The Spokesman Review 4+

My biggest problem with the app is that half the time when I click on an article the reader friendly version won’t open. I then revert to opening the e edition from an email. I’ve already cut back my delivery from 6 days per week to four. If this app doesn’t improve and improve soon I’ll no longer be a subscriber to the SR and that will be the first time in 55 years that I’m not subscribed to the local paper.

FWIW I received an email from the SR on 8/1/23 advising me to download the “NEW 2023 Spokesman Review app” today. Clicked the link and it brought me to this same poor app! Come on guys get it together.

App doesn’t allow me to download daily editions on my iPad. At first, I could turn the iPad completely off then turn it back on and then down load a current edition. I could also remove the app completely then restore it and then download. But now neither of these two work arounds work. But for some reason I can download daily editions on my wife’s old iPad (so old that it can no longer be updated with the latest versions). I don’t know how much they paid for this new app version but whatever it was it was too much.

Took me a week to find the time to research why the old app wasn’t working. Now that I have the new app I find it much more user-friendly. While it doesn’t “look” like a print newspaper, it’s easier to navigate, less glitchy, and just smoother overall than the old app. And there’s always the web-based e-edition if I want a different way to navigate. Great upgrade!!
