User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for local-news focus and community value, but cite recurring issues: paywalls blocking access, difficult navigation and search, login and subscription hassles, stale or biased content, and poor support including cancellation problems. A few notes about fewer ads than the site exist, but overall sentiment is negative with a desire for easier access, timelier coverage, and better UX.

Pros

Strong local news focus.
Trusted, long-standing local publication.
App provides a reading experience with fewer ads than the website.
Keeps subscribers up to date with local news.

Cons

Paywall: full articles require a subscription to read.
Poor usability: slow, non-intuitive interface and weak search.
Login/account friction and subscription restoration issues.
Content gaps: old news, limited coverage (no national/world news) and bias concerns.
Cancellation difficulties and poor customer support.

Recent reviews

Great local news but they update the app too often. Seems like every time I open it I have to update it.

Too much emphasis on crime How about more about the lithium ion battery facility planned for Hurley Avenue? Why not place it at a safe distance in the Hurley Flats nearer to the Central Hudson transformer station?
