User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for local news coverage but express frustration due to the new paid subscription model replacing free access, frequent app crashes, login authentication bugs, and severe readability issues with article display. Many also complain about intrusive subscription prompts and a poor user experience leading to app uninstalls.

Pros

Provides local news coverage

Cons

App requires payment for content that was previously free, irritating users
App frequently crashes or shuts down unexpectedly
Issues with login authentication not being retained, requiring repeated sign-ins
Display issues with articles (black background, unreadable text)
Excessive and intrusive subscription/payment pop-ups

Recent reviews

Disappointed that primary newspaper no requires payment to read articles that used to be free. No reason to pay when you can get most of the same information from one of the local TV news stations websites.
