Reviewed on 9/28/18 4:30 PMThe Times is so biased it’s stories lack all credibility. The selection of topics to report is ridiculously slanted. Then the coverage of stories selected has no balance. Most news columns are thinly veiled opinion pieces. If you are looking for news, paying for the Times is a waste of money. Just go to any Democratic website and you can read a the same information without the dishonest presentation of the information as news.

Seazap's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 9/23/18 5:55 PMWorst news app ever. I have the paid version and it shows old news constantly. The same stories stay on the app for days, and they stay at the top when you open it. Even after I’ve clicked and read the story it stays at the top of the app for days. The app is also loaded with huge ads. It’s impossible to scroll over them without opening them. There also doesn’t seem to be an easy way to search. And the tabs that sort the news show the same stories over and over. Select local and see a story. Select California and you will see the same top story. Select nation and you guessed it, same story. This app is terrible and makes me miss reading the old paper version. There are much better news apps such as the New York Times.

Reviewed on 9/21/18 1:18 AMGrowing up in Pomona, the Los Angeles Times was on our breakfast table every morning. The paper reflected a ‘centrist’ political viewpoint.

Reviewed on 8/28/19 1:32 PMWe spent over 20 years and enjoyed the Times every day. When we moved I subscribed to the digital. Still enjoy the Times and it is a good paper, especially by today’s standards. My pet peeve is the pop up ads and ads in general-the paper is slow to load. Why not an ad free version for a few dollars more? Also, the key to providing value is to maintain a roster of great local columnists. If the Times goes that way I am gone.

Cowanbunga's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 7/30/18 12:54 PMThe LA Times has dumbed down its app to the point where it is an insult to its readership. Do you want to scan through the headlines for an article? Good luck with that. This app is all about giant color pictures, which you have to scroll down down down down to find an article you may be interested in reading. If you go to the topics page, it is somewhat possible to flip through the paper and see what might be of interest. However when you get to an article, it is scrunched into a ridiculously skinny right hand column, and there is no way to get a full-screen view. My only conclusion is that the tTmes considers its readers to be morons who prefer to look at gigantic color photographs Instead of headlines, news and analysis. Thank God I also subscribe to the New York Times and Washington Post, who have set up their apps to serve the needs of people who actually read the newspapers. I can only hope that this is a sad, pathetic relic of the TRONC mismanagement of this once excellent newspaper, and that the new publisher will swiftly relegate this awful embarrassment of an app to the garbage heap where it belongs.

Mattey's mom's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 6/20/18 3:46 PMI was born, raised, educated and earned my living in LA until moving to La Quinta, CA beyond Palm Springs in late 2015. One of the things I missed most was keeping abreast of the local LA news, as well as receiving high quality journalism about national snd world events. Reading the LA Times, both in it's digital and printed editions, has met that need and even serves as a security blanket of sorts. I have high hopes that under new leadership the LA Times will be restored to its World-class ranking and eliminated or shaved sections with their fine contributors reinstated.

Reviewed on 5/9/18 5:44 AMUpdate: So I tried the app again after 2 years, but thanks to the ever-present ads and one of the worst and most arrogant privacy polices I’ve ever read, I’m really done. Update: Now - or maybe for awhile; I rarely use it anymore - the app launches your browser whether you tap an ad or not, and I most definitely did not. Great way to draw in subscribers. Not! I'm done with LAT. Not cool. I detest advertising and would pay a fee rather than use an ad-supported free version. So this was an unwelcome surprise. I'd even pay a reasonable subscription rate rather than have to look at ads. Bad move, LAT.

