User Reviews

Most reviews are negative. A recurring issue is a hefty paywall (~$25+/month) that blocks content including obituaries, paired with pervasive ads and frequent crashes. Reviewers say the content isn’t reliably local or current and can feel biased toward national outlets. The redesign worsens readability (fewer articles, more images, smaller text) and removes features like commenting. A minority note free local news remains available in some cases, but overall sentiment centers on accessibility, reliability, and content quality concerns.

Pros

Free access to local news (noted by multiple reviewers).
Some users appreciation of a visually prominent layout with headlines/images in certain views.

Cons

Paywall / subscription price around $25+/month to view articles and obituaries.
Intrusive ads and pop-up ads, including video ads and redirects to the App Store.
Content often not local or outdated, with reliance on national outlets (e.g., AP) rather than local reporting.
App reliability issues: crashes, won’t start, broken links, error messages after updates.
Post-update redesign reduces readability and usability (fewer articles, smaller font, poor contrast, inability to read or post comments).

Recent reviews

Unless you’re paying $24.99/month for a subscription, you can’t view anything. The news articles posted were often outdated and sometimes not even local (written by AP or other national news outlets). Now, without the subscription, you can’t even view obituaries, which are paid for by the families of the deceased. If you want actual local news that is free to the Glens Falls Community, check out the Glens Falls Chronicle. Better reporting from actual local journalists on local news for free!! Bye Post-Star.

Suddenly, and without warning, I can't read any articles unless I pay $25/month? Honestly, before this change the articles were rarely updated, headlines would stay the same for 3 days, pop up ads were beyond annoying and it was consistently glitchy. If you want good local news do yourself a favor and go the The Chronicle
