User Reviews

Most reviews value the app for its local focus and ease of use, but frequent issues undermine it: stale or non-local content, cumbersome navigation, stability problems, billing frustrations, and intrusive ads/paywalls.

Pros

Easy-to-use app with quick access to news.
Strong local coverage for the South Dakota area (local news, weather, sports, events).
Keeps users updated with current local news.

Cons

Content is outdated or not local enough, with many articles copied from national sources and dated years old.
Poor navigation and reading experience (hard to read front-to-back; awkward menus).
Frequent performance problems (slow loading, freezing, login issues).
Billing/subscription problems (charges after cancellation; trouble canceling).
Ads and paywalls interfere with reading (ads everywhere; many articles behind subscriber-only gates).

Recent reviews

Much improved over last year

Really would like to be able to read the paper from front to back without continually going to a menu When I get the top stories it had a list with older dates than the current Maybe I am old fashioned but I like to read a paper from front to back. This was not an improvement
