Not a bad app if I could make it thru an article without crashing Come on people its 2015 and youre supposed to be a top market news org Catchup with the times and fix your app Been having this issue for weeks and dont experience it with other apps NYT WSJ USATODAY I had experienced constant crashing when the app was new years ago It improved some over time Now its worse than ever I may have to cancel my delivery altogether I dont read the hard copy delivered to my home     Unreadable
I encounter lots of regular reoccurring problems that cause the app to shut down up expectantly It also takes up a lot of space it is my 2nd largest app     disappointing
I used to be able to share articles to Facebook from this app but that feature doesnt work any more When I try all that gets shared is the photo from the article        What changed
I have a subscription being delivered to my home and this app does not recognize it Always asking me to enter my user name and password before I read an article Then it is constantly crashing     Needs a lot of work
Search seems to gather information beyond Chronicle information that is not pertinent to the locale of my interest           SEARCH NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
This is the most unstable app I have ever tried to use Layout and content are good but it crashes every time I try to use it     Unstable
The Chronicle app should be better than it is The New York Times and WSJ are a lot better apps than this        Could be a lot better
It crashes it crashes it crashes The HELP desk finally gets you going again so that you can scan the content Only 20 of the print newspaper seems to make it to the e version Reading the printed paper is much more satisfying but when the newspaper boy sleeps in the app is all that is available unless it crashes which it likely will I would not pay 1 mth for this app        Pathetic App for a major newspaper
I read the post too and find this app kinda slow in download but the quality of the pics are very good Come on you guys Most of the time I cant open the downloaded newspaper I download it three or four times and still cant read it offline Check out the Denver Posts digital I think you need a different developer for the digital copy     Needs a better interface
The Houston Chronicle app has finally started working on my elderly iPad fourth gen In previous iterations it would crash regularly and force me to reboot in order regain control of my tablet I cannot say if it is because of the IOS up dates or Hearsts efforts but this latest version is working consistently for me on this machine for the first time since I first installed it two and a half yrs ago                 Finally
Sometimes this app works really well Sometimes its fraught with crashes and freezes that are incredibly frustrating to a paid subscriber If the content would load as smoothly and consistently as the banner ads it would be an excellent app As it is now Im staring at a frozen screen with the pinwheel of death trying to load a story after validating my subscription but those banner ads sure are loading and rotating smoothly        Inconsistent Performance
It seems to me that much of the content in the print version is not available thru this app I search for things I have seen in print and have great difficulty finding them Maybe it is the search function Also the ad at the bottom of the screen often cuts off the bottom line of the text in the content I find this very annoying           Usable
Constant freezing which requires restart of iPad Gotten slightly better over the last few updates but still on the very low end of publication apps     Terrible App
This app while convenient is disappointing Its as though they publish the paper before its ready 1 Lorum ipsum being used instead of completed paragraphs why Is the article not finished 2 Ad copy obscuring last sentence on a page sometimes to the point that theres no way to determine whats being said 3 General sloppiness eg Sometimes printing headline twice Sentences in the body of an article that completely contradict the headline 4 Too many popup ads 5 Insertion of photos next to articles that are completely irrelevant           Room for improvement
Crashcrash and more crashes     Crashes
If I give less than one star I would It is impossible to get confirmed and use it I am paying for a digital subscription that I cannot access and I have tried repeatedly There is zero customer support     worst reading app of any publication
Ive been a Houston Chronicle subscriber my whole life and while I like the paper I hate their technology both this app as well as their website Rarely can I get through the paper wo the app failing to load or crashing And the sales banners across the bottom are terrible impossible to finish an article Come on Chronicle act like youre the mouthpiece of the nations 3rd largest city and not like you have the market cornered     Terrible
I love getting the Houston Chronicle app on my iPad However I continually have problems with the app It seems the Houston Chronicle does not recognize the app and I am continuously call the Chronicle to get the problem straightened out After 3 years I am still struggling with the app therefore I DO NOT RECOMMEND it     Houston Chronicle app
