Frequent mandatory updates required to use the app

Every time I open the app it makes me update in order to access any articles. How many times does a single app need to be force update?? Totally unnecessary

Easy to use and very informative

Not a great app especially on an iPad. Do you test it on an iPad??

This app won’t load when an update is available until it’s updated. It’s bad enough when I have to wait for the update to finish to access the paper. Today the update won’t finish downloading so I can’t access the app at all. I should be able to opt out of updates to use the app.

Why can I never find any international news articles in my electronic version of the Chicago Tribune? There's very little international news in the print version, but in the electronic version, it seems to be totally missing. Why? Can the electronic version be expanded to include international news? Is there some reason why readers should not be interested in international news? The lack of international news coverage is a great disappointment to me, and an even greater puzzle to me.

Hate the fact that an update has to be installed for opening the app - making it impossible to read / look up anything when you’re roaming/on a paid by the megabytes network - and no WiFi.

The Tribune app is long overdue for dark mode. Many people read in bed at night or while soothing a baby in the wee hours, and dark mode in those cases is a necessity. The white background, even on the dimmest setting, is still super bright. Search also needs to be entirely rebuilt. Why when I click on search does the keyboard not even open immediately? There’s also zero filters or sorting options. Why can’t I specify a category, or date range? Generally the app isn’t bad now that they’ve fixed the full screen video ads that prevented you from actually reading any articles.

If you are a paid subscriber, the latest update makes reading the e-edition significantly easier - it’s finally as simple as it should have been for years.

I can’t tell you how many times I have been denied access to links to articles because the website or app doesn’t recognize me. It is soooo frustrating and not easy to figure out how to get the site to allow me access! I subscribe to 3 other online news and none are such a pain.
