Works pretty good. Just started using it and needs to get used to it

The apps functionality is OK. Logging in daily...sometimes more than once a day because it refuses to remember I have already done so is not OK.

Constantly losing login credentials. I'm not sure what your login pipeline looks like, but this app requires the user to login everytime you launch it. Is there like a 24 hour token? Maybe push it to 336 hours.

Very basic and buggy. Cleared cache and app still crashes when trying to view articles.

The worst app. I'm logged in, but any time I open a story it says I have to log in. And then provides no way to log in.

First time using and very frustrated that only the first paragraph of a page can be read but cannot scroll down to continue reading!

Update Aug 29, 2024: The latest version of the app just took a huge step backwards. Notifications take you to a login screen even if you're already logged in, then once logged in dumps you at the home screen instead of the story you were wanting to see. This morning clicking on a story headline took you to the wrong story details. Come on McClatchy staff, do better! I want to support local journalism, but this makes it hard.

Update: they completely changed the app and I hate the new as much as I hated the old. Right now it won't even open for me. Tapping on a story opens the wrong story. Some don't open at all.

This app still needs a lot of work. The navigation is wonky. For example, when swiping left, it goes to the articles section after the Sports Report rather than to the comics, classic puzzles, etc. Printing the classic puzzles results in a copy that is very blurry. There isn't actually an option to print, just to send to the printer. My guess is that the small image from the phone is getting scaled wrong. The Puzzles Plus section is useless - these don't seem to work at all from the App.
