User Reviews

Users praise the app for its clean, mobile-friendly look and usefulness for staying up-to-date on local news. However, widespread issues include crashes, intrusive ads, stale content with repeated stories, paywalls that block access to articles, and limited tablet support with few features like search or comments.
Pros
  • Visually appealing design and layout
  • Useful and simple to use for staying up-to-date with local news on mobile
  • Positive reception of the app's existence and Courier staff/content quality
  • Improvements noted in newer versions / better than the last version
Cons
  • App crashes or freezes, sometimes on launch
  • Intrusive ads/pop-ups disrupt reading and navigation
  • Content not updated daily; many reviews report the same stories
  • Sign-in or paywalls restrict article access (obits/full articles)
  • Poor tablet support (no landscape mode on iPad) and limited features (no search, no comments)

As a subscriber I finally deleted this app. It recognized me but froze and would let me see articles. It wanted me to “subscribe” (for less than what is automatically taken from my account monthly). Too much disfunction to mess with anymore.

Ever since I updated to the new version of this app it has been the same stories on it everyday. It never updates daily with the new stories and news

I can’t access any of the news articles. Always wants me to sign in…disappointing!
