User Reviews

Users praise the app for its clean layout, easy navigation, and strong local coverage, with many noting it feels like a real paper and can be read on the go, especially by subscribers. However, recurring issues derail the experience: paywalls restrict access to obituaries and articles, the app frequently crashes or shows blank screens, there are too many ads for a paid app, and updates/compatibility cause new problems. The most mentioned pain points center on access restrictions and unstable performance, overshadowing the app's local news strengths.

Pros

Great layout and page format; easy to navigate; feels like reading a real newspaper.
Strong local coverage and timely updates for the North Shore, including sports and events.
Readable on the go and accessible to readers with vision impairments (voice over); works across devices.
Good integration with the print subscription; users appreciate having the digital edition alongside their paper.

Cons

Paywalls block access to obituaries and many articles; the minimum monthly rate and gatekeeping frustrate readers, especially those who paid for obituaries.
Frequent app instability: crashes, blank screens, and pages that won't load, often requiring reopens or alternative apps.
Ads are excessive for a paid app; interspersed with content and detract from reading.
Update/compatibility issues: new updates break features or fail to open eEdition after iOS updates, leading to forced upgrades and further problems.

Recent reviews

I cannot believe that you would force a subscription on readers in order to be able to view obituaries. Families pay hundreds of dollars for these to appear in your paper and now the only people who can see them are those who pay for a monthly subscription? Did it never occur to you that the majority of people who view these are older people on fixed incomes? While this newspaper is a mere shell of it’s former self and is not worth the cost of a subscription in it’s entirety, charging to see obituaries alone is completely absurd. Addendum: I just paid $850.50 for my mother’s obituary to appear in the Salem News for 1 day, and now, I can’t even view it or read people’s guest book entries, because I don’t have a subscription! How outrageous is this? I should be able to view the entry I PAID FOR anytime I want!

I live in Michigan but this app keeps me updated on everything that’s going on in the best area in the world. Thank you!

I prefer this app to the one I have for New York Times. Having the whole page format is great, and makes it easy to locate articles to focus in on. Very well done.
