User Reviews

Readers praise Times Union for strong local coverage and long-standing community value, and some appreciate easy digital access and early editions. However, the app is plagued by repeated login/subscription access issues, intrusive ads, inconsistent delivery, clunky navigation, and poor search/findability of recent stories. These recurring problems overshadow the positives and reflect a need for more reliable access, better UX, and cleaner content delivery.

Pros

Positive sentiment toward digital access and the early edition feature.
Longstanding readership and appreciation for the paper's value in the community.
Noted for solid investigative reporting and thorough storytelling.

Cons

Frequent login/authentication and subscription access problems preventing reading articles.
Ads are intrusive and excessive, with pop-ups and banners disrupting the reading experience.
Delivery issues with both the physical paper and digital delivery reliability.
Poor navigation and user experience in the app, making it hard to reach the print edition or navigate sections.
Content access/search problems, including difficulty finding recent stories and results that return old articles.

The paper is great; the app is horrible.

Because it contains only the news stories of the day. Don’t like that I can’t easily share an e-edition article with my fellow subscribers. Would like an easier way to do that.

No matter how many times I change my password every single time I try to log in to read an article it say’s wrong password. It’s ridiculous. Will not renew my subscription.
