The Albany Times Union News app by Hearst Newspapers LLC provides the latest news and information from the Capital Region right at your fingertips. The app offers in-depth local reporting, breaking news alerts, Hudson Valley coverage, Capitol Confidential, puzzles, and comics.

With the free version, you have limited access, but you can upgrade to unlimited access for only $9.99 per month, which includes a two-week free trial period. If you are a digital subscriber, you can sign in to the app to start accessing your benefits, and if you are a print subscriber, you can activate your digital access by clicking on the “link print subscription” button on the app welcome screen.

The app is easy to navigate, and the news articles are well-written and informative. The puzzles and comics are a nice addition to the app, and the breaking news alerts keep you informed on important events happening in the Capital Region. However, the app does require a subscription to access all of its features, which may not be suitable for everyone.
