The Seattle Times Customer Insights

1. I start reading and get into the article, but then I can read it to the end! The most basic function of a news media app is to be able to read all of the words.

2. It's been that way for the few years I've been using it.The content is great but every time you click on an article it takes you to the wrong article.

3. You have to open the app, hunt for the article you just had open, and only then does a button appear.I can't scroll to the bottom of articles.

4. This has happened for almost every article I attempted to read except for a few of the shorter ones.. I'm guessing it's the ads that are causing it to crash.

5. Most recently trying to read an article and the page kept bouncing from it seems ad generation and presentation.

6. Unfortunately I can't use the application without the inconvenience of costant crashing, then I need to find my place again just to continue reading the article.

7. Update: now it crashes every 15 secondsThe app interface is pleasant and easy to use, but it crashes and resets me to the home screen as I read through articles.

8. Sometimes, when I pause during an article, even for a few minutes, when I come back to keep reading, the article is gone.

9. Honestly - you'd be better off going through your neighbor's recycle bin to read a stained ,weeks old copy of the physical paper then use this app.Links consistently take me to the wrong stories.

10. I burned through almost 4GB in 3 weeks just reading text and viewing a few images! I suspect the real data hog is the video advertisements that auto-start in the background.

11. It should allow me to configure which notifications are of interest to me.Good app for reading the Seattle Times, but I have two complaints and dinged one star for each.
