Tulsa-World

Love the Tulsa world paper and glad to have the app which is better than the mobile browser version. I like getting news notifications as they happen. The app can be glitchy but overall it works.

I have been reading the Tulsa World through my browser, which seems to be the only way. I had the app before I subscribed, and that may be the problem. I removed the app and then reinstalled it from the App Store. It looks good. But when I go to the second page, it says subscribe before you continue. But when I go to the menu, it says I am logged in and shows my user name. But when I go back, it’s still won’t let me go past page 1. I’d like very much to use the app if it would let me in. I will keep trying different things to see if I can get it to work. I also tried going through the link that says Support. That just logged me into the Tulsa World. So it’s hard getting help. Eventually I may have to give up.

This app is difficult to navigate and makes finding where I would like to go difficult. The layout is not well designed and instead of just showing me stories, I have all these tiny section boxes to navigate. Why are things like classified ads and work listings even presented? If you click those sections it tells you that they are not supported on the mobile app. Not good. Then there are the number of “slideshow” type list articles such as 20 places to visit. These articles are ruined on the mobile app, all they do is present the title text and then there is no content besides the first photo. On the website’s e-edition you can scroll through a slideshow of pictures to read the article but none of the content is present. What a shame. Finally, although this is not the app, TW has gone downhill fast in terms of journalism and being a public forum. No more supported comments except in Facebook show the offloading of features and content for cost savings.