Anonmom's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 5/6/18 11:52 PMWhat an improvement!! Still a work in progress, still buggy, but potentially on its way to being the app a major metropolitan city deserves and needs from its newspaper. —I have an Unlimited Digital Access yet often the app tries to sell me unlimited digital access and denies access to articles. TOTAL FAIL. —No option to custom order sections, an egregious oversight —When scrolling through a section articles are repeated, over and over, hey LATimes if you're out of content let the user reach the end of the page instead of shoving the same article on us repeatedly as though we’re idiots and wouldn't notice. —Navigation is clumsy. —Not all articles had pub dates which is totally unacceptable. —Photos are tough to access with buggy slide shows often freezing and making the app quit, don't even bother trying to access video. Emulating NY Times app could go a long way to improving the LA Times app. Looking forward to updates! Original review: It's staggering that paid subscribers are subjected to this miserable excuse for an app. Clearly the LATimes owner hates Los Angeles, hates Journalism, hates writers and hates even their own paid subscribers. It's tragic to see what was once a great newspaper degenerate into this app.

Real news believer's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 5/21/18 2:22 PMI used to use the app constantly, even with its flaws, but as soon as they started the new format I find I don’t use it anymore and I just download the newspaper version. With big pictures it is harder to navigate to find what the important stories are. I like headlines so that can see at a glance the important news and stories and and pick from among them. The sections are on a small band at the top awkwardly listed horizontally, I don’t know if I can change the order to suit my usual preferences. The news app on my phone taking articles from multiple sources is similar in its use of pics, but much easier to use listing the four or five latest or most popular articles, but the proof is in my usage. When the change first occurred my brother railed about the new format, but I’d been such a long time user that I thought he was overreacting, but months later I just don’t use it. Send us a note if you change it. If there is a fee for it I will drop it.

ucla84's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 5/1/18 3:31 AMActually, it's several steps back. (Not that the old version was any great prize.) The articles have some pretty pictures. Too bad significant portions of the the print edition are always missing and more don't download to the app for offline reading. Also, some of those pretty pictures show up in the app for weeks at a time because the Times can't be bothered to organize ALL the latest content in a way you can see it conveniently. (Instead, for example, a pretty picture of Kawhi Leonard continues its multiweek run in the sports section, while the same Dodgers story may run three or four times.) Finally, tronc, could you please stop trying to ram your 100 Best Restaurants feature down our throats? We really don't need it popping up over and over and over and over in the app. Perhaps y'all should think about how people use your app rather than engaging in a self-congratulatory exercise in pretty pictures and favored features.
PegasusAloft's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 4/29/18 1:24 AMSilly title, isn’t it? I figured people might read this: As a reader of news on devices for only a year and as a homesick native, I appreciate the ready availability of access to the Los Angeles Times. Who else but someone like me, living out of state and missing my home town paper, would turn to a wonderful app like this? And not just for breaking news in politics national and local but also traffic alerts! I hadn’t known there were Metro Line tracks along the 210. I felt something akin to being there, although there may have been the automatic sympathy (Oh no!) one feels as a heretofore daily commuter in the Greater Los Angeles Area. I remember when the 210 had been proposed and approved, and was controversial due to expected segregation between “whites and blacks” in Pasadena. I read all about it in the LA Times. No one anticipated black flight, much less light rail connection. I read about those in the LA Times, too, all of controversial. I guess this is all to to say that I Heart the LA Times and its app!

Ed-Word's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 4/17/18 8:25 PMI read on-lines news looking for balanced content. It seems more and more even a typical non-political news story has some politics that seep in between the lines. The Times may have been left-leaning in the past but writer Skelton took care of that, and that’s OK. I’m proud to say, especially in today’s U.S., that I am a life-long Democrat. But you can’t see the real world looking for fodder that only leans in your direction. There are always at least two sides to every story. I believe the L.A. Times does a great job of trying to present balance in today’s news. With so much embarrassing outbursts and shenanigans coming out of the White House, you would think it would be a simple job to report the news with a democratic spin. But The Times seems to always attempt to ride the middle road in its reporting - Opinion section not counting! As a very young boy I delivered The Times off the back of my brother’s Chevy pickup to news racks (remember those?) and corner markets from downtown to East L.A. I am so thankful the “Paper” is still with us today. “All The News That’s Fit To Print”

Thought I could go off paper to virtual with this app, but it has failed me on multiple levels. First off, there should be a way to search by date and reporters name for complete ease. If I go to find a story that might be a day old, and input the hard copy headline to share it online, more often than not, it will say no results, try the subhead, no results, try the writers name, no results. Very frustrated by this inability to find the story I want to share. Another pet peeve, I find stories I've read online in the print edition, show up days later in print making me shake my head wondering where I've read this before. I like the e-newspaper version, but it also is not without its glitches and the constant reloading of the page...probably a Cox Cable issue...but don't get me started on Cox.

