User Reviews

The Valley News app is praised for easy use, readability, full-text content and flexible reading options that keep users connected to local news while traveling. However, the updated e-paper format is widely criticized for poor navigation, inconsistent tapping, and bugs at launch. New editions opening on the last viewed page and calls to test the rollout are common. Overall, users value accessibility and convenience, but the new format has created significant friction and may push some to cancel or revert to other delivery methods.

Pros

Very easy to use with intuitive navigation and readable typography.
Full newspaper text with minimal distractions (no heavy photos, ads, or videos).
Three flexible reading options to read the paper.
Convenient for travel and staying connected to local news when away from home.
Overall reliable and easy-to-access source of local news.

Cons

The new e-paper format is not user-friendly and feels like a step backward.
Navigation to specific pages/sections is difficult or inconsistent.
Tapping to open articles can be unreliable during use and on launch.
New editions often open on the last page viewed rather than the first page.
Some reviewers are considering canceling or renewing expectations due to the changes.

Happy to support our local news sources.

It seems ‘fancier’ or something with more features, but all I want to do is read the daily paper and the previous version of the app was much better suited for that, much easier to navigate through the pages and select articles from the page. This version is definitely a step backwards in that respect.
