I used to use the Seattle Times app on a regular basis Its been a while since I have used it so I thought I would try it again Unfortunately it is one of the worst apps I have used It is extremely slow and disorganized There are better ways to get the news     Terrible
UPDATED 526 Now am looking for Seattle news elsewhere as this app is bad beyond words Very disappointed in the new format and app I used to enjoy getting the headlines sans too many ads and pics and reading the articles in a reading pane style rather than a browser page Not intuitive and below Seattle times standards     If I wanted another browser
The new format is garbage I click on local news and get two stories followed by top news that isnt local at all     Rather have thee old one
Too slow for a first rate news operationneeds fixing yesterday     Much Too Slow
Sam robersons hates this app     Sam
This app is one of the most unprofessional apps Ive seen The following statement is from Apples website for developers Your app should be engaging and useful and make the most of the features unique to iOS Websites served in an iOS app web content that is not formatted for iOS and limited web interactions do not make a quality app This apparently is news to The Seattle Times     Not optimized for iPhone 6 and extremely slow
I am no longer able to read the paper due to your improved app It takes to much Tim to load there is no organization If you are reading one link if it loads and you want to go back to where you started you are out of luck The layout of the previous app at least followed a newspaper format this app is based on random confusion Thanks for nothing     You really screwed this one
Shows a very limited number of articles repeats its suggestions on lots of pages There is no search as far as I can tell Im ok without the Rants but I miss the Raves     You get what you pay for
The app just opens a new webpage whenever a story is selected You might as well just go the Seattle Times website There is absolutely no need for an app if all the app does is redirect to the website I will be deleting this     Just a website link
This app has become unusable It sits and spins loading all the time It sometimes takes minutes to open a page And then to add insult to injury when you simply want to go back it does the same thing I used to use this app daily for news Now Im using King5 News and AP too bad I wish I could post a screenshot of what I look at with this app But you get the idea     I never write reviews Horrible app
Since the revision navigation is much better The photos are great and it flows more like the print version The ads are prominent but not obtrusive I like the crisp appearance so I will definitely be using this app more now              Its getting much better
This is a slow app thanks sam roberston you are a liar and a crook     Load More like cant
Awful app SLOW you could walk to store and buy a paper copy while waiting for this to load and after it loads its extremely buggy articles open then close then pop back open     Terrible
Dont even bother with the app use the browser The app just links all articles to the browser anyway     Terrible
I used to read the Seattle Tomes headlines in chronological order and it was great for catching up on the latest Now its just a mess of things and I cant make heads or tails of it Time to delete the app Worthless     Horrible
Slow totally incomprehensible organization Not user friendly Prefer paper version over this nighmare     Undoubtedly the worst news app ever
By far the slowest app on my phone iPhone 5s It is in a league of its own At times I simply give up trying to load a story     Slow slower slowest
This version is terrible and pointless Every article opens in Safari Dont bother downloading and just use the mobile site instead     Opens in Safari with every click
I want to like this but it is so slow to load any article that its unbearable Its hard to believe the developers actually tried the app before they released it     So Slow
As much as I appreciate free news apps this is really bad Slow therefore impossible to navigate The ad videos however work perfectly they start randomly and drain your data allowance     Slowest news app Ive tried
I upgraded my iPad app after hearing that it was finally optimized I was sorely disappointed The app takes forever to load and once its open scroll is very laggy due to all the ads Worst of all when you click on an article it opens in Safari so to get back to the home page you have to either stay in the browser in which case what is the point in an app or change which app you are in Lame Dont make my mistake if you havent already updated     Useless app loads forever and opens articles in Safari
The textbased app was simple and easy to read This one is cluttered and assaults the eyes Theres lots of tapping needed to see more stories or to read the photo captions Stories often take a long time to load I rarely use this app anymore        Slow poorly organized cluttered
The ST app was great for years Just text Just news It loaded super fast and was reliable This new upgrade is just plain bad It is now the slowest news app on my phone Another example of why newer isnt better UPDATE A few months later Nothings changed The folks at ST apparently just dont care     New isnt necessarily better
Previous version was not the best but at least it was usablereadable without getting a headache This version is disorganized and difficult to navigate Take a hint from the Washington Post other news apps UPDATE 5515 Very little improvement Still chaotic slow frustrating to use Used this app several times per day prior to recent changes now use it a couple times a week just to see if it has improved Still enjoying the Washington Post app daily     UPDATE UGH
And Ive been learning Xcode for 2 weeks Literally makes me want to vomit code because it would be better than the code operating this dismal app     I could make a better app
Even worse than the old app Glitchy redirects to browser difficult to navigate Overall very bad Losing another reader     Terrible again
