Comments on Houston Chronicle for Android

★★★★★ J Jahn · May 29, 2026
I am extremely happy with reading the Chronicle on my cell phone. I can start or stop reading articles on my own time. I still have my favorite newspaper columns and most writer's that I have been following for years. It was difficult to change from print to digital. Nothing feels better than paper. But the high standards and quality of the Chronicle in print or digital is still excellent. And personally, the Chronicle is the free press. Now more than ever we need them to write the truth.
★★★★★ Albert Charles · Sep 29, 2024
I'm not a Technical person since I have retired. The Chronicle made it Easy for me to get to my section of the Paper. Two Thumps UP!!
★★★★★ Gail Orlando · Aug 21, 2024
Informative about restaurants, events, new to Houston. Excellent coverage on local and country wide news.
★☆☆☆☆ Annette Moore · Jun 6, 2026
I used to be great fan until a few weeks ago they changed the format.banner ad on top and bottom and blocks the page. I have tried calling, no answer. And emailed for answer 3 times. NO ANSWER
★★☆☆☆ Jake Johnston · Nov 23, 2024
The website doesn't look like a newspaper Make it a copy of the newspaper. We are former residents of Orange County, California and the Orange County Register website is an exact copy of the daily delivered paper. You guys can do better.
★★☆☆☆ Sherry Randall · Jun 8, 2026
After 3 articles it says I've reached my free article limit! I pay monthly!
★☆☆☆☆ Jill Veatch · Aug 17, 2025
I subscribe to both print and digital. Every time I try to use the digital format, I can't because I'm told I have to be a subscriber. I've asked for help three times for this most exasperating problem. The "fix" never works!
