User reviews

Poor app for reading the tribune on my phone. The app still doesn't have sections for reading the comics, or for doing the puzzles like the Daily Jumble and sodoku. Can't use the search feature to find these sections either; they are only available when reading the tribune online in a browser. The decreasing quality of the tribune doesn't help. Investigative journalism articles are decreasing in quantity and quality. Editorials are often poorly reasoned and written.

This is the worst newspaper app of any I have used. A couple recent news article on the front page, then just a bunch of old photo links. Major holes in coverage. Searching for things you know are there somewhere is difficult. Truly, just awful. And why? Every other news so works just fine?

I've been a Trib fan for 50+ years, starting with the comics. But the Trib wants me to quit. The price skyrocketed, while everything else was reduced: paper's size, staff, journalistic integrity. Though logged in, the app doesn't let me read some articles. The Jumble and Sudoku (ruined with endless commercials) aren't accessible anymore. Clicking on a front page digital edition article often displays only the 1st few paragraphs. Why? It's a daily disappointment.
