User Reviews

User reviews for the Abilene Reporter News iOS app are largely negative. The dominant issues are intrusive advertising and pop-ups that disrupt reading, including ads in notifications. Many subscribers want the old app back and find the new version hard to navigate, with a poor layout and difficulty locating sections like comics or puzzles. Content gaps (missing Sunday comics, outdated obituaries) and limited e-edition access in the app aggravate frustration. Some users report crashes, non-rotating screens, and billing or cancellation hassles. A few reviewers still praise the content or note readability tweaks.

Recent reviews

When I get notifications and click on them they come up covered by an advertisement. Instructions say to swipe up to get rid of the ad. If I swipe up starting to high it doesn’t work. If I swipe up lower it closes the whole thing. It is driving me nuts. I am going to quit taking notifications because of your poor design. I am a subscriber and real close to unsubscribing!!

Not much good to say about the website. The news content is ok but the app itself is difficult to manage and maneuver. What is happening to the Sunday comics? Two Sundays missing. Please! You can do better than this I’m sure.
