    Many distractions

    Content of local news is good. Too many popups makes it difficult to read. But you can use the replica edition for a more focused reading experience.

  • ★★★★★Vito Sparrow

    Frustrating

    It’s always something with this app. You barely touch the screen and the page increases in size so you can’t read it.

  • ★★★★DisappointedBen

    Stop!

    Pls stop the incessant request to review!!!

  • ★★★★★Col. Fantastic

    Love the Chronicle

    I’ve been reading the Chronicle since I was a kid. I miss Dick, Tracy, Donte, and Gordo. I especially love the coverage of our local sports teams.

  • ★★★★Anicsf

    Forces subscribers to login via web for some articles

    Not a good app experience because as a paying subscriber I am navigated to the browser for some articles and have to log in each time.

  • ★★★★Gigiberkeley

    Pay Wall, always

    I subscribe. A few years ago I canceled and resubscribed. Since then I’m blocked if I’m in the app. I called and spoke to tech support. They told me they aren’t showing an account for me. Really frustrating.

  • ★★★★★iutreedfhjjkuy

    Liberal Bias

    The optional content gets a bit ridiculous. Maybe express opinions from both sides of the big topics.

  • ★★★★Nohelphereatall

    Terminate

    I canceled the paper and was still charged unfairly

  • ★★★★what's in your wallet?

    Too many pop up boxes asking for a review

    See title. App works fine though

  • ★★★★CAwinediva

    Why did you change the format?

    The recent changes to the e-edition have made it impossible for us to enjoy the paper. We may have to cancel our subscription.
