## Review summary

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- Content often not local or outdated, with reliance on national outlets (e.g., AP) rather than local reporting.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).
