Ratings and reviews

I can read articles, that's about the only good thing. Is the only newspaper I subscribe to where I can't get the app to automatically launch when I click an article link. It opens in browser and won't let me view because it logs me out in browser regularly, so I have to open the app and then search for the article. That search functionality is also super inconsistent and often shows older articles ahead of those published that day.

The only irritating aspect of the digital experience is whenever I try the browser version it challenges me for subscription: I need to relogin and it acknowledges. Once I go back to read articles from home it goes into a loop and challenges all over. Sometimes I need to use browser and this doesn't help - this may not be an app issue. But bad experience nevertheless. Otherwise, the app lets you read articles. Moreover, the feature to gift article works only from browser mode of dig. Edn. - sad

Easy to use and updates regularly. Really enjoy the interactive articles. Notifications of breaking news is helpful too. Lots of photos, maps and charts. The additional interactive features are great. There are many restaurant reviews for locally owned businesses. They've added a food search tool. Regular columnists contribute insights and opinions on life in the Bay Area, politics, culture and racial equity.
