Thank goodness the crossword puzzles are back. Best thing that has happened in 2020 Thank you TU
I liked reading the e-version that is the replica of the newspaper. The app simply stopped working and, in addition, the website no longer allows a sign in. Essentially my subscription is worthless.
I am very disappointed in this app. Limited articles and many of them are days old.
I can't believe there isn't a way to search for articles! Very disappointing.
I still get warnings that I’m out of free articles.
My app stopped working. Won’t link to my print edition. Representatives of the Times Union told me over a week ago that it is internal on their end. Terrible. I am disappointed. I get paper delivery at two locations
Every time I try to login it tells me I have to link my subscription. I go through all the steps and link the subscription yet it still tells me I have no stories left. I close the app try again and it tells me I have to link the subscription again even though it shows me is having already linked the subscription. Really just a garbage app.
It annoys me so much that I still have to go to the TU site or other news sites to get the weather and school closings. Why isn’t there a tab for this on the app? That’s a really silly oversight. I have a subscription to TU and really wish I could use it for this too!
When I first saw the new app I liked the look of it. However I have discovered many shortcomings. These include loss of the crossword puzzle, lack of a search function, lack of detail in the obituaries and fewer news stories. I still like the look but there does not seem to be any interest by the TU in fixing the many deficiencies.
What happened! This was supposed to be an upgrade. Unusable. The news is jumbled and hard to navigate. And once I have read five articles, I get locked out. Need to call to be reset. Bring back the old App, please.
