La Crosse Tribune

Looks like this was bad five years ago…and it still is! Very glitchy, crashes, freezes up. When we called the paper they told us it was our internet service. Just cannot imagine how internet service that can support the New York Times and the Washington Post isn’t good enough for this small town paper lol. We just cancelled our subscription.

Warning: as of Jan. 2022 you need a monthly subscription of 22.99 to read stories on this app.

It’s clear this app is not well supported nor do they have A-level talent (or B for that matter) working on it. It’s a shame considering local journalism will be going online more and more in coming years. As a paying subscriber, please invest in this app.

Starting two weeks ago the IOS on my iPad app displays pretty pictures, but every time you click to actually read the article it fails with a no content available message. I sent a message to the Tribune about the problem, but nothing has changed. The Android version is still working.

Like this app but the notifications have stopped working. If that is corrected I will give this review more stars.

Sometimes I can comment on a story - most of the time not. Often duplicate stories. Crashes. I wish the Trib would change to another news app provider for pushing out their news.

Ads, including long, loud video pop up frequently while scrolling through or reading stories. It is obnoxious. The layout of the app is not well organized. Oftentimes stories are not updated and the same newsfeed is in the latest section for days. Most recently there are stories in multiple. Not much local news. A lot of AP stories from all over. Lacking in local content and coverage. Sometimes inappropriate ads at the bottom of the screen. Latest version with pop up ads causes the app to crash frequently.

Thanks for taking over the screen to loudly play an advertisement (in the middle of reading an article) while I was reading next to my sleeping toddler. Luckily I'm fast with the home button.

I prefer to read online content much better on the web. Ads hijack the screen in the current edition. Oftentimes, these ads include video which will play and I am in what should be a quiet location.

Why is this app all of a sudden crashing/shutting down when reading? Just started yesterday. After uninstall/re-install it will allow reading of 1 article. After closing & opening later, it goes back to shutting down??
