### 5/5 — Pog

Poggers

### 1/5 — Won’t keep me logged in

*2022-03-20*

This app worked fine until its latest update. Now it makes me login each time I use it even though I am a subscriber. Tech support told me to clear my cache in Safari. I did that - but it still doesn’t keep my credentials.

### 1/5 — Crap!!!!!

*2020-11-20*

One sided views! Little local coverage! Great news for Communists! Absolute garbage

### 4/5 — Search feature

*2019-12-20*

I haven’t been able to find a search feature in your updated app

### 5/5 — Mr. John O.

*2019-08-12*

Your efforts to limit on-line readers to a small number of articles to be read is self defeating to advertisers and is moving readers to other sources for local news.

### 1/5 — Fix the problem

*2019-08-12*

I am very disappointed in the newest version of this app you used to be able to read the obituaries with no problems but now it counts toward the five free articles i use it to tell friends and family that a certain obit is in especially non subscribers I am thinking about deleting it

### 5/5 — Like the new look

*2019-07-31*

Looks good. Works good. So far it’s worked perfectly on my iPhone XR.

### 1/5 — Cannot use without a subscription

*2016-07-23*

Completely useless app. Use your browser - don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Bad update for iPad

*2016-03-06*

Latest update useless on iPad. 3 blank Windows. Ok on iPhone, though.
Please fix!

### 1/5 — App is constantly locking up

*2015-11-13*

It seems that since the latest iOS update the news app isn't functioning well at all. Open it, launch one story, and it freezes up.
