Ratings and reviews

It's a bare bones app for a bare bones small town newspaper. You can't see any comments, there's no dark mode and you can't enlarge photos or graphics, despite there being an enlarge symbol which often covers up part of the graphics. And selecting a link to another ST article will take you to the web and not stay within the app which is weird. It's very low tech but better than their website which is laughably bad.

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.

Spans the range from minimally competent (displays articles, doean't crash phone most of tge time) to infuriating (no search capability; links to other Times articles open in browser, where the lousy Web implementation prevents sign-in). I'm kind of stuck with it as the app for my hometown paper, but it's not nearly as good as others of its genre.
