1. 5/5Review

   I live in Northeast Louisiana and reading the Baton Rouge Advocate by App is an absolute joy for me. Baton Rouge is the capital city of Louisiana and the current news that this App provides is so beneficial because I love to read current, up to date information regarding the state of Louisiana. The App is very easy to navigate and find information regarding different topics and the daily print version is just as beneficial as the digital content App. This App is just overall a great format to read and I thoroughly enjoying using it each day..

2. 5/5Scott Howard

   I like the way The Advocate is placing more front- and second-page emphasis on significant news — local, national, and international — and relegating sports articles to their proper place. Also, I think the editors are doing a good job of curating ALL the news of the day. I read two additional papers every day and find that The Advocate for the most part identifies all the important news. Finally, the investigative reporting for local policy and governance matters is improving.; we need it!

3. 3/5Version 4.0 is a Step Back

   This version has disabled some capabilities of the previous version. I am a print edition subscriber. One of the reasons I subscribe is the daily puzzles in the print edition. These are far different than the puzzles in the gaming section of the App. In the previous version of the App, I was able to isolate the individual games and print them to work should the paper come late or there was inclement weather or the print edition failed to appear. This ability has disappeared in this latest version. Interesting that I can isolate individual stories but not the games and puzzles. For me this new and improved version is a step backward.

4. 5/5Love the Advocate online

   Anyone who wants to be informed about La state politics must read the Advocate. I really like seeing the layout - reads and looks just like the print Ed. (or you can read a version that is more like manuscript style). Easy to switch back and forth. I like being able to print, or post a story from the paper onto social media. I absolutely love the creation of the investigative journalism project. Thank you Advocate. I have been a regular reader for 45 yrs.

5. 1/5Horrible Update

   The new update and formatting for the app that was issued the first week of February 2025 was a major step back for The Advocate. The user interface changed and is not nearly as user friendly as the old interface. There is a plethora of new ads that pop up in the middle of articles. Most importantly it seems to only give you five article reads before it tries to make you subscribe and pay for the app. The old app and interface did have pay to read articles, however, these were not for every article and you were still allowed to read most of the content on the app. This is outrageous for someone like myself who uses this app in conjunction with other local news applications to get more insight into the happenings in my area. I don’t expect to continue using the app unless, at the bare minimum, the subscription requirement is changed.
