User Reviews

Users praise the app for local Hawaii news, a true newspaper-like replica, and timely updates, plus ease of use and multi-device access. Repeated drawbacks include intrusive ads, delayed or stale content, perceived bias, formatting glitches, and paywall limitations that curb free access.

Pros

Local Hawaii news coverage helps users stay connected with Ohana and island happenings.
Print replica and page-by-page reading style that emulates the newspaper.
Timely breaking news with push notifications and early updates.
Generally easy to use after setup with a clean format and good organization.
Cross-device availability (phone, tablet, computer) and ongoing improvements to the print replica.

Cons

Intrusive advertising, including full-screen ads and repetitive pop-ups, even for subscribers.
News content often feels stale or delayed, with weekends and days not updated promptly.
Perceived bias in coverage, with calls for more objective reporting.
Formatting inconsistencies and occasional mis-typing or layout issues.
Much content remains behind a subscription/paywall, limiting access for casual readers.
