Ratings and reviews

For a while, the app worked flawlessly. Now, as a subscriber, I'm constantly told I've read my free articles for the month and asked to log in again, on a daily basis. Additionally, photographs and drawings stopped showing up in stories, and I'm forced to use dark mode because my phone is in dark mode despite preferring to read news in a light mode.

I can't scroll to the bottom of articles. I start reading and get into the article, but then I can read it to the end! The most basic function of a news media app is to be able to read all of the words. What a failure. Update: it also frequently opens an article different than the one I clicked on. Update: now it crashes every 15 seconds

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.