Very erratic app No where near as good as the NYT or the WSJ Pretty sad for the major newspaper of the 4th largest city in the US     Pretty bad
It is actually pretty good once you are able to log on But I have to resubmit my registration every single time I try to use the app and it always says my email password are not recognized It is so frustrating that I have to spend hours while Im on vacation trying to get the thing to open     Worst app ever
Update This app worked well for several weeks Now I can no longer open the paper It repeatedly takes me back to the subscription page I log in it says congratulations start reading then does not open current section but opens several days ago and if I try to open article I am back on subscription page It is worthless that Hurst papers cannot support this app is ridiculous April 2015 I have used this app for over two years Recently it started crashing took a long time or never to load and showed that only 28 of pages loaded I was ready to cancel my subscription I was using an iPad 216gb and had installed IOS 8 I found out I should not have updated it I now have an iPad Air with more storage and my chronicle app is working perfectly I thought it was the chronicle app when actually my upgraded device did not have adequate storage to run the app My web browsing was also difficult slow reloading pages and crashes                 Works great with new iPad
I really enjoy the crossword formatmuch better than the crossword format for USA today I also appreciate the photo galleries Unfortunately the app still crashes often if I dont finish the crossword in one sitting           Getting Better
Worst paper app ever Not readable Crashes all the time     Crashes all the time
Constantly crashes Takes forever to load if it loads at all Doesnt include all of the comics only the color ones Id love to be able to use this app but since it crashes I return to the online version     Constantly crashes
Hard to sign in but does the job Even though I paid for subscription there still are adds Isnt that why you pay for subscriptions 3 stars for being average           Clunky but work
Good newspaper but a terrible app for the iPad I have to delete the app and reinstall it to clear the 2 gigs of space it takes up Please provide an option to delete the cache that builds up I use the Live version the most        Ms
This application is unacceptable It crashes each time you switch stories forcing you to relogin each time evidently the remember password feature does not work with the ap either I have rebooted my iPad and deleted and reinstalled the ap which hasnt helped Guess I will have to stick with the paper edition but wait its 740 and its still not here     Subscriber
Dont waste your time and money     Terrible
I really want to like this app But it keeps crashing and kicking me back to re establish my subscription Works better when I delete entirely and use 14 day trial why even though I pay for a subscription Basically unusable even after long awaited update     Super frustrating
An IPad application was a great idea for the Chronicle The NYTs content and application is so good I think I pay about 20 a month for it Unfortunately the Chrons content is and has been for a long while oh where art thou Richie Justice very average These guys have been mailing in the effort for years I thought I would give them another chance with my money with this app after a long hiatus from being a subscriber After all they at least still have John McClain Alas the application is so inept as to be worthless Its a better experience reading it on the internet for free Whats wrong Well many times the application will not even open Nice guys Then when it does open it is excruciatingly slow From the initial opening sequence to swiping pages within stories to changing sections Want to download it once to read later so it will at least load faster I tried that once and gave up after 10 MINUTES when it still hadnt finished Somehow the NYT is faster in every single way and downloads the entire freaking content in about 15 seconds Why on earth cant the Chrons app do that Theres no excuse even considering the Chron is a fraction of the price of the NYT on a monthly basis Even considering the Chrons price it is not a value Open memo to Hearst executives you blew it fellas Can the morons who developed the app and wrote the software and hire some real developers who can put out a quality product Until then I will read the Internet version for free until you go bankrupt Sorry     Why Hearst loses money
Can go days before the news is displayed I can drive to a store and buy the paper quicker than this app loads And lets be honest the Houston Chronicle isnt worth the effort     Pathetic
Unlike some of the other reviews of this app I find it works great for me I would read the paper here than the paper copy I love this app                 Needs Improvement
