## Houston Chronicle Reviews in United States

### *---- "App Crashes"
No longer taking print edition as family member who couldn’t use the digital edition is no longer with us. I use the app primarily for local and state news. I find this iPhone app to be frustratingly unreliable. Several times each week while trying to scroll through an article it will freeze, go back to the beginning of the article, or crash and disappear entirely. This behavior repeats even after killing the app and restarting it. 

I’ll continue to use other paid national news apps for national and world news. My continued use of the subscription for the digital edition of this publication may depend on whether the iPhone app improves.

Update 12/24

So today the app stated I’d reached a free article reading limit, although I’m signed in to a paid digital subscription. I can read the same article signed in to the website. So this is a bug in the iPhone app. I’m reducing my rating by one star as a result.

Turns out I wasn’t signed in. But sign in process hangs up after entering credentials, on WiFi with VPN at clinic, on cellular data, and now on home WiFi. Minus another star.

### ***** "Jesse"
Subscription cost too much. I recommend $7 a month $5 for the chronicle
-- Jeeeesssseeee, 2024-12-14

### ***-- "Old news recycled"
The problem with this news app as with most is that they constantly push old news stories.
-- Delana Austin, 2024-11-22

### *---- "Liberal rag"
If it wasn’t for the fact I needed this paper for work, I wouldn’t subscribe. So liberal one sided media.
-- Shawn Ackerman, 2024-11-01

### *---- "Houston Chronicle"
The newspaper articles on politics are far too liberal and obviously biased. It does not represent fair reporting.  If not for the sports section I would cancel my subscription.
-- Truth Review Subscriber, 2024-10-24

### ***** "Can’t live without it!"
Love having every article anytime anywhere and no paper amassed to get rid of.
-- oilpatch hand, 2024-10-21

### *---- "No connection"
I’ve been a Chronicle subscriber since the 70s and the clunky system still treat me like a non-subscriber. I get in the middle of an article and it cuts me off. Forget it goodbye Chronicle.
-- pacecorp, 2024-10-08

### ****- "Too liberally biased"
Far too liberally biased so you know what you’re going to get before you even read the articles or opinions but given the leadership it’s a foregone conclusion. Business is better but shifting to the left. Sports are Good.
-- wascds67, 2024-09-30

### ***** "Original reporting through an unbiased stance"
As a life long Houstonian who has received the chronicle for my whole 30 years of my life. The reporting is upfront with no sugarcoating. H-town the chronicle is worth it!
-- jack manor, 2024-09-30

### **--- "Paper"
We are not getting our paper and as much as it cost this is not acceptable.  You want your money so we want our paper.
-- fusgarden, 2024-09-20
