User Reviews

Reviewers consistently describe a fragile, unreliable app. The most recurring complaints are crashes or loading failures, difficulty logging into paid subscriptions and bypassing paywalls, and incompatibility with older devices due to OS requirements. Many users also report intrusive ads inside paid content and degraded functionality after updates, including slower performance, missing front-page graphics, and reduced features. Content timeliness is another concern, with posts and updates appearing slowly or not at all on weekends. Overall sentiment is negative, with calls to rollback or switch to alternatives.

Pros

No widely reported positive features across reviews.

Cons

Frequent crashes and loading failures, making reading unreliable.
Cannot login to subscription through the app or bypass paywalls; paid content often inaccessible; customer support unresponsive.
New version requires newer iOS; older devices (e.g., iPad mini 4) can’t upgrade to run the app.
Ads persist despite paid subscription; intrusive ads and pop-ups degrade reading experience.
Content timeliness and features degraded after updates; front-page graphics missing; weekend gaps; some features like sharing or comics removed.

Too Liberal, point of view is biased to Left

This app is horrible, it is a task to scroll without constantly clicking the advertisement links packed into every article. For $160 a year it has more click bait scammy ads than questionable free apps. I appreciate the last vestige of local news but the app is garbage.
