Same information day-after-day
I’m not sure it if’s the app or just poor editing at the Chieftain. I see the same stories on the app with little new content even though I see new stories on the local news shows. I have to hear news about my community from neighbors instead of the local newspaper. What a shame!
Terrible
Since the company was bought by an out of state corporation, this app had been terrible. Stories take forever to load. And you can only read an article or two a month, when before stories were free & paid subscriptions accessed extra content. It is a useless app now. No local news. No state, national, or international news. Wish it was different but I’ll get my non-local need from the AP & be in the dark on local news. 😠

Useless- Slow and lacking local content
Some stories take 30+ seconds to load. The home page takes nearly a minute to “refresh” after a story is closed. From what I can tell “refreshing” equates to new ads, the content and order of content seems to stay the same. Only about 30% of the stories are local news, disappointing for a “local” news app. The paper’s new ownership doesn’t seem to value the importance of local news to locals or to those interested in our community.

Worst app ever
This app is difficult to use. Can’t maneuver around or tell what is an ad & what is news!
News aggregator, local news comes second
The v1 If this app feels more like a poor news aggregator than a local news app. I waded through articles attributed to the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and a couple of article-sized ads before getting to the first local news story. The app seems to optimize for article recency and ad revenue rather than local relevance or even national/global/regional significance.
