Welcome to a new app experience, we have optimized our app and giving it a facelift! This faster iOS native app now has the following new features:

Your News:
Provide personalized recommendations for content based on user preferences. Users will be allowed to customize the content they want to engage with by selecting the topics they are truly interested in. By going to the “Your News” tab the user can bypass the noise of all that is published and home in on the content they want

Saved Articles:
Save feature that allows users to save articles or other content they are interested in for later reading or reference.Push notifications will remind users to read their saved articles or suggest related content

Custom Push Notifications:
The user can select what topics they want to be notified about which makes for a much less intrusive experience.

Top Navigation Bar:
A top navigation bar lets the user switch between sections by swiping or tapping.

Enews in-app:
Desire the newspaper experience? No need to open a separate app! By simply going to Settings and selecting E-News the user can browse the Digital Replica of the day’s paper.

Offline Reading:
This feature allows users to enable offline reading from Settings. Offline “Reading Preferences” can also be customized for Settings.

Swipe Left:
Instead of going back to the main section to find more articles, users have the option to simply swipe, immediately opening other articles in the Section.

Follow Topics:
A user will be shown articles on topics they are following. To follow select “follow” at the article level and related articles will gain relevancy and be shown more frequently. Just as easily “Unfollow”

a credit to Silicon Valley

the closest thing to getting the same quality of news as the paper. even the ads don't get in the way and are sometimes worthwhile. the interface designers have made an elegant, user friendly, and very useful phone interface for getting the news that matters to us fast. if only all program designers were so progressive and end-user focused!

Shouldn't have to pay if you subscribe to paper

This app is advertised everyday on the front of the San Jose Mercury News so I thought I would give it a try. I think the app is good overall, especially since I don't have the time to read the paper everyday but may hear about an article that is of interest, then I can go read it on my iPhone. The disappointing thing about the app is that, even though I subscribe to the paper, I would have to pay extra for this convenience. I think this should be included in my subscription and subscribers should given the option to just subscribe to service but not the paper (then pay for the service).

One of the worst apps

It is sad that a proud news organization has implemented such a poor app. Technically, be prepared for freezes, sudden disconnects, and a level of frustration. Content is poorly organized, poorly maintained and generally even more frustrating. Latest news focuses on yesterday's (or earlier) news, not what has happened since the newspaper was last published. While the sports department makes an effort to keep it fresh, old reports still dominate. The comics section is not updated completely every day. It is obvious there is no editor assigned to manage content accuracy and quality. Find another app if you want the latest news. CNN isn't too bad, and CBC and CTV very good for fresh international news.
