The app works well nowadays, but I cannot for the life of me understand how they are prioritizing news stories in the feed. In the Sports section, it's almost impossible to find stories about the Rockets, our professional team that is 2nd in the Western Conference and nearing the playoffs. I have to literally go to the search bar to find their coverage. Meanwhile I'm fed every flavor of meaningless speculation on the Texans offseason. I know this is a football town, but this is ridiculous.

changed from 5 star due to the deceptive practices they use when trying to cancel. You have to call to cancel but good look getting someone on the phone. I ordered a new debit card but they still found a way to take money out. After calling my bank (USAA) they couldn't dispute the charges despite being charged twice in 2 days because it was listed as a one time payment despite it being a recurring subscription service. Great content though.

Very, very well done news app. I've used (and still use) other apps for international or local city news in the past (mainly the BBC). I was pleasantly surprised how good the Houston Chronicle app was. Not just for local articles, but also the other features like games and comics. It's like having a print copy on your phone. Highly recommended, especially if you're a Houston area resident and care about local news.
