After several years, this is still the worst newspaper app on the internet. Too bad, since it is actually a great newspaper. How is it bad: For example, there is no search function. I get the EBT home delivery and wanted to share an article from today's paper, but could not find it using the app. How lame is that? As our Dear Leader would say: Sad!

Keeps me current keeps me current with my neighborhood area papers don't get wet only the East Bay times I always buy Sunday paper or early Saturday

Great way to get our local news.

No search capability

Can't turn off notices.

Awful App! Won't load on my tablet and hasn't updated on my phone since 9/8.

Ok if you want to read last Sunday on Thursday Doesn't work

Unreadable, Buggy Note 7: 1) The font used in body of articles is unreadable. Text size is adjustable, but all sizes are very fine-lined and gray looking. The font used in headlines is ok; the same font could be used in body of articles as well. 2) scrolling through headlines is unnecessarily jerky due, I think, to animation. Just allow a simple scroll! 3) Crashed all 3 times I tried it, once on launch and twice while in use. Note 7.

No Kindle compatible app?

Few article views then I have to subscribe I just downloaded the app, after looking at 3 articles "ive reached my 30 day limit" are you serious??? Waste of time...horrible app

Hate it. I am print subscriber. It keeps locking me out after reading one article. Please fix it.

Only lets you see 2 views then you got to install it do it again

Limits number of views in a month!

Skip this app It keeps limiting me despite my being a print subscriber. Skip it.

Unwanted push notifications. Since I can't turn off the push notifications I'm getting after the recent update, I will be unstalling this application.

Contra Costa Times This app sucks..most of the time it won't open...

Contra #1 Just try the game and see.really exiting .....

New App Sucks The new app is slow period.... the old app was alot faster.....

Never works right. Freezes.

They took away the sharing options I loved that I could easily text article links to people, but the new version only lets you email, Facebook, twitter share. Not sure why they would want to limit sharing this way.

Better updates to stories but... While I appreciate improvements, not all change for the sake of change is good. The pics that go with the headlines are so large that it slows down the process of looking for stories and, in turn, seeing ads. I used to check stories regularly but now only check about every 2 weeks. Please make the pics smaller so your users (and advertisers) will be happier.

POS New version will not load any articles. The old version worked just fine. My Grandfather was a mechanic and had a saying "If it ain't broke then don't fix it."

No problem running it, but with every update that comes out, it seems to be a downgrade from the previous version. Wouldn't surprise me if the next update is just a link to the website.

New Version.... Buggy, very slow

usta b good was my fav app. but now not worth it

Did not load .... I try to have faith, and support the bay area. But the app is not functional, c'mon mayne!!!

Basic News App that Gets the Job Done This is a standard news app with basic functions. It works well and is easy to navigate. It's not tablet optimized and isn't visually interesting, but looks good enough. Traffic info now uses Google Maps, but is slow & glitchy. Options are very limited, so you can't reorder the categories, create favorites, or mark to read later, & notifications aren't available, but you can increase the text size of stories. Ads are unobtrusive. Overall, as a simple news source from Bay Area News Group, it does its job.

Not free I loved this app until they started having ads. Then I just liked it until they started charging a monthly fee. Now I am uninstalling it.

Now charging for a substandard news app Not worth paying for this content. Ad based was ok, but not subscription based.

Does not scroll now. Latest two versions will only show first view of article. If that is not all of it you are out of luck. Droid Charge Andr.2.3.4

Too many non-Contra Costa articles OK news app. Disappointing that the 'local news' page consistently has 80% non-Contra Costa County stories. In fact most are about San Jose. I asked developers about this but got no response.

Cost money really.. Good luck.. Wouldn't pay for something that sold be free..

Cant scroll down to read news

Where is the beef I can't get local news. All I can get is from the south bay area and San Jose. This is the CONTRA COSTA Times not the Mercury News!

Uninstalling Have to pay for the subscription! I don't think so! If I'm going to pay for the paper I will have it delivered to my front door!

Constantly closes Just updated to the new version and still will not work on my Inc 2. As soon as you open the app, it closes. Same problem as before.

News? More like Olds.. Content is rarely updated, and some articles are essentially duplicated, news being copy&pasted with altered titles. Now C.C.T. limits THAT and wants you to pay. I'd rather set my money on fire

Used to love Cannot even open..please fix..I miss my local news..was working so well..:(

Latest update a fail. Keeps crashing after this update.
