User Reviews

Reviewers are mixed. Many appreciate having an easy, convenient way to keep up with local Magic Valley news and view the app as well maintained and updated. But the majority complain about ad-heavy experiences (fullscreen ads, redirects), frequent crashes or slow loading, and paywalls that block content. Additional concerns include outdated or sparse coverage and missing local topics, plus cancellation upsell friction. Overall, the app works for some users seeking local news, but is frustrating and unreliable for many others.

I tried the Trial for 3 months for a dollar then when I went to cancel the subscription. you have to call the representative waited 15 min on the phone and they keep trying to sell you the subscription. It shouldn’t be this hard to cancel the subscription. Do better! If it would have been easy to cancel I would’ve been back, but now I will not return.

Very poor performance. Pages don’t load completely and freeze up.

I don’t write reviews but I have to on this one. This app is horribly set up, does not function well, and only consists of teasers—you must pay to see. Problem is, I’d never pay because it fails to have relevant content. At most, I’d look at one or two stories. Most of what I really want to know I’d have to get through another news app.
