It's The Chronicle on my DROID Works great. Comment about GPS is misguided. Just change location in setting to postal code and it won't start GPS. But GPS turned off for me ok.
★★★★★
So far so good Very fast and loads directly to the SD card. Lots of options for content.
★★★★★
SFGate It worked for a couple of weeks. Now it just shows a white screen with "SF GATE" on it.
★★★★★
Great App Runs fine on 3G, 4G and WiFi. Loads quickly and functions well. HTC Thunderbolt
★★☆☆☆
RIDICULOUSLY SLOW!!!!! Why does this app need to access gps so voraciously? I'm close to ditching the only medium I use for local news and signing up for a real paper. Seriously Hearst, figure it out.
★★☆☆☆
Lame - uninstalling.( Wtf, close the app and the GPS is still tracking? Lame. Sfgate would be better if they just made their bloated website mobile friendly. Nexus S
★★☆☆☆
Can't disable gps. You can't disable gps usage even when telling it to use zip code and not gps. The interface is also clunky. The left/right arrows that appear on articles for navigation get in the way of text and don't fade fast enough.
★★☆☆☆
Old news is bad news The best place to go for old news. They need to update the articles more frequently.
