Ratings and reviews

This app still sucks. Everything about it. It's laggy, glitchy and still just as bad in 2026. Hasn't improved Since I cancelled in 23'. The 5-star reviews are a fake bot most likely. I'm going to let this subscription run till it's over and I won't be giving it a third chance. I suggest you DO NOT bother to download this app. More importantly, do NOT pay for a subscription! You'll be paying for aggravation, literally. The updates NEVER help any of the issues!!!

I used this app for years. It used to be a decent way to keep up with local news, weather, and sports, interspersed with an acceptable number of not-too-intrusive ads. Lately, in addition to the ads, it pushes more and more frequently to pay for a subscription until you can't ever get beyond the new pay wall to see a single article. I deleted the app. The newspaper's sales/marketing management has become so obnoxious I am unsubscribing from the delivered hardcopy version too, after 30 years.

Crashes quite a bit, when you click on pictures it brings you to random other pictures needs work update: No i do not want a subscription for an app that doesnt load full articles, constantly crashes, and in general just doesnt work. you have had the same problems for over a year, and now ask to subscribe every few articles. uninstall.
