Ratings and reviews

Overall it's good, but there are a coupple major shortcomings. It's common for an article to have hyperlinks to another TNT article, but will send you to the web-browser instead of staying within the app. This can result in login issues. If it's a TNT article, keep it in the app! Likewise, I'll get push notifications from TNT that send me to the web-browser instead of the app. I don't have this problem with the NPR or AP apps. Fix these and it's easy 5/5. Support local news!

I like the Tacoma News Tribune, but this app is exceedingly annoying in that it sends notifications of stories that may be of interest, but if you click on that notification, it NEVER takes you to the story, just to the "front page". Then it's just a matter of effort (and luck) to find the story you were seeking. I finally turned off the notifications as they just piss me off. I want to support local journalism, but how long do you think I'll keep paying for this "paper" when I no longer see it?

The app, like the website, is nice looking but needs so much more work. I can't log into my account on the app and I can't share articles. After one article, they throw up a paywall which sucks because how will you show people it's worth a subscription if they can't read more than one article for free??? When I try to share something from the app, it tries to share the pic on the piece, not a link. Will check back for improvements and adjust rating.
