User Reviews

Many users praise the app as easy to use and good for daily updates (weather and sports info). However, repeated issues include crashes/loading problems, flaky edition access, intrusive navigation/ads, limited content access, and update/login problems after updates. Overall sentiment is mixed: useful daily news features but reliability and navigation problems are frequently reported.

Pros

Easy to use and well-organized interface with good white space.
Keeps you up to date with daily news and updates all day.
Includes weather details and national sports scores, adding useful context.
Overall positive app experience with infrequent bugs and regular updates.
Often preferred over competing apps (e.g., KALB) for reading The Town Talk.

Cons

Frequent crashes and loading issues, including pages not loading or only briefly loading.
Difficult navigation with multi-layer menus and intrusive pop-up ads; edition access is flaky.
Content access is limited or outdated: difficulty reading full editions, missing content beyond obituaries, and lack of sort-by-newest options.
Update/login problems after app updates, causing login failure or app not working on newer iPhone versions.

I can’t access the digital edition. It says “loading”. It has been loading for days. I will be cancelling

I purchased a subscription to search a portion of the paper. The app and the web based browser are horrible to try to navigate. You have to go through multiple layers to find older issues and the pop up ads and overall page view are so touchy that it’s far more trouble than it’s worth. The editions section only shows itself sometimes.
