The Advocate mobile app is pure garbage...

Have we discussed the absolutely worthless Advocate mobile app?? The Advocate is usually where I have looked for my local news. Their app has made this so damn frustrating that it makes my blood pressure rise. It’s stable and pretty bug free, but it’s damn near impossible to view the content of the article because of the constant pop up ads. You can’t navigate to a different page without viewing a ad. The articles are split up with an ad every damn paragraph. As if this wasn’t enough, in the last month or so my screen changes to an ad requesting to sign up for instant alerts for weather, emergencies; etc. I’ve declined the alert service time and time again but it continues to happen. It’s so bad that I’ll click off and not even scroll down and the ad will pop back up without even being touched. I completely understand that the newspaper/app is driven by ad revenue but it’s made its the app not worth the headache. I’m sure they have have received complaints for this. We know their reporters read this site so maybe our cries will be heard.

The paper version isn't any better.

The advocate as a whole is pure garbage. Nothing new and definitely not limited to the mobile app

Their website is pretty damn horrible too. At least the paper has sudoku.

I get my news from their competitor, Noadvocate.

Their website is bad with ads too now. About 5 seconds into reading an article a full page ad will cover the entire screen that you have to close.

If the ads prevent you from reading the Advocate, then the app is an improvement over the paper.

It sucks bad. They'd slap an ad on dead puppies if they thought it would sell a paper or two.

Have you ever been to their website? It’s the computer version of aids

Makes sense the mobile apps suck donkey scrotum because generally speaking ALL newspaper websites are the worst websites on planet earth. They must think giving your computer, tablet or phone the internet version of full blown aids is a good way to attract readers.
Thank God for Chicken and Tigerdroppings.

Yeah, but I can't house train my dog with their app.

I avoid their website because all their ads drive me crazy.

I’ve completely stopped reading it because you either buy their shitty paper full of SJW retards or your computer catches AIDS from their shitty website full of SJWs.

The app is all I have looked at in years and those days are now done. When the ads aren’t filling the whole screen, it’ll do this shite where the words disappear from the article and I have to swipe right to another article, then come back to it to see the words again. Right about that time, another ad pops up about signing up for this/that or a free iPhone or eBay gift card.
frick the Advocate. I wish we had a competitor but we’re kind SOL there too.
