Pros and cons of Seattle Times Mobile app for iPhone and iPad

Seattle Times Mobile app good for

Living in the south makes me a wee bit nostalgic for Seattle & Mt Rainier. I love this site & App. I would love to read few more feel good stories from the south sound. The diverse politics of Seattles Mayor & the Governor make me chuckle. King Co never gets it right. LOL
I love the Seattle Times App. While I (sadly) toil my life away in the wrong Washington (DC), the Times is the first App I open every morning. I love to read the latest in depth reporting on my Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, Huskies, Unlimited Hydros, as well as local news (Dig Bertha dig!). Home is where the Seattle Times App takes me...
Its a good app. Once in awhile it makes me sign in. But thats mostly on the website. If that could be fixed I would be so, so happy.
Much better than the app from the past. Nice they have modified it to allow landscape view in iPad. Id like it to have a search bar. The photo captions should be brought to the front so they are readily visible.
Easy navigation and a well built app. News Articles support Seattles left leaning audience.
New app is fantastic! Extremely fast. News is accurate, relevant and timely. Sports coverage and local news is always on point!

Some bad moments

Use to use this everyday. Now it does not update each day. Too bad, really enjoyed it.
Dont bother downloading this app. Never loads, just get the spinning icon forever.
ST used to be my fav news app. It was quick, simple and gave access to all articles. Now it turned into a window basically...the app only posts the title and the link of the article...then ure redirected to thei mobile site. SO F****NG STUPID. If I wanna read their website I just go there directly. Why would I go through the app? Oooh yeah its all about $$ Not only u cant read the articles in the app anymore but also after about 5 articles read through the links U STRIKE OUT of ure free limit. Basically what NY Times did a few yrs ago... Couldnt they just place a few ads in the app and make money like that? DELETED
Recent update with the ads are annoying AF. they take out the entire screen.
Love the news and newer format but it has started crashing once or twice or more a day. And it would be nice if the stories didnt move up and down and around in the list. Most aggravating is when new stories load and I have to start over at the top.
The performance upgrade is nice, but why cant I choose to read only for a specific sports teams, i.e. Mariners? Please upgrade to an actual user friendly app, that one wants to use.