Montana100's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 3/18/18 4:40 PMI’ve been a subscriber of both the latimes and nytimes and while I use the nytimes app daily I’ve never downloaded the latimes app until today. From a visual perspective the design looks very “1990’s”. Good design is not expensive especially considering the resources of our local newspaper. It’s about having vision and valuing good innovative design. Content wise I appreciate the writing and editorial perspectives.
Dri Fly's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 3/16/18 11:08 PMI’ve been a subscriber to the LA Times for over 25 years. Sadly, the printed paper has slowly been declining in quality for the past 10 years - understandably given the difficulties the news business is facing. But the internet version of the paper is even worse - it is difficult to navigate, poorly organized and covered with advertisements. Hopefully, under new management things will improve - things can hardly get worse.

ZebraWhySoHard's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 12/31/18 12:54 PMWe’ve long appreciated the LA Times as one of our nation’s very finest. (One of the very best things about Los Angeles, about which we should all be proud!) We look forward every morning to the electronic daily edition, a wonderful convenience. We also still appreciate the tactile pleasure and the different but equal convenience of the paper edition, which we get each Thursday through Sunday. And we also look forward - immensely - to each issue of several electronic newsletter series that we’ve selected in conjunction with our subscription. Yes, we are LAT junkies.

Reviewed on 12/30/17 4:38 PMI love the LA Times because of the high quality, well-vetted, and evenly reported news stories. However the app is literally a hot mess. Whenever I use the app, my phone heats up so much that it’s uncomfortable to use for more than 3 articles at a time. Also, my iPhone 7 battery drains at such an alarming rate while using the app. I can’t casually read on the go without worrying about power consumption and battery levels.

As of today, December 15, 2017, there are now long delays with the spinning gear while waiting for a selected article to open. Very frustrating and time/battery wasting. Often not responsive and too many ads even with paid monthly subscription. It also keeps forgetting I'm a subscriber and makes me re-enter my credentials. Videos connected with articles almost never play (although the associated ad videos seem to work just fine, which of course is just wonderful).

Despite numerous email communications with LA Times customer service as well as Apple support, They both were in capable of providing the service for which they advertised at $5.99 a month. Bottom line, I was refunded four months of service via Apple and was told to resubscribe at the amount of $7.99 per month. While I appreciate the refund, the bait and switch tactics that they employed will prevent me from subscribing again.

iPersuade's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 11/22/18 12:33 PMThe 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.

Also you get countless emails from LA Times asking you to subscribe to the paper no matter how many times you respond “unsubscribe” (because you are already subscribed through Apple). My suggestion is you subscribe through LA Times’ web site first then download the app.

Casa HB's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 10/26/18 8:41 PMI was born and raised in Los Angeles. The politics and news reporting has changed to a point that since the LA Examiner closed I believe in the mid seventies, the Times is the primary source of news and has become a point guard for the left in LA. With the exception of Steve Lopez, there is little objectivity in the papers daily reporting of news world, national and local. I’m a moderate republican, not a big DT fan ( although much better than that lying Hillary ) but I see very little that’s fair particularly, your editorials. Occasionally you have a guest writer that’s more balanced, but not often . It’s all about selling papers and making money. Your paper feeds to the liberal populous in LA and Calif, so it’s not a surprise. I subscribe to you’re digital paper because I still enjoy your sports page and what’s happening in the California Section. I’m not a supporter of John Cox, but your endorsement of Newsom and his EXTREMISM shows your true colors
ANTHONY_87's Review of La Times
Reviewed on 10/26/17 4:44 PMIn the free LA Times version, when you click on an article, it should ask you if you want to proceed indicating the amount of articles you have left to read that month.

I kept seeing the number in the bottom increase but I simply thought it was an ad. I am very disappointed with this so called called app for local news.
