The San Diego Union-Tribune

The UT is a fine paper and local media is very important, but the mandatory updates are way too frequent! The epaper was way easier to access a few months ago, and why are logins constantly required? I’ve had the New York Times app for near on a decade, and I don’t think I’ve been forced to update or log in the entire time, save for when I get a new phone. If the grey lady can do it, why can’t the UT?

For months I’ve enjoyed accessing the ePage Cover of the SDUT on my lower priced online access account , until a week ago when that access was blocked unless I pay for a full subscription. I don’t read the SDUT often enough to merit paying for a full subscription. Any more cheapening of the experience will have me biding farewell to the Union Trib.

Roll it back! Horrible format. I want to see the whole page and swipe to get to the next page. Just give me a list of the sections, I don’t need to see each page. I also don’t need to see all the past issues. If I want a past issue I will go to the archive. Why would you mess with something that worked!

This app although very useful when it works dumped me after 5 months into a prepaid one year subscription. The IT guy agreed I am a paid up subscriber but couldn’t fix the App to recognize that. He did provide a way to access thru my web browser so the contract has been honored.

Oh. And the latest authentication on the Apple store app will NOT EVEN ALLOW YOU to login. Complete waste of time. Broken app. Useless “news”, unless you like to hear gossip about Padres baseball team. Dont waste your money on this app. So, another working app forces me to update, for no apparent reason. And the app is no longer working or available. The app uses a separate useless third party app to “authenticate” my account. But it flat does not work. Absolutely worthless. No, i dont need to be contacted by anybody. It is YOU, app owner, that needs a working app. You dont need to fix it. You should just give up, and stop what you are doing. As soon as you read this. I would ban you from the Apple app store, but non-functioning app paid for with real money is not against TOS. At this time. Another Apple loophole that should be changed. The website via a browser still lets me login. Showing me they have completely brain dead tech people working at their company. Which is no different than their “news” team, who repost social media releases from corporations and government as unchecked facts. Really. We can blame google for ruining news. But the biggest blame is on the news industry itself. Which still cannot use modern technology, and no longer reports news. There is no replacement. News is just propaganda at this point. Maybe it will be reinvented some time in the future when it is desired again. Good luck making life decisions based on social media and its so called “influencers”.

Unable to read paper online. Can not find daily crossword. The UT broke something that didn’t need fixing.

Sure do not like the new format you have recently introduced. Very hard to go through everything to find where you have put the crossword pages. If I hit epaper I have to log in . Half the time it tells me my password is incorrect. Loved it when you just had it set up like you would if you got the paper. James Schaller, 34 Antigua Ct, Coronado, Ca.

Updates to UT app are a mess. Keeps asking if I’m a subscriber, even if I’m logged in. Doesn’t allow me to read articles, instead asking me to login - despite being logged in. Do better.

Keeps asking me to sign up to some secondary site to get access even though I’m paying for a subscription.

I’ve never experienced any technical issues or bugs with this app, as some people have indicated. I do like that the newest version allows me to zoom in on the text and maps on the weather page again!
