If you’re looking for the latest news, sports stories and things to do around Tampa Bay, you can now download our new mobile app on your phone or tablet and allow us to send you notifications.
The new app features a regularly updated news feed and lets you pick which topics you’re interested in with just a few taps. It also provides easy access to the Tampa Bay Times e-Newspaper.
Read on for instructions on how to download the app and get news alerts.
(If you already have our old app, you’ll need to go to the app store and download the new one. We will stop posting on our old app in the coming weeks.)
Download and open the new Tampa Bay Times app through the app store (you can also find the app here).
When you open the app, the homepage will look like the image below. Tap the “Settings” button in the lower-right hand corner of the screen.
