### 5/5 — Great paper

*2026-04-23, version 8.9.0*

Really enjoy the articles

### 5/5 — Enjoy the e-edition

*2026-04-01, version 8.9.0*

Easy to read

### 5/5 — Good News

*2025-04-04, version 8.1.0*

Great Source of unbiased reporting of the FACTS and Truth!

### 1/5 — Glitchy, FRUSTRATING app

*2025-03-22, version 8.1.0*

If I could give this PAID app, ZERO stars, I would. It NEVER opens on the first attempt. (I have checked to be sure I’ve updated; that is not the issue.  It’s the app.) Although I am a paid subscriber, I can’t open the stories associated with this app; the “gear” just spins and spins and eventually the app closes. What’s the point of paying (handsomely, I might add) for an app to works with do little reliability?

### 1/5 — Liberal, anti-Trump articles.

*2025-02-07, version 8.0.0*

Have subscribed to this local newspaper for over four decades and have witnessed it’s steady decline. I’m looking for the news and not biased reporting which is slanted in many of the news items covered.  And it is difficult to even open the app on a daily basis.  About every two months I’m told the paper does not recognize my password…have updated it 8 times and it didn’t work again today.  That’s it!

### 2/5 — Extremely FRUSTRATING app

*2024-12-16*

It is extremely frustrating to have an app that my husband and I expect to be able to use daily be so unreliable. Case in point: I’ve tried FIVE times this morning to open the app to read the local news. It briefly opens to their news “teasers”. When I try to open the actual digital newspaper, I’m kicked off. This instability is the ONLY thing that I can rely on to regularly happen. I’ve restarted my phone. Deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothing changes this issue. Unacceptable for an app for which we pay handsomely.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-09-26, version 7.3.2*

This new app is terrible! Finding additions is impossible. You can’t enlarge the screen almost every move sends you to a page you don’t want. This is NOT an improvement over the old app! Please bring back the old app and get rid of this terrible excuse for an app.
