Pueblo Chieftain Headlines for Android

For several weeks e edition for Pueblo Cjieftain app on my Google devices has been crashing. I click on an article to open it in the reading pane and app closes. I can no longer open it. I must wait for the next days edition to come out to be able to open app again. Please fix this right away or you will loose me as a customer once again. I have reported this problem previously. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

They continue to post old stories and real news isn’t always on front page. I have a problem reading obituaries. When I click to read entire obit when done reading I have to go back to 1st one to read the rest. I’m sure it’s an algorithm issue that reader can’t just continue scrolling.

I’m not sure it if’s the app or just poor editing at the Chieftain. I see the same stories on the app with little new content even though I see new stories on the local news shows. I have to hear news about my community from neighbors instead of the local newspaper. What a shame!

Since the company was bought by an out of state corporation, this app had been terrible. Stories take forever to load. And you can only read an article or two a month, when before stories were free & paid subscriptions accessed extra content. It is a useless app now. No local news. No state, national, or international news. Wish it was different but I’ll get my non-local need from the AP & be in the dark on local news. 😠

Some stories take 30+ seconds to load. The home page takes nearly a minute to “refresh” after a story is closed. From what I can tell “refreshing” equates to new ads, the content and order of content seems to stay the same. Only about 30% of the stories are local news, disappointing for a “local” news app. The paper’s new ownership doesn’t seem to value the importance of local news to locals or to those interested in our community.
