The app would be great if it didnt keep crashing I have downloaded it several times but keeps happening        Crashes
This app is not updated as often as the website I simply cannot understand why updates to the Advocates website arent automatically imported to the app The app needs a lot of work and really cannot be relied upon to deliver anything but severely outdated news     Not updated regularly
One of the worst news apps for BR news No search terrible section selections repeatedly out of date etc Wouldnt recommend this to anyone Problem is the other local news apps are just as bad I would rate this worse than a one star but its not an option     Standard garbage
I no longer use this app very often due to app change in general To boot theres not a Classifieds tab or a way to search Aside from news the Advocate is a tool for finding employment garage sales etc Would be nice to be able to locate inapp save to favorites rather than going to the Internet        No Classifieds section or search function
This app really needs to be fixed Dont mind watching LSU football but having a gif start every time Im looking at the headlines gets boring Also ever since iOS 8 came out it crashes frequently The Advocate really needs to step up and create a first class app for the flagship paper in the state of Louisiana           Needs Fixn
Less buggy Still cant see or post comments           Needs comment support
Over the past couple of weeks the program crashes while Im reading the articles Happens numerous times Very aggravating     Crashes
Not updated regularly Just rehashing older stories all day Sports is poor     Not very useful
The content is good but the app crashes all The Time Between that and the incredibly annoying bottom of the page ads the ads that pop up when you try to open an article to read and the extremely annoying autoplay videos this app is really not worth the hassle of using it Its a shame because the news aspect is well done Please fix this or trash it and start from scratch        More crashing than NASCAR
The advertisements they load are invasive and make it hard to read certain articles     Needs lots of work
This app needs a complete overhaul The UI is really ugly and difficult to use Its not possible to set a default edition I think most people only read one edition of the paper which seems like a simple enough thing to do Ultimately trying to use the motif of the actual newspaper fails Other newspaper apps the NY Times for example do a much better job of giving you every story without forcing you to think about the online version as identical to the paper version Ultimately The Advocate isnt a very good newspaper but its better than the TimesPicayune so I dont expect much from this app The subscription is cheap though        Ugly UI difficult to use
The new problem is that the app keeps crashing The old problem is that how stories are posted seems random Sometimes all you get are traffic reports and stories that are days or weeks old        Sloppy
Version 43 is easier to use and read It certainly beats the TPs NOLA The entertainment listings need to separate the BR events from the NO events              New and improved
This app is terrible No search feature     Bad
I read 3 newspapers every morning this is the only one that will not refresh so I delete and reload     The Advocate
App does not refresh stories Dont want to go to NOLA but lack of updated content leaves me little choice for localstate news     Refresh lately
When a news notification is received I click on it it opens the app but the article referenced in the notification isnt opened isnt available in the list of articles provided Tried using app support link for this problem but the link doesnt work Also is there a way to list news most recent first My list is dated randomly ex current news is listed in the middle of older news rather than first In Sections in Breaking News Im on iPhone 5           Problem Viewing Notifications
Good app but do not like the Lsu football game videos that pop up              Stop the videos
Where are the classified ad sections Or a search feature Both would be nice Thanks        No Classifides
There are far too many talented app builders our there to have an app as bad as the Advocate This is the lowest performing cantrefresh news app of the 9 news apps that I read        Get on board
This updated version is very good Easy to read with a good New Orleans section for those fleeing from the Times Picayune Very clean weather section and the expansive photos section is good too The ads are nonintrusive Recommended                 Clean readable useful
App keeps crashing and is randomly showing a clip from the LSU Ole Miss game     Buggy
Would be a great app if it didnt crash everyday You sometime can read 23 stories before it crashes And then could crash as soon as you start reading an article     User friendly
Im not sure what the other commenters are talking about My app seems to be up to date Maybe they fixed it Who knows but its a good local news app in my opinion                 Works for me
Zero stars Difficulty updating Where are the daily Baton Rouge Police briefs This used to be my 1 app I would go to for newsbut no more Deleted I had to give it 1 star or it wouldnt postbut still zero     Zero
Pretty good content but crashes every few seconds If its fixed and thats a big if it would be good        BTR
