Like news, like app
Both are garbage. Subscribing to the app via the App Store doesn't enable access via the web. The app has no search function, arbitrarily switches back to the front page with no go back feature so you can resume reading, doesn't show the comments appended to the article and doesn't allow comments to be made. Then again, the ST arbitrarily decides to block comments on articles with a stated policy that they abandon on a whim, especially when readers criticize their sloppy journalism. Being in Boeing's back yard you'd think they would put a competent person to report on aerospace matters, instead they've got a mathematician who pretends competence in aeronautical engineering and feigns knowledge of what goes on inside Boeing and passes off erroneous speculation based on his grotesquely mangled understanding of aeronautics as fact. No abiding by the Journalist's Code of Ethics here, too busy desperately cranking out sensational click-bait to lure readers to their advertising or tricking readers into paying twice for the rubbish they spew out, so they can pay the electric bill and take one last dying gasp before being rendered obsolete by the internet. The truth dies at the Seattle Times.
United StatesThe worst
App I have ever had the displeasure to use. It is truly beyond me how the Seattle times app is rated over 4.5. It is completely useless. Articles do not open approximately 70% of the time, poor sorting options, godawful loading for images. I use an iPhone 13 plus on fiber internet and have zero issues with other, much more demanding apps. Save your time and just login online, the experience is infinitely better.
United StatesLost ability to zoom
If you tap a photo all it does is show it alone. You used to be able to zoom in and see details, but that’s been removed from the app. Even the caption of the photo is hidden requiring another tap to see the photo. The inability to zoom in on a photo makes the app considerably worse than the website. It’s baffling they would remove such basic capabilities as zooming a photograph and make it hard to read the caption for it.
United StatesSearch??
I can’t find search in this app. Am I missing something, because a news app without search is ridiculous.
United StatesExtremely limited
This app makes it easy to read articles, and you can bookmark articles to come back to. However, there are significant limitations. For example, there is no search function. The articles you can view are limited by what you can browse to, which means you often can’t find older articles or articles that are not being featured. Also, when using the app you can’t see any comments, or make a comment, or even see whether comments are enabled on the story - you would have to open the article in a web browser, which is not easy to figure out how to do from the app itself (if it is even possible). Finally, I subscribe to the daily newsletter to get the rundown on featured stories; but when you click on an article from your email, the link opens the article in a web browser, not the app, and once you hit the paywall, you have to log in every single time you want to view an article in a browser. In general, the app seems to be very poorly integrated with other technologies, and it is very challenging to use the app to find or track a story.
United StatesWhy No Search in App!
Really? No in-app search for articles? Why?
United StatesFix your broken scrolling
iPad, iPhone both have terrible scrolling that are non responsive and constantly take the user “back” accidentally.
