Love the Advocate online
It took me nearly a year to get used to reading the “paper” on my phone but now I love it. I really like seeing the layout just like a well done print Ed. and I like being able to print or post a story on social media. My biggest gripe is enlarging a print page for easier reading and have it snap back in place with just a slight touch. This is aggravating. I see this problem has been mostly corrected but not entirely. Also there is a problem sometimes with the margins not fitting correctly within the corners of the screen when I enlarge something. I absolutely love the creation of the investigative journalism project. You will have more to cover than you can handle. Thank you Advocate. I have been a regular reader for nearly 45 yrs.

The E-Version is what every online newspaper should be like
I have stayed away from News Apps because they are only selling ads that you MUST watch interspersed with the news content I was looking for. The Advocate’s E-Version gives me the newspaper in the same format at the printed edition delivered to my home, and I pinch-and-zoom or select the articles I want to read. It’s like a paper edition, only it’s an image (like a pdf). It’s great. The ads are on the pages, just like the printed copy, but the ads don’t fill the page and require you to hunt for the X to close the ad. I have a paid subscription to the printed edition, and I don’t recall whether it requires my subscription Login info to allow me to access the e-edition.

Review
I live in Northeast Louisiana and reading the Baton Rouge Advocate by App is an absolute joy for me. Baton Rouge is the capital city of Louisiana and the current news that this App provides is so beneficial because I love to read current, up to date information regarding the state of Louisiana. The App is very easy to navigate and find information regarding different topics and the daily print version is just as beneficial as the digital content App. This App is just overall a great format to read and I thoroughly enjoying using it each day..

Excellent, well-designed App.
Great app. Excellent for reading the articles on my IPad. I can make the text as large as I want for reading because I read almost every article every day and need a slightly large font. I use both the subscription version and the free version and like both. The app has a slew of navigational aides allowing the user to find any article quickly. It also has a slew of sharing features so I can send articles to friends or post them on-line easily. Highly recommended.

I like the way The Advocate is placing more front- and second-page emphasis on significant news — local, national, and international — and relegating sports articles to their proper place. Also, I think the editors are doing a good job of curating ALL the news of the day. I read two additional papers every day and find that The Advocate for the most part identifies all the important news. Finally, the investigative reporting for local policy and governance matters is improving.; we need it!

ExPats love The Advocate News App
Living away from home year after year means we need this app. It’s the main way we stay connected. The coverage is tilted right and respectful of the left - like many people who claim to be fiscally responsible / conservative and socially moderate / liberal. Love the LSU coverage but wish they would cover more than fat-man-in-the-stands sporting news. More and more women and no traditional (football, basketball, and baseball) sports are important- at least online. Lead. Don’t follow if you’re a college town with national roots.

Advocate online edition
I have been using it for a few years now and it comes in very handy when l am out of town. I normally spend about five months at my camp in Grand Isle and about a month at my daughter house in Montana. When l am in BR l receive the paper addition. To avoid touching extra surfaces during CV outbreak l have started back with the e-edition while at home. I have been reading the Advocate daily for 60 years.

Advocate annoyance
The paper is great- current news, love The editorials and letters still available( USA Today papers no longer allow any). Even enjoy the comics and puzzles. Only downside and reason I didn’t give 5 stars, is the annoying Lee Michael’s add pop-up every time I open it. We live out of town and don’t even have that store in our community. There is plenty of advertising space inside The paper and I find it intrusive and obnoxious to have it in my face every time Inpull up the paper.

the entire paper in the palm of your hand.. and you control the print size
imagine reading your morning paper … it looks just the same as the print edition but now u it odd on your phone… what could be simpler… print looks to small.. touch the article with one finger and it is immediately larger and you can ok the size of print to whatever suits you… great job ADVOCATE

Keeping Up
The Advocate app is a great asset to me. I grew up in Baton Rouge and Zachary but have lived all over the country and have been settled in NC since 2001. The app allows me to keep up with my LSU Tigers and other things in the area and the state. I also follow my current news paper’s app and I must say the Advocate’s app is much better. I do have one issue, the Advocate app has quit loading on my IPhone altogether. Thankfully I can still read it on my IPad.

GREAT e-edition
I’ve subscribed to the Advocate for forty years because it’s an outstanding, locally owned paper. A few years ago I added the e-edition to my print paper but then dropped the print because the e-edition is so much easier to read on an iPad. The e-edition requires a subscription which is well worth the money! I’m not as happy with the visual layout of the app for updated breaking news, but that’s a relatively minor quibble.

