Ratings and reviews

This app does its job; you can read the news on a very similar format to a physical newspaper, but there isn't much more to it. Limited search abilities and menu options to find articles that interest you, and often links to other articles do not work and take you to a browser article where you are not signed in and can't read the article unless you enter your Seattle times account info. If you have a Seattle times subscription and don't want the hassle of physical papers, this is a good option.

Ugly news app! The typeface (font) looks like they typed it on a typewriter! No dark mode, no settings options, yet they advertise a dark mode-where is it? No wonder everbody reads the WAPO, which is where most articles come from in the Times. They finally figured-out how to "embed videos" into their news app! The "ads activity" slows the app down to a crawl in a short amount of time after reading 10 articles or more, just exit and restart the app to fix the sluggishness!

The content is great but every time you click on an article it takes you to the wrong article. I'm assuming this is to get extra clicks registered because the second time you try it works every time. Even worse old articles are at the top of sections. I had a heart attack seeing "Bobby Wagner out for the year" at the top of the Seahawks section until I saw it was from 2 years ago. I won't be renewing my digital subscription as a result.
