Shaw Local app for ios
Generally, the app displays the newspaper as expected. What is not expected is the unfriendly manner this app is to regular users. Itwill not remember the user from one session to the next requiring login again and again. Seems to allow login memory for PC. This app could be more user friendly but it is tolerable.

United StatesSubtitles
Where are the subtitles. Just tried to read an article on the 5 to watch in area basketball and I didn’t even know who I was reading about because the kids’ names were not listed
United StatesGreat customizable news source
I love that the app lets me set up a custom feed of just the news that’s most relevant to me. I like to follow my local area’s news, but also want to keep up to date with how the Bears are doing, and through the settings, I can have those two things show up first in the app.
United StatesNot a fan
The app edition is not identical to the print edition. For example, some secondary headlines are missing, which makes for challenging reading- especially when reading about local high schools sporting previews and the like. Using the URL was much better than the app but Shaw forces the app on subscribers. Good thing we still get the print edition.
