User Reviews

The teasers say the app is free, but unless you’re going to subscribe the app is a downgrade from reading on the web - stories don’t display at all. The app makes you create an account to find this out. From other reviews this is a good app if you want to subscribe, but the app should be marked (and marketed) as “subscription required.”

I have been an SF Chronicle subscriber since the mid 1970’s. When SFGate came online it was free and I read it along with my SFComical. Now the suits want to charge me to use the SFGate app too!? NO bleeping WAY. They can explain all they want about the Comical and SFNotSoGreat have separate editorial staffs and they must charge for its content,but they’re the same publisher. Contact me when you make it free to SFChronicle subscribers. Until then I’m gone.
