User Reviews

Users praise Seattle Times Mobile for detailed local coverage and usefulness, but report persistent usability and access issues. Major concerns include paywalls and high costs, links opening in Safari with separate logins, lack of in-app comments, weak or unreliable search, and content loading problems. Some improvements and bug fixes have been noted, but overall sentiment is mixed: strong content marred by accessibility and reliability frustrations.

Pros

Very detailed and comprehensive coverage of Seattle and Washington.
Helps users stay up to date on local news; described as a strong local-news resource.
Noted improvements and bug fixes (such as a search bar and power bug fixes) that improve usability.
Valuable content that keeps readers informed about regional issues.

Cons

Paywall and high subscription costs / limited free articles, with frequent mentions of 3-article limits and gating.
Links from within the app often open in Safari and require separate login, breaking the seamless experience.
Lack of in-app reader comments; inability to view or post comments within the app.
Search functionality is poor or unreliable; even when present, it’s inconsistent or hard to use.
Images and article content frequently fail to load or render properly; reliability issues.

Recent reviews

Very detailed and comprehensive coverage of Seattle and Washington, with balanced coverage of issues. One thing that I wish the functionality would include is cross-link launching of articles in the app from links in subscriber e-mail. Often times I click on a link to an article in the e-mail, which launches the browser (for which I have to always log in to read in private mode). Instead, it should launch or link to the article in the Seattle Times Mobile app. It’s a pain and a hassle that it doesn’t do this. (Feature request by a subscriber). For this, I give the mobile app 2.5 stars.

I pay for the Seattle times online subscription to read unlimited articles. But even when logged in using that account I can only read 2 articles on the app. You need to buy a SPECIAL APP membership to use the app fully. Trying to support print media by buying an online subscription only for them to insist on you paying even more.
