2. 1/5Can’t Login

   Stuck on “Need more information to continue” but then I can’t click continue.. I waited this out a few weeks in hopes it would get resolved but Still the same issue!! When trying to log in I continue to get this pop up message that I cannot get past.. I have tried using safari, chrome, mobile, desktop, mobile app - and the same thing happens. I tried logging in using apple, google, facebook... the same thing happens! It says "Almost There. Need a little more information from you" but nothing happens when I click continue (I tried this after opening the “terms and conditions” and “privacy policy” as well with same result). If I click the "x" to close it, it just keeps me logged out. I have an account, it recognizes I have one. I tried resetting my password, clearing cache, cookies and history on each browser. I know I am putting in right password because when I type in a random one it says “please enter a valid password”- so its prompting this with the valid email and password. I even purchased a subscription (even though I also get it on apple news plus) and I got the notification email for the subscription too.. I called the customer service and they said they put in a ticket.. this is ridiculous. Only happening with LA Times.

3. 2/5LA Tomes

   I’ve lived in Los Angeles for over twenty years and subscribed in good faith as a resident - citizen - refugee of this great city only to find that 1) the la times is obnoxiously out of touch with its “readership” aka dummies like me who pay subscription rates for no real insight that can’t be gotten from other news sources, gives me certainly no voice. The times editorially and now thru the email marketing and app that automatically subscribes at way more than what you thought-I expected 9.99 but still cancelled due to bull#%* content and corporate point of view. Only to find out app sign up can’t be canceled (via same as sign up or email), but after catching that I’ve been charged $15 per month when I haven’t logged in, not accessed their site in any way in over a month - funny how their algorithms on their side don’t ever say a word about your engagement. Not what I want from my “local” paper- I’ll stick with New York Times, the Atlantic & The HOLLYWOOD Reporter, thanks Tribune for your corporate takeover of a paper that should have been the voice of the west.

4. 3/5This app has improved greatly, but still some issues

   The resigned app is a joy to use and read, except in one area: eNewspaper navigation. It’s terrible. Rather than the text of the article scrolling, the entire article window tries to scroll and it “bounces.” Moreover, if there is an ad, you often can’t close it even if you click on the link to visit the advertised product or service. I vastly prefer reading the news on my iPhone and iPad to the physical paper or the website. I hope the developers straighten out these little friction points. My older review: I see articles in the paper that I want to read in the app and it sometimes takes a Herculean effort to find and get to them on the app (the website is basically the same in this regard). Please make it easier to find articles by organizing the information better and making navigation and search better.

5. 2/5Outdated Articles

   As the newspaper of record for the western United States, the LA Times provides high quality reporting and analysis on major national and world news, as well as stories that the big NYC and DC news organizations overlook. This app has been improved in 2019, so those stories are now easier to find and the reading environment is more enjoyable. However, the app still has two major issues. The first is that there are still too many outdated articles—some of them are months old. I would like to see all articles from the past 24 hours in each section; certainly nothing more than two days old is appropriate for a mobile app, which I expect to be current events. I withheld another star because the app is missing a couple of keys features of its major competitors (NYT, WaPo, WSJ). One, you cannot customize the menu. This isn’t a big deal, because the menu layout is easy to navigate, but it it would be a nice feature for those of us who like to see certain sections up front. Two, the app is still missing a “Today’s Paper” section. All of the other major papers have a section in the app that lists the stories in the order they appear in the paper. This feature would be much easier and faster to navigate than an e-edition, especially on a small screen. Other than these two oversights, this is a great app and content.
