Albany Times Union News for Positive User Reviews
✓ Terrible new appAlways looked forward to reading app like the paper looked. You should make a section where you can download any edition to read. Take a lesson from the business reviews app. Took a vacation with no electronic devices and returned today looking to read the last 12 editions and I am not able or can’t figure out how to do it. If I could give it lower than a 1 star I would. Don’t change what has worked for years for people. Bring back the old app so you can call yourself a newspaper and us subscribers can read it and get the feel of a newspaper..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Easy to use and convenient!TIMES UNION for iPad is a well-designed app that is intuitive, stable, and accessible from anywhere. I love having my hometown news even when traveling. The pictures of local events load quickly and it is easy to send stories via email to out-of-town friends and family. Love this app - well worth the price of a full subscription..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Keeping a watch on NY PoliticiansOne of the few papers that keep watch and report on the Government here and helps keep them on thier toes..Version: 202101.12
✓ Finally, a search bar!A much more functional app that is superior to the mobile site..Version: 202012.22
✓ Handy appI read the TU on my iPad very morning almost. I like having this app when I am traveling so I can keep up. There is the New York Times, but does it have comics? No! Does it have local news, events, notices, etc.? No! I also like that I can email an article, that I can copy and print. I like the ability to read page by page like the hard copy version and see the pictures and layout and even ads, or switch to a list with tiny content to go through quickly and be more picky. The one thing it doesn't yet have is the scads of ads that come out on Saturday/Sunday versions of the printed paper. It does now carry Parade which is a recent addition. Could the scads of ads be far behind? Downloading of a page on rare occasions seems to freeze but usually available on returning to that page. Getting back to the comics, even though one can zoom in, the zoom is limited. Would like to see further zooming ability. Hard to read the comics to the kids when one has to squint to see the words..Version: 1.4.3
✓ OK when it worksUseful when it downloads correctly. Unfortunately download problems happen 2-3 times a month - a pain for those of us that don't have a lot of time. When it works, this is a good app for those that want to quickly scan the news and then get more in-depth information elsewhere..Version: 1.5.7
✓ Good StartGood start for the Times Union on the iPad. Glad to have a chance to try out for 30 days for free. There is some room for improvement, though. Pros: $60 for a 1-year subscription is fairly reasonable, in my opinion. Can select daily editions of the newspaper as well as a "live" edition. Navigation within the app is generally intuitive, using swipes to advance to next page in section, to next section, to next page in article, and to next article. The "carousel" menu to select sections is a nice touch. Blog articles contain links to outside web pages using an in-app browser. Sections have an indicator for the number of pages. App works in both portrait and landscape modes. Cons: The app has a rather busy interface, with both top and bottom bars, a bottom banner, and a sidebar. (See the NYT app for a great design.) Each new page within an article needs to load, resulting in a delay as you page through an article. There's no indicator within an article for the number of pages. Seems to be no way to comment in blogs..Version: 1.2.4
✓ HappyGreat reading Love restaurant reviews Need more horse racing info.Version: 202101.57
✓ Good, but keeps getting worseI like the app, and prefer it to the print version, even if they use the same photo for every blogger who reviews concerts. The problem is that every time they update the app, my iPad 2 seems to run the app slower, and some days the updated edition doesn't load until I quit the app, remove it from memory, and start again. Maybe it's being optimized for newer iPads, but it sure isn't helping me..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Great down to earth reportingThe tone and attitude is down to earth and informative..Version: 202212.8
✓ Great paperEnjoy reading.Version: 202101.12
✓ Is a great appI.Version: 202202.3
✓ Kevin CallahanI really enjoy this app. While my wife enjoys reading the print copy of the Times Union, I have not picked up a paper copy in a long time. This app works great with my I-pad. It is ergonomic and intuitive. It provides an excellent overview of all the stories via the handy content sidebar, and allows easy jumping between stories. I especially enjoy the ability to see the whole batch of pictures that go with each story. In my opinion this is the future of newsprint media! Great Job!.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Wrong dayTrying to read the Saturday paper and guess what it’s Friday paper what the heck !,,.Version: 202104.1
✓ Overall good but...Overall this is a very good app but I would like to see pics updated more frequently and older articles deleted. It's not unusual to see pics on the same pages for over a week. And older articles stay up for days even when there is a more current update. I would like to at least see dates on the articles. These would get all 5 stars from me..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Better than paperI read the App seven days a week. The clean interface supports the informative writing. The ads are unobtrusive. My only wish is more ads and news from local small businesses..Version: 202012.22
✓ OkWhen a bug doesn’t crash the app or when you’re not bombarded with so many ads it crashes the app, it works. 🤦🏻♀️.Version: 202104.1
✓ Disappointing!I am disappointed in this update. There is no search function, no contacts link, and the real estate section is gone—I always looked forward to going through the deeds and deals each week. It is not clear which articles are from the current day’s issue..Version: 3.0.2
✓ The virtual Times UnionAs a subscriber, I cannot praise the TU website enough. I particularly like the virtual version of the print edition. Seeing the paper on my tablet exactly like the hard copy is excellent..Version: 202211.34
✓ Wow- Major Improvement Nicely DoneThe old app was awkward and unattractive. Rarely have I seen such dramatic improvement in an app. I read the paper much more often now given how easy it is to read and how attractive the new format is! So much more readable and accessible. And I like knowing more about my local community than I had the fortitude to learn from the off-putting old app..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Good app but 2 issuesLove this app but two issues must be addressed. First is that opening up app in the morning is a problem. Sometimes it won't open up at all and I don't get to read the paper. Second, having ads blocking portions of an article that I am reading and being unable to move it out of the way. Fix these two issues and I will be a very happy customer..Version: 1.5.5
✓ A great convenienceThough there was an initial problem with the app's taking up too much space (it was automatically downloading and saving all editions, and the "delete" function to which I was alerted didn't function all that well), updates have addressed all that. The visual quality and the utter convenience are in the same ballpark as the New York Times app!.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Great alternative to printI like the app, with one exception. The obituaries do not display correctly. Clicking on a name will often bring a blank page. Sometimes going to another name and then back to the original will work. Other times...nothing! And this has been a consistent problem! Swiping through on the page will sometimes be ok, but then clicking on the display to show the full write-up often will yield a blank as well..Version: 1.5.10
