User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise the app for timely, local Staten Island news and useful coverage, including for readers outside SI. However, the majority report usability issues: crashes, unreliable notifications, heavy ads/paywalls, perceived bias, and missing interactive features like comments, saved articles, or easy sharing. The content is strong, but performance and user experience need notable improvement to be reliable.
Pros
  • Timely, concise updates on Staten Island news.
  • Strong local coverage focused on Staten Island.
  • Useful for readers outside Staten Island (e.g., in NJ) to stay informed.
  • Some reviewers describe the coverage as a real treasure.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and glitches/freezing.
  • Unreliable or spammy push notifications (high frequency and often open to the wrong stories).
  • Paywalls and intrusive ads / subscription pressure.
  • Perceived political bias and editorial slant (left-leaning / anti-Trump rhetoric).
  • Lack of interactive features (no comments) and missing options to save or share articles.

I wish I could give them 0 stars. Worst news app. Traitors to Staten Island residents and money hungry. Don’t waste your time.

The app is buggy. It freezes often. When you receive a notification of a story, it often takes you to another story. The news seems to lean far left, and not balanced. Also, the stories seem to push the agenda of friends and companies who pay the paper off by posting fictional stories. Lots of errors, that go up without proofreading. Comment section unavailable. Most Story notifications require payment for the app(the stories come up free with a quick Google). Lots of spam ads. Repetitive headlines- best pizza- best donuts- best way to get fat etc. Beginner news outfit app with clickbait galore.
