Ratings and reviews

Update Aug 29, 2024: The latest version of the app just took a huge step backwards. Notifications take you to a login screen even if you're already logged in, then once logged in dumps you at the home screen instead of the story you were wanting to see. This morning clicking on a story headline took you to the wrong story details. Come on McClatchy staff, do better! I want to support local journalism, but this makes it hard.

This app still needs a lot of work but is improving. There is still no option to print the classic puzzles in the Android version. You can send to the printer, but it is printing an image that takes a lot of ink. The Windows works much better for printing the puzzles.

The newspaper has good content, but this app is weak. Links from headlines on the splash screen often open to a "page missing" page only for you to backpage to the article. However, you're not so lucky following links past this-- if you click links in articles you just get more blank "missing" pages with no way to actually access them. Also, notifications often pop up and when you click these you aren't taken to the article but just the main N&O splash page .

What's new

• Fixes an issue where puzzles weren’t displaying in the app and Edition.
• Fixes an issue where the app would freeze when panning and zooming on a replica page in Edition.
• Fixes a display bug with Edition article detail page section labels and author credit lines.
• Fixes an issue some users experienced with login persistence.
