User Reviews

The Tampa Bay Times app delivers strong local journalism and can be easier to read than the website, but its reliability is repeatedly criticized. Core issues include ongoing login problems, frequent crashes and instability, problematic subscription management with renewals and limited support, offline reading and download failures, and forced notification prompts. Overall, content quality is solid, but app reliability and account handling are the biggest recurring downsides.

Pros

Access to high-quality local journalism from the Tampa Bay Times.
The app provides a reading experience that is preferable to the website (fewer ads, easier on mobile).
After updates, the app has operated stably for extended periods (works well for many months).

Cons

Frequent login/logout issues: users must sign in repeatedly to read content and stay signed in.
Crashes and instability: the app crashes regularly, freezes, and articles fail to load or display images.
Difficulties canceling subscriptions and unexpected renewals: hard to cancel, renewals charged without notice, and customer support is often unhelpful.
Offline reading/download issues: offline downloads don’t reliably work and editions can disappear or fail to stay available.
Forced notification prompts: app requires enabling notifications to use it, with persistent prompts blocking simple use.

How bloody freaking hard it is to create an app that doesn’t require you to log in every time you open it? And don’t say I don’t know how to use technology because I do not have this problem with other apps. Fix your product.

Articles frequently don’t open, links don’t work right and constantly require logging in, etc. - I’ve contacted them but they don’t seem interested in making a high quality app
