## Featured reviews

- **5★ · NO ADS!! CLEAN-SCROLL!!! CAN LISTEN TO ARTICLES!! · July 16, 2026** — Take my $4.99 a month! This app is great. Love the different intro greetings every time i open up the app, the crossword tab’s cute animation, and that i finally don’t need to be pestered by mobile ads for my go-to news source.
- **5★ · Same solid journalism. But no ads!! <3 · July 17, 2026** — Appreciate sfgate’s commitment to thoughtful honest coverage. Glad to finally have no ads. What events will you have?
- **1★ · Disappointed · August 12, 2026** — I have been an SF Chronicle subscriber since the mid 1970’s. When SFGate came online it was free and I read it along with my SFComical. Now the suits want to charge me to use the SFGate app too!? NO bleeping WAY. They can explain all they want about the Comical and SFNotSoGreat have separate editorial staffs and they must charge for its content,but they’re the same publisher. Contact me when you make it free to SFChronicle subscribers. Until then I’m gone.
