Ratings and reviews

Overall it's good, but there are a coupple major shortcomings. It's common for an article to have hyperlinks to another TNT article, but will send you to the web-browser instead of staying within the app. This can result in login issues. If it's a TNT article, keep it in the app! Likewise, I'll get push notifications from TNT that send me to the web-browser instead of the app. I don't have this problem with the NPR or AP apps. Fix these and it's easy 5/5. Support local news!

The new app sucks! The stories repeat themselves several times. The stories have no organized pattern on where they appear under the topics. And, in fact, appear under several topics as you scroll down the list. The old app was better. It is full of ads (as a subscriber I would expect different). Ads that get this reapet themselves down the same article, see above paragraph, it seems to be a thing. The old app was better. That one gave a list of articles you could scroll down.

I like the Tacoma News Tribune, but this app is exceedingly annoying in that it sends notifications of stories that may be of interest, but if you click on that notification, it NEVER takes you to the story, just to the "front page". Then it's just a matter of effort (and luck) to find the story you were seeking. I finally turned off the notifications as they just piss me off. I want to support local journalism, but how long do you think I'll keep paying for this "paper" when I no longer see it?