I just had to delete the app It was taking up over 5 GB of storage I deleted the editions and it only freed up 05 GB I just checked my Baton Rouge Paper App and takes a fraction of the space and reads like a paper without the constant rotation to get the article out from under the advertisement at the bottom Fix it people        Still needs work too much data use
Takes too long to load Have to delete and download Houston Chronicle doesnt care one way or the other     Chronicle doesnt care
Like everyone else has said it takes several tries to download a paper which would warrant a bad rating by itself But the inability to read offline violates the Apple standards of Newstand apps I cant believe Apple let this even be published Text is often filled with ipsum lorem so its clear that no one proofreads the issues     Cant read offline
Four years three iPads same problems Hangs on loading at least 3 days out of 7must hard off device and reboot to gain access to current edition Will not hold font sizing between articles Crashes back to editions page when selecting article from sections page     No stability iPad Air
MAYBE WORSE This app ranks right up there with one of the worse apps I have ever used It is dependable at best 50 percent of the time Thats a pretty poor excuse for a customer interface Maybe Ill start paying for my subscription 50 percent of the time     Since You Asked Nothings Changed except
For some reason this app wont open for 23 days at a time meaning I dont and cant read the paper for this time Then one day it opens and all the issues are available     App crashes way too much
I have enjoyed this app in the past However it was crashing repeatedly in my new iPad I deleted and redownloaded and logged back in and it is working perfectly now I suggest you try that The clean install will probably fix your problems                 The fix
I cancelled my subscription some time ago and went back to see if they made any improvements and so far so good I resubscribed a couple of months ago My only suggestion is one more larger text size              Vast I Say Vast Improvement
Good app but youve got to remove the sections that dont change week after week Like the Top 100 employers and Top 100 restaurants           Remove the Top 100 sections already
I really like to read the Chronicle on my iPad but their app needs lots of work It constantly shuts down and I have to reopen the app to finish reading the article or working on the crossword There used to be a box open up that would ask you to report the unexpected shutdown Now even this does not happen and obviously they have not fixed the app Too bad because I do like reading the Chroniclethis y           This app needs lots of work
Still locks up currently it is attempting to load July 5th addition forever Cannot access at all     Worse and worse
The app works but I wish it had a better offline experience It seems to lose the edition when Im offline even if Ive pulled it down prior to going to airplane mode A continuing criticism of mine           Offline use is not dependable
I enjoy reading the Chronicle again using the ap The problems of failing to open and the crashes seem to be resolved As I travel enjoy being able to conveniently being to read local to international new              It Works
App should always open in the most current edition You waste our time going to pick the current edition Leaving pictures on for months is insulting Makes it look like you dont ever look at your own product You wouldnt do that in a print edition You should use the same screen gestures as the Wall Street Journal Theirs are easy fast and intuitive     Awful and you dont make improvements
My wife and I have tried repeatedly to gain access to the iPad app for over a year wo success Even though we are HC subscribers and have access to our online profile and account at HC the app will not recognize that we exist Calls to the support line are answered w well get back to you in 2448 hrs Silence This morning no paper arrived in the front yard and there was no eoption available I wish there were another newspaper in Houston     Subscriber wo Access
In general the Houston Chronicle app works just fine on my iPad I use it primarily to read the paper on Monday Tuesday when I do not get a thrown paper Sometimes when I try to open the Monday edition the app says it is doing something but it just cycles and cycles When this happens I have to reboot my iPad which irritates me no end However it always solves the problem When the app loads properly reading the paper works well The format is useful At times the icons for the various sections get erased and I have to fish around a bit to find what I am looking for This anomaly does not bother me nearly as much as the reboot              Occasionally irritating
The latest update was so bad that I cancelled my subscription after years of paying for my daily paper App just spins endlessly I used to see that and just reboot to open edition okay it was never a great app but now it just keeps spinning on with reboot Is anyone paying attention over there     Subscription cancelled
Ive had this app for over a year It DOESNT work more often than it does work It cant update editions data just spins The people at the Chronicle are not responsive either absolutely useless     Useless
