Ratings and reviews

Great writing held back by a weak app. Links to articles don't open in the app. Even some articles you click in the app take you to the browser and don't remain in-app. Most the subscription options in the app are to sports teams or coronavirus. They have environmental section in the Tribune but not in the app. Worst of all the Tribune fills up my email despite constantly trying to unsubscribe from emails and just get push notifications.

Biggest issue I have with the Tribune app is that it does not keep place if I switch to another app then back to finish reading the story - it always takes me back to the beginning. Same thing happens when I view an embedded video. Having a progress bar on the side to give me an idea how much of the article I've read would be the 2nd item I'd fix.

There are improvements over the old version. However, three issues really irritate me. 1. I can no longer customize the sections that appear at the top of my screen. To get to my local suburban newspaper, i must dig through a big list in the menu. 2. The article previws are mow huge. One article preview consumes most of my screen. it is much harder to scroll through the headlines now. 3. "Articles" from so called "local contributors". I pay$15 monthly to read news from real journalists!
