  • Let me subscribe via my Apple subscriptions!

    Until then, I won’t subscribe.

  • Stop with the clickbait headlines

    They finally got a search bar and some of links- instead of none- now open in the app, so it’s better than it used to be, but please stop with the clickbait headlines. Currently- “Tens of thousands of UW Medicine patients have been waiting for this news.” You’re a news organization, don’t write headlines like. The app is still poorly organized. Half of what’s on the top news page is on the local news page. That’s just a waste. Not to mention what ends up on top news is often ridiculous and have to go to the search bar (thanks for finally getting one!) to find actual news on things I already know are happening.

  • Why pay for free news?

    By Dennytriangle
    They print the exact same thing you can see on KING5 for free with added whining about irrelevant issues that affect .01% of the population, all blown out of proportion to appear as a full-scale tactical assault on all humanity.

  • Seattle Times deserves better

    Photos do not render properly and linked articles don’t launch the app. The Seattle Times is a valuable resource for our region. The reporters and subscribers deserve better. A stronger app could also improve revenue at a time when the paper needs it.

  • Good paper; mediocre app

    This app is annoying enough that I’m compelled to write a review. For some reason, when you click on some links to other Seattle Times stories in the app, the app sends you to safari, where you have to log in to your Seattle Times account separately. Why? Equally annoying, the algorithm at show Seattle Times stories to you in, for example, the google search app, but unlike other news apps, when you click, it doesn’t take you to the app on your phone, and you hit the paywall. Annoying. These issues are not groundbreaking or insurmountable. Is there a shortage of competent app developers in Seattle????

  • Pictures not loading

    Recently, pictures did not load on articles for the iPad and now with the new version they do not load on the iPhone either.

  • Overpriced

    Mostly a bunch of stories you could read anywhere. But the biggest issue is the price, they still haven’t figured it out. Most folks are not going to pay $20 a month for a digital only subscription and they know it because for the exact same price you can get digital plus the hard copy Sunday Paper (if you live close enough to Seattle). Now they’ve restricted free stories to 5 a month trying to force people into subscriptions, when they should just lower the price to $9.99 or less. 1/2 of something is better than nothing. At $19.99 a month they aren’t competitive with a more extensive news source like Apple News at $12.99 a month. Whoever is in charge of marketing is delusional or they’ve decided the only market they’re going to chase is the well to do in Bellevue and the working class folks can just lump it. There are plenty of news sources with more extensive coverage for a lot less or even free. Yeah they have some unique reporting now and then but most of it is reprints from other news organization like the AP, Washington Post and NY Times.

  • Good Overall

    The Seattle Times app is great. I use it to stay up-to-date local news. But, the search function does not work at all. Recently certain parts of the app are appearing funky.

  • No comments

    Basic functionality is missing—the app doesn’t enable access to reader comments.

  • Need ability to read and write comments

    By Pigwidgin
    A request for enhancement: please give us the ability to read and write comments in the mobile app. Currently you can only do this in a web browser. Thanks.
