So here's my honest take on The Seattle Times app. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty solid. The content is top-notch - you're getting the same great reporting and in-depth coverage that you'd expect from The Seattle Times. But the real standout feature is how fast and clean the app is. Loads super quick, easy to navigate, and just an overall really polished experience. Compared to some other local news apps I've used, this one feels a lot more modern and user-friendly. Not gonna lie though, the ads can get a little annoying. And there were a few times where I got a bit lost trying to find a specific section or feature. But those are minor gripes - this is easily one of the better local news apps I've used.

Description

Been using The Seattle Times app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app that covers everything happening in the Seattle area – from local politics to sports to community events. Pretty solid if you’re into staying on top of what’s going on around town.

There’s a ton of content here – you can read the latest stories, watch videos, listen to podcasts, and more. It’s got a clean, streamlined design that makes it easy to quickly scan headlines and jump into the articles you care about. Took me a while to figure out all the different sections and features, but once I got the hang of it, I was hooked.

Look, if you live in the Seattle area and want a reliable source for local news, this is worth checking out. It’s not perfect – the ads can be a little annoying at times – but overall it does the job and keeps me informed. Definitely better than just scrolling through Twitter for news.
