1. 4/5Latest update not great

   I wish I could say the latest update was an improvement, but sadly not. Not only was I not aware of it coming, but it did not auto update. The old version just stopped getting the latest editions and when going to the Apple apps store, the old version came up as #1, so I didn’t even notice the new version with the new thumbnail/logo. Where the old version allowed me to click anywhere on an article to bring it up, the new version only reacts to the article title (which I stumbled into discovering). Lastly, I used to be able to print out the individual puzzles/games I wanted. Now I have to enlarge a portion of the comics/games page and print that enlargement. Overall this “upgrade” gets a “D” grade. You folks didn’t need to make this change and when making future changes, I hope you do a better job of getting reader usability testing before proceeding.

2. 1/5Don’t upgrade if you’re on an iPad!

   The new version functions poorly on iPad. Navigation is clunky, largely because the banner ad at the bottom of the page keeps blocking the navigation bar. The old app allowed reading the e-edition the same way one reads a print newspaper, the new version insists on trying to force the reader into scrolling through the news stories, and the comics, one by one instead of picking and choosing what to read as one would do in a print version. And on some pages the scroll misses portions of the page, like the listings of corrections to articles. The navigation bar should be permanently affixed to the bottom of the screen, replacing the banner ad that continually blocks it, and one should be able to click an article on the overall view of a Trib page, read the article, then immediately jump back to the overall view. This version of the app will SOMETIMES allow that process, but because the app has such slow response, and because the banner ads seem to take control of the page, most of the time the top and bottom navigation bars do not pop up. Very frustrating!! If the clunky navigation and obstructive banner ads don’t get fixed, I won’t be renewing my subscription.

3. 5/5Digital Version of Trubune

   I have to say I was skeptical of going to the digital version of the Salt Lake Tribune but now that we’ve had to do it, I find I like the convenience of being able to read it any time and anywhere with ease. I actually read more of the content than I did as the paper version. I especially enjoy being able to touch on the article and being able to read the entire piece without having to turn to another page. Overall it’s a very positive change and saves the environment of excess paper and plastic. Same great content and more convenient! Who could ask for more! Update to the above review. I still really like the e edition but the recent update made it so we can no longer click on a comic to read easier or print just a game. That should change back to the way it was before.

4. 5/5Not compatible with our other iPad

   How frequently are we required to buy a new iPad to keep the newspaper? We can’t read any editions after July 26th of the tribune on the older iPad. It’s now August 9th. We can’t update to the new app because it says the iPad is too old. How difficult would it be to continue to allow people to use the older app? I can’t imagine it would need to be typed in manually. Does it need a lot of technical support? Would the advertisers mind if you at least allowed the older app to have recent editions, even if they were without the fancy pop up ads of the new app? What percentage of customers would go back to the older app? I like the new app on our more recent iPad, but I don’t like being forced to buy more iPads.

5. 3/5it's fine

   The app is functional but there are some stylistic choices that I think hinder the app. There are 2 overlapping changes I would suggest- The design of the scrolling "live news" view is such that all the article titles get cut off part way through. This is pretty annoying because you can't see any full headlines. So if I'm skimming through it's difficult to find particular articles. The second change is the fonts in the app are incongruous with all the articles in the e-edition and the website versions of articles. Across all other versions the Tribune uses a font like Times New Roman, except in the app where it is a weird sans-serif font. It seems unusual to not keep that the same, and I actually think it contributes to the article titles not fitting properly because the formatting is different for t try his other font. Anyway- those are nitpicks. overall the app is fine, it just has a couple of inconveniences.

   Is this app even being maintained anymore? It wasn't updating stories since January. So, I un-installed and then re-installed. Now, it won't even launch.

3. 1/5

   I know I've already given this app 1 star but I wanted to highlight how awful it is to have a share button that doesn't even share the article but a picture and an ad. What a waste of time.

   Very good newspapers

5. 3/5

   I love the reporting and journalism, but the app could use some serious work. For example, if you're going to put lots of text in an image we should at least be able to zoom the image to read the text, but that isn't possible in the app. It also sometimes asks for me to log in when I'm already logged in.
