Ratings and reviews

The new e-edition is horrible. Very slow and comes out fuzzy. Eventualy, it clears. Cant download and print specific features. Sometimes you have to print the whole page. Theres no scrolling at the bottom of the page to find things fast. On the whole its a poor substitute for what we had before. I called the paper to express my opinion but nobody cares.

App does not work well. Blank pages pop up on both my devices. On my tablet the font size is too small to read. Edit: I know how to adjust the font size. I do not think I should have to resize the font for every article. In app customer is not responding to my concern. May 2024: App redesigned. Still doesn't work. Crashes regularly. June 2024: I thought McClatchy had hit bottom, but it keeps getting worse. I need to log back in to my account every time I use the app.

This is nothing but a subscription scam! They aren't even located in Lexington. Never received one paper and when you try to dispute it, they will delete your information. No contact numbers for billing until they try to collect. Dispute them via PayPal to get your money back and they'll send you a fake collection notice, even when they haven't delivered anything! This kind of business should be illegal but they're popping up more and more. Beware!
