Seattle Times Mobile

Recently, there has been a problem with this app. When scrolling through an article, sometimes it will freeze up and stop scrolling, sometimes at a photograph it will just never display, sometimes the text after a photograph the paragraph of content just shows as white space. Sometimes when scrolling back toward the beginning of an article, the content will of disappeared. In short, the application has become buggy And does not reliably display either photographs or article content. When this happens, it is necessary to back out of the article and try to read it again, or sometimes even close the app. This did not used to happen, so this is an introduced set of bugs or problems, an issue that was not there before

Love Seattle Times and love keeping up with local news. But this app is stuck in 2010. No search option makes it very hard to find articles that aren’t on the homepage. Links of other ST articles open in safari and there’s no option to open on ST app. We live in an epicenter of tech savy talent, and this is what we get from the biggest paper in the city.

Thank you for the quick response developers! I very much appreciate it, 5⭐️!

Updating my review to say that the last update fixed the problem with my iPhone overheating. Thanks very much for the fix! And a belated thank you for making the app follow iOS text size directives.

Thanks much for fixing the power bug which came in with dynamic article refresh! App is so much better now.

News coverage of Seattle is good but this app overheats my phone for some reason. Please fix this as it won’t be good for the longevity of my phone.

It is incredibly hard to cancel your subscription where you have to call customer service and you have to call within their business hours while creating your subscription can be done in one click online

Lazily and poorly written newspaper offers a fitting obituary to the once fine city whose demise it not only chronicled but whose folly it helped expedite.

The definition of a mid app. What is there works ok, but lack of search for a news app is unacceptable.

Article refresh schedule seems to have been tweaked and is much better. Lack of search for archives or the day’s paper is annoying, but search in general is a mess at the moment and frankly no search is better than AI searches. The ad inserts are problematic because they interfere with phone scrolling, being so oversized. The facsimile app allows you to print out crosswords and take ‘em on the ferry. Previous review: It cannot be this difficult to write an app that automatically yanks the full text of every posted article off a server and dumps it into the app. How many programmers are there in Seattle? Apparently the Times can hire none. No search. Incomplete content. Links open outside the app. Yesterday’s news today. No font size adjustment (for something whose readership certainly trends towards needing reading glasses). Come ON. Update: the late-to-never article posting has been fixed, but links still open outside the app. No good reason exists for a user to have to log in multiple times to read something referenced in a current article.
