Description

Been using the Tacoma News Tribune Newspaper app for a couple months now. It’s basically a way to get the latest local news and updates from the Tacoma area right on your phone. Pretty solid if you’re into keeping up with what’s happening in your community.

Here’s what you can do – you can read breaking news stories, check out the local sports coverage, and even see some cool photos from events around town. There’s also an opinion section with editorials and columns. Took me a while to figure out some of the features but it’s a pretty useful app overall.

Look, if you live in or around Tacoma, you’ll probably find this app helpful. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a little annoying if you don’t pay – but it does the job of keeping you informed about your local area. Worth checking out if that’s what you’re looking for.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on the Tacoma News Tribune Newspaper app. I've tested a bunch of local news apps and this one's pretty solid. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and it does a great job of aggregating all the important news and info from the Tacoma area. And the ability to get breaking alerts and read opinion pieces is really useful. But I will say the ads can get a little excessive, and the app does feel a bit basic compared to some other news apps I've used. Overall though, if you want a simple way to stay up-to-date on Tacoma news, this is a pretty good option.
