21.290025503*

I really like this app because it's very easy to find what I'm looking for. Mostly, I read the headline news, but I can easily switch to weather or op-eds, which is what I like best about the app.

### 5/5 — Review

*2015-06-04, version 4.13.0*

Excellent regional newspaper. Great coverage of the Biker Homicides

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Doesn't have enough national news

*2016-03-26, version 4.17.670016480*

Doesn't have enough national news and the pictures always stays the same. Otherwise, good.

### 4/5 — Hometown News

*2015-05-18, version 4.13.0*

Excellent coverage of news and concern for Waco and Mclennan county.