Its still not perfect but it is worlds better than the last iteration              Vast improvement
Unfortunately the Seattle Times chose the lazy route and just wrapped their site up in an app This isnt how you make a good iOS app and its not how anyone wants to read the Times content Sad to see     Disappointing
Im updating my review from 1 star to 2 stars The organization has improved theres now a list of articles below the first story Still needs a LOT of work and some decent information architecture but at least youre working on it Still would prefer the old quick text version but kudos for listening to readers a little bit        Some improvement
The old app may not have been elegant but it was functional and worked This new app is difficult to navigate very slow and has frequent request time outs Another annoyance is when using the back button to return to the home page you consistently are returned to a place one screen lower than where you started After waiting for these bugs to be fixed I think it time to delete and move on     Terrible
Slow     Not very good
And buggy     SLOW
The new format has downsides but is growing on me           Mixed feelings
This app is not even worth having It takes forever to load and thenvoilait shuts down I find this very surprising The NYT knows how to do this right I hope the ST folks talk to them about how to make this worthwhile     iPad App UnusableUnusable
I never write reviews but in this case I feel compelled Isnt it ironic that the iPadiPhone app for the premier newspaper for a techsavvy city has been so rotten for so long It takes forever or longer to load anything Formatting is poor scrolling is a challenge Check out the sleek new updates to the Washington DC or NY Times to see how it can be done well Im particularly unhappy because Im willing to support our local paper by actually paying for a digital subscription Cmon Seattle Times get your act together     Unbearably slow
Its almost like they designed it to operate so slow you wont use it     Sloooow
So you guys fixed the issue that caused links to articles to open a browser window We can now just read in the app yay Please continue to work on the app though Its still buggy and was not ready to release One issue the sharing button I clicked it to share an article on Facebook it places the link the body of the comment text instead of as an attachment Thanks for fixing bugs thus far Please continue to do so           Some improvements need more
Whats the point of an app that just opens the story in Safari when you click on it Interface and look is much improved but its just a giant link I dont need an app that just does that     Links to Safari
Page loads You can actually drive to your local store buy the print version drive back home have a cup of coffee eat breakfast and paint the house faster than pages load     Find another news source
I loved the old version so much better There is no order or purpose to this new app The categories and articles are muddied together Very disorienting Please fix I have been reading this site for years But not since this change     Disappointing
When the front page does load this app simply opens up the browser for each story Save the effort and just use the browser     Worthless
Ads all over No clear way to navigate Its just a horrible new design Please go back to the old way Update 525 still horrible but navigation semi better Still significantly buggy though Bring back Latest News too     Unhappy with new format
Slow to load hard to find the articles you want to read hard to read them when you find them     disappointing
I agree with the posted comment below about being able to drive up to the store and get the paper faster then the app loads news articles Please return to the text version of this app I read the Seattle Times daily now I open the app about once a week to see if they have fixed the slowness You would expect decent article load times from major newspaper like the Times     Slow to load anything
I used to use this app to read daily Now I just deleted the new app because it was so bad I used to enjoy actually being able to read articles in a simple straightforward manner With this new app its all about pictures and ads What broke the straw was that when I clicked on an article it would just take me to the webpage so why not just use the webpage Sad to see these changes     Bring back the old app
Every time I open this app I wonder if it will work When it does work the app is unpredictable and slow to respond Fewer and fewer people are reading newspapers If the Seattle Times doesnt make the effort to get this right they run the risk of continued loss in readers who rely on electronic media for the news and not an old fashioned paper newspaper We can do better things with all of those trees than make newspapers everyday     Terrible App
Weak update Just one big shortcut to the mobile site is all this app is Nothing special     Weird refresh
2014 review In the last month or so the performance on this app has become unbearable It now takes forever to load if it loads at all Even after it loads it is slow while browsing articles or hitting the back button Ive found myself giving up and switching to other news apps most of the time I have a iPhone 4 that I bought last fall Update 72715 I now have an iPhone 6 and have dealt with several versions of this app now and the program is still unreasonably slow Sometimes articles simply wont load even though I can browse the Internet just fine The most recent revision made it much harder to find specific columns like Carolyn Hax I use King 5 most of the time now since at least its fairly fast     Slow What happened in the last release
Cmon Seattle Times You can do better than this Yours is the slowest loading app among the dozens I use almost every day At times I run out of patience and just go to the PI for my local news     Why so slow to load
Wow this app is awful Pages are slow to load navigation is clumsy page layouts are awful Please Seattle Times shamelessly rip off the NY Times app or I will probably cancel my online subscription     Extremely Frustrating Experience
