User Reviews

Overall sentiment is negative to mixed. Some praise the app’s clean UI and access to breaking news and the digital paper, but frequent reliability and policy issues dominate: eNewspaper article access often fails, the app freezes, and navigation feels clunky. Subscription pricing for games is seen as steep with billing confusion, and concerns about editorial bias/owner interference erode trust. Support/billing problems and content organization issues are also repeatedly mentioned, prompting cancellations or deletions.

Pros

Clean, modern UI and easy-to-use design with clear font

Cons

eNewspaper/reading issues where articles cannot be opened or read from the current edition
App freezes or becomes unresponsive when opening articles
Subscription pricing for games is costly and there are confusing or disputed charges (especially vs. Google Play)
Perceived editorial bias and owner interference undermine trust in the publication
Content/navigation issues such as outdated top stories, limited article visibility on the home screen, and difficulties managing downloaded papers

Recently when I’ve been using it, I get a message that shows “Please try later” and now news populates. Happens a few times a week. I just have to wait a few hours and try again. Restarting the app doesn’t help.

Beware— I got the yearly subscription and barely used it because the journalism is subpar and the content generated just isn’t great. If you do get the subscription, however, you’ll want to cancel your subscription immediately—otherwise they will auto-charge you a year from the date that you first started for another year. No updates or warnings that you were about to get charged.
