User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: readers praise the app for readable Chicago news with in-depth stories and strong, up-to-date sports coverage, plus a print-edition style layout and improvements over older versions. However, repeated issues dominate the feedback: persistent login problems and login loops, stability bugs that cause crashes, e-paper functionality tied to browsers or broken, a scrolling glitch on the main page, and sharing link issues. Users also want accessibility options like dark mode and better ad handling. A more polished, reliable experience is needed to fully satisfy users.
Pros
  • In-depth stories with strong, up-to-date sports coverage.
  • Readable interface with pinch-to-zoom font resizing.
  • Print-edition style layout and editorial feel improve reading experience.
  • Improvements over the previous version, with better navigation and usability.
Cons
  • Repeated login problems and login loops prevent access to the newspaper content.
  • Frequent crashes or the app not staying open.
  • E-paper functionality sometimes requires a browser or is otherwise non-functional.
  • Main page scrolling bug where scrolling up jumps back down.
  • Sharing links is broken (images or text instead of a link).
Recent reviews
The stories are in depth and beautifully written. The sports section is one of the best in the country. It is up-to-date and even has West Coast scores before the West Coast papers published them. Fantastic app.

When I try to access stories highlighted in the app’s push notifications, I am never able to get to the specific stories, and this is unacceptable!
