User Reviews

Reviewers generally praise The Tuscaloosa News app for local/UA news coverage and strong journalism, with the latest version viewed as an improvement. However, there are notable recurring issues: subscription/access problems and onboarding friction, a less intuitive UI compared with the old app, and occasional stability problems (crashes, blank screens) after updates. Content quality and sports coverage are widely valued, but reliability and ease of use need attention.
Pros
  • Strong local and Alabama news coverage, including Crimson Tide sports, with access to the full newspaper online.
  • Positive reception to the updated/new version, with improved usability and design, especially on iPad.
  • High-quality journalism and photography with timely, well-written stories.
Cons
  • Subscription/access issues and login problems blocking use (blank screens after subscribing; repeated prompts to subscribe).
  • UI/navigation changes in the new version feel less intuitive and differ from the old app, causing confusion.
  • Stability problems including crashes and general app malfunctions, particularly after OS updates.

After subscribing with a 1 year promotion of $9.99/yr. I am unable to access the enews and only see a blank screen.

I've enjoyed this app for several years. I appreciate being able to read the full paper. Since upgrading to OS 14, the app crashes frequently on opening a new story. Hope the developers fix this.
