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.

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.

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.

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

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.