Great newspaper app
The amount of work and reporting that goes into this free app and service to the community certainly does not go unnoticed to this reader. Compared to most other newspaper apps, The Advocate clearly excels. I appreciate the local reporters and the writers and others who put together an app that helps me enjoy my morning coffee and routine. Thank you all!

Great reading in the morning
As I cannot have the Advocate delivered daily in Mississippi, so it is a great pleasure to read on the app in the morning with my coffee. I can get the latest news from New Orleans and from Baton Rouge and my husband gets to keep up with the latest sports news.

Was a good app. Now trash.
Whoever is in charge of the appears to be not up to task. A while back, the app would just spin its wheels instead of opening up, because of which I deleted the app. Not long ago, I decided to install the app again. Although the app itself now opens up, what comes next indicates that The Advocate does not understand the concept of an app. After tapping on a story, what is almost always shown is the headline only. Even the teasers don't show. If The Advocate is not going to have a proper app, it should be removed from the app store. As soon as I finish this, I will delete the app.

Easy reading
We do quite a bit of traveling. Having the E edition is wonderful. We can always read our local paper each morning with our coffee. Plus when we are home, never have to go to the curb to get the paper. In addition, never have newspaper trash. The only time we miss the paper copy is during crawfish season. Lol

E edition
I prefer reading the edition because it’s easier to read articles. End of clumsy handling of pages to read articles. Stop killing trees which makes it more ecologically friendly and I don’t have to worry about receiving a wet newspaper when it has rained heavily.

The advocate
Johnny and I have been married for almost 55 years and we always subscribed to The Advocate and the state Times until the state times went away for the 55 years as well as many other people subscribed. As habit plays it I can’t get anything done UNTIL I get the paper. Thanks Barbara LUNEAU

Great app!
It is great but wish you could fix the app. When a user is reading the obituaries, the app takes you out of that section after reading just one and brings you back to the home page, thus making the user go back manually to the obituaries section making it time consuming, does that make sense?

Great paper
We really enjoy the Advocate. On a sad note, I was disappointed to receive the note that there would be a cost increase. The Acadiana edition is great for our local news and national. I hope we can continue to have the digital edition.

I appreciate the effort they put into providing local news to those of us living, working and/or traveling out of the area. I find the app crashes. The select all option fails during seven out of ten attempts. The read rate is painfully slow, I have to set the Speaking Rate to max in order to tolerate the slow speed. Finding the new article announced by the icon is trying.

I have been reading the “State Times”, “Morning Advocate”, “Sunday Advocate” my whole life. I am glad that you still have the Advocate left. I am glad that evolution did not take it from us. I read it everyday even though it is from my phone. Thanks for keeping it up.

I hate the Lee Michael’s ad
I hate having to stare at the Lee Michael’s logo EVERY TIME, EVERY SINGLE TIME, I open the app. If it were an instant, that would be fine. But it lasts WAY to long. Instead of reminding me to shop & enticing me with suggestions at Lee Michael’s like the print ads in The Advocate do, this makes me hate Lee Michael’s & never want to set foot in the shop or purchase anything again from there ever. Also, I hate the formatting of the news items.

Great start to my day
Checking in on the Advocate app catches me up on the news around Baton Rouge each and every day. I live out of state now but can feel like I’m right back at home in Louisiana by reading the Advocate app as though I was still a local newspaper subscriber. Very thankful for it!

Not Easy to get to e-edition
I like to read the e-edition. You have to open the menu and scroll down to the very bottom to open it. At least, give me a button at the main screen to directly go to the e-edition. Better yet provide a setting so that my device goes to the e-edition when I open the app

Very poor design in classifieds
After clicking through screen after screen to get to rentals and set up my search criteria, if I click through to any rental in the search results, to see details, there is NO WAY BACK to the search results! I have to start all over from the beginning! The search results don’t give any contact info, so I had to start over forty times!!! This is user torture. 🤬

The Advocate newspaper
My wife and I admire the well-rounded presentations of pictures, opinion articles, news stories, comics and sports by The Advocate. Newspapers are under-appreciated for the deep impact they have on our societies. Newspapers are much more than just another business.

I like the electronic version of this newspaper, the only problem I have is all the crap you have to do to get it there. I should be able to open the app and go straight to it. I would give it five stars if it would work that way. But I’m only giving it three.

App Always Defaults to Home
The app always defaults to the Home category and not My Headlines. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, but there’s regularly 10 useless sports articles for every real news article on the Home category. It either needs to default to the My Headlines option, or give you a way filter out all the sports articles on the Home category permanently.
