The News Tribune News Reviews

by ChrisGH

TNT app v6.0.6 is incompatible with iOS v8.1.2 on iPhone 6 Plus - after upgrading this morning it immediately quits when I try to open it.
The upgrade comments say it's compatible with iOS 8+, it is not. Apparently "compatible with iOS 8+" really means iOS 9 or iOS 8.5.
Shoddy beta testing & documentation - how hard is that to do responsibly. Functioned at 3-4 stars in past, now a zero.

I cannot sign onto the account. This is happened over and over and over again for the last few years. I try reloading TheNewsTribuneNews from TheNewsTribuneNews Store and sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. At best it’s a local newspaper and that’s the reason why I want to access it. Most of the news and sports is at least one day old and sometimes two days old. I am sitting here once again trying to sign on my iPad. It’s an impossible interface to work with.

I normally would not rate an app based on the companies customer service…But in this case, the two are so intertwined that it’s difficult not to.
The McClatchy Company owns the Tacoma News Tribune and many other newspapers. Their customer service is outsourced. And pretty useless. So…If you need help with your subscription, good luck! They are very eager to up sell services but fail at fixing existing issues.
It really is sad because I’m trying to help a local paper but their mega owner doesn’t seem to care.

TheNewsTribuneNews won't update to the new date upon opening and the navigation is sketchy, at best. I click on an article under an embedded 30 second video and nothing happens. Where is the article? TheNewsTribuneNews looks nothing like a newspaper and apparently TNT doesn't allow us to download the other app by Olive Software that emulates the paper, worked perfectly, downloaded each day upon opening and didn't have the annoying and distracting ads, sales videos and banners. Terrible app and news service!

I’ve had TheNewsTribuneNews for years and check daily for any new articles. I’ve been extremely busy the last couple of weeks and haven’t been able to go on and read up. I read a couple articles last night before bed, and just went on here to catch up some more and it says I’ve used all of my free articles for the month?? Since when did I have to pay? And for reading more that 3 articles a month?? No wonder TNT is out of here now. Management failure at its best...

We used to be able to receive in format of newspaper, which we both prefer. The e-edition was also available and now we can’t find it. Like format as newspaper plus being able to highlight specific articles and then increase font size on article and print a few out, like recipes. None of this works for us now. The Seattle Times app works great. This one is awful in comparison.

TheNewsTribuneNews works ok but I sure wish they would just report the news instead of subjecting us to their far left, pro Dimslee, pro Ferguson, and anti gun/second amendment nonsense constantly. It’s very tiring. I also am about to pull the plug on this liberal mouthpiece for a the worst governor this state has ever seen. The TNT’s filtering of what we read is very close to being “fake news” in my opinion. This is why they are about to go under.

Before this ‘new’ app, the TNT was published digitally via an Olive Software app. It worked almost flawlessly for years. Now, I cannot get the downloaded digital version to stay put as a web page. It regularly crashes and forces me to reload. Maybe with McClatchy losing ownership of the TNT and other papers someone will listen and provide a more stable reading app that is more indicative of 21st Century technology.

I stopped using TheNewsTribuneNews after I can’t figure out how to download the paper for offline use to read on the airplane. I will cancel my subscription and only read the Seattle Times. Why on earth would you think it’s better to have to open up the browser to read the paper; why wouldn’t I just use a search engine. Sad.

This latest update is so bad it won’t let me even sign in on my iPad. I saved the correct name and password but I still cannot open TheNewsTribuneNews . I also have the printed paper delivered thank goodness but even when I put my address in I cannot get the eEdition. Now there is no Saturday paper I have to rely on the electronic version. Are you trying to get rid of customers? I guess I will have to call to get my app. working again. I am old and I kid you not my time is getting shorter and I don’t want to waste it trying to get the newspaper. You charge enough for a few sheets of paper.

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t find a way to search on TheNewsTribuneNews . I’ll see an article on social media that I want to read and can’t because of the paywall. So I go to TheNewsTribuneNews and can’t find the story. Frustrating.

After they revamped the entire app it’s been nothing but problematic. The videos rarely play on my iPad and TheNewsTribuneNews itself randomly and frequently shuts down. The only way to get it to work somewhat properly is to reset my iPad. Before the upgrade there were few if any problems. The only thing that seems to actually work is reading the published paper edition.

You are most often reporting news a day late. I see no reason for this since you are providing an online paper.

Since you are on facebook, why not allow the community to discuss the articles that you display?

by Lontime Subscriber

This version will not stay down loaded for reading later when WiFi May not be available. Also far too many steps to download for comfortable reading on an iPad. Extremely frustrating!

by Wulffla

Very limited app. Cannot manage your subscription from it and it only shows bits and pieces of the actual paper. Worthless.

by Sethlong

Push notifications from TheNewsTribuneNews seem to only open TheNewsTribuneNews and don’t open the story from the notification.

by Venitagh

I do not like TheNewsTribuneNews at all, jumps all over and makes it difficult to read the whole story. It is also hard to make the font larger and get the whole article you are trying to read.

by Rigpasword

The ads aren't too bad and he coverage is pretty decent. Can't ask for much more from a local news app.

I get the news from TNT before the actual news channels release the news

by Preps Fan

I particularly love TNT's high school sports coverage. Best of any newspaper on the state with their all-state teams and All-Area teams. Awesome feature stories and profiles on local athletes and they do highlight videos from games. I'm always looking for their Northwest Nuggets recruiting package, Western 100 and the Untouchables wrestling team.

TheNewsTribuneNews does not give you the ability to read very many articles before the members of fish. I could get my news elsewhere, without getting a subscription. Some of the sources are use actually get their news from News Tribune. So it will be worth it getting a subscription, if it works with family sharing. Don’t buy TheNewsTribuneNews.

With this new app, I don’t really enjoy reading TNT thru our web browser on my iPad. It is MUCH slower loading pages with articles and text coming into complete focus. I much prefer not seeing my browser’s masthead, URL info, navigation symbols, page bookmarks, and additional open tabs within the browser, all taking up valuable space within a small format. So much prefer the simpler, more direct access from your old TNT eEDITION app. Why would TNT go away from a much more superior access for your eEdition’s readers? It was cleaner, simpler, faster, and certainly more direct!
