Ratings and reviews

Fix your app! I don't know which problem is worse. Constantly crashing or telling me to login in again and again and never letting me read the article. You need to fix the app so it works consistently before you consider raising the price. Local news is nice but there are too many other options to pay for something that doesn't work.

I support local journalism as it is a valuable resource. That said, disappointed with this app. It requires re-login constantly - at best every other time I open it. Good for browsing headlines but a hassle if you want to actually read articles. Add to it the price of my monthly digital subscription continues to increases without any notification or warning every 12 months. I understand good journalism costs money to produce but the cost is now outweighing the value being offered.

Crashes continuously. Won't even open anymore on samsung android. Un-installed and reinstalled. When it "worked" you'd always get a different story than what was clicked. Update: well it launches and then closes again. The next time it stays open but then I have to log in again. If you browse for a few minutes it starts opening the wrong stories. It's an indexing problem when a story gets added but you would think they could come up with a scheme that would survive updates.
