Tulsa-World 12+

App doesn’t work for me

I have been reading the Tulsa World through my browser, which seems to be the only way. I had the app before I subscribed, and that may be the problem. I removed the app and then reinstalled it from the App Store. It looks good. But when I go to the second page, it says subscribe before you continue. But when I go to the menu, it says I am logged in and shows my user name. But when I go back, it’s still won’t let me go past page 1. I’d like very much to use the app if it would let me in.

I will keep trying different things to see if I can get it to work. I also tried going through the link that says Support. That just logged me into the Tulsa World. So it’s hard getting help. Eventually I may have to give up.

Hot Garbage

This app is difficult to navigate and makes finding where I would like to go difficult. The layout is not well designed and instead of just showing me stories, I have all these tiny section boxes to navigate. Why are things like classified ads and work listings even presented? If you click those sections it tells you that they are not supported on the mobile app. Not good.

Then there are the number of “slideshow” type list articles such as 20 places to visit. These articles are ruined on the mobile app, all they do is present the title text and then there is no content besides the first photo. On the website’s e-edition you can scroll through a slideshow of pictures to read the article but none of the content is present. What a shame.

Finally, although this is not the app, TW has gone downhill fast in terms of journalism and being a public forum. No more supported comments except in Facebook show the offloading of features and content for cost savings.

Latest TW update

The newest update is pretty sleek looking but it sure is touchy! Without fail when I scroll down to continue reading, it bumps me to the previous or next page. And I don't understand the links to the Oklahoman.... If the TW can print the entire article, why can't we view the whole thing from the "text" version of the app? Instead, I have to change to the "page" version to see it. However I am grateful for the app so I can use the epaper to keep up when I'm traveling and the other sections like Latest News and Weather are handy as well.