This started off as a pretty good app for my iPhone which keeps me up to date with the news from my home town Today however I started getting an obnoxious ad at the bottom of my screen It covers up more than 25 of my screen and there is no way to X out of it It is really annoying and after accidentally clicking in it four times I gave up and exited the program If that ad stays there in the middle of my screen Ill stop using this app     Obnoxious ads
Crashes constantly Just about the one thing that doesnt crash are the full screen ads that pop up all the time Garbage app     Buggy and annoying
Its easy to navigate with a good variety of news from credible resources Love it                 Great news app
A SEACH feature linked to the current daily edition would be useful Reader selection from past articles would greatly improve the ADVOCATEs web presence The big red Image at startup is impressive but may delay Reader access to what they go to the site for handy informative and interesting written events           Could Be More Reader Centered
Recently Ive had problems with the app just shutting down in the middle of reading a news story Please address this problem Thanks           Problems wApp just shutting down
This app hasnt updated in months Now theres no content at all Did The Advocate quit technology     Quit
The new Advocate app has never displayed any stories under some categories including Sports For a few days News and Opinion functioned but now there is no content on Opinion and News has not updated for three days The format looks nice but a newspaper app without content is pretty useless     Not good
This app crashes constantly I dont understand why this cant be fixed     ALWAYS CRASHES
I find the update to be easer to read Wish there was a way to search I would like to see Joe Macaluso fishing report           I like the new update need to add search
This app crashes so frequently that it is not worth getting Average 2 crashes per article     Crashes
Overall good app need notifications on iPhone and iPad        Overall good app need notifications
This app has come a long way but has a long way to go I mainly hop on this app for lsu and sports The same stories are up day after day The NOLA app blows this one away Please add more content I realize you want to drive people to subscriptions but if you are going to have an app at least be somewhat competitive with what else is out there           Content lacking
The app recently started crashing regularly        Recent problem
Update Dec 14 update seems to be a complete rewrite No crashes yet So I bumped my rating up to four stars The Advocate is a dynamic force for change and accountability in Louisiana so Im glad to see this apps improvement Old review I use this app most days and subscribe to the paper The app is of much lower qualityit crashes all the time The fullscreen ads especially the video ads are ridiculous and irritating especially when compared with the approaches taken by other newspapers I suspect that the crashes are from the 3rdrate ad service in use              Much improved
Lafayette is over covered The people of Baton Rouge have very little interest of the activities there There should be a setting where you can choose the city where you live and exclude the others        Should be able to choose city
The last version had issues occasionally but was manageable this has not refreshed more times than has and weather is no longer there which was one of main uses besides seeing how many people were shot the previous day News is from 5th and its the 7th but the Nissan and BR General ads are looking great     Will probably delete
It seems that the only time this app has any news for the Baton Rouge area is if theres absolutely nothing happening in New Orleans They should rename this app after the Times Picayune Ill be deleting this app in a few minutes as New Orleans arrest reports make for a miserable way to start the day     Not for Baton Rouge
Impressive ease of navigating stories and sections Exactly what I need to catch up on the run Articles and coverage updated throughout the day News and Sports equally strong                 Awesome Advocate news app
Crashes constantly with the latest update The app is rarely current and up to date Very limited content Limited pictures and no way to zoom in or make them larger Sorry excuse for a news app     Terrible
where are the Baton Rouge news briefs theyre listed for New Orleans and Ascension        frustrating
Never works Wont load every time and when it does the info is several days old Useless     Junk
This app is never up to date The next time I have to delete it and reinstall Im giving up on it     Not a good app
Keep getting breaking news updates for interviews and other crap I love LSU but I dont think an interview with any and every person who in involved is breaking news I want to keep the notification on because there might actually be some NEWS I NEED to hear Going to use other local news apps its been a ridiculous couple days     Notification Fail
When I send an articles link via email the link DOES NOT WORK I tried to send this to you via the apps support function in the App Store and IT DOES NOT OPEN ANYTHING it goes to a blank page I am on iOS7 on an Apple iPhone 5     Links in Email Dont Work
