Well, I can always go the the website. ### 3/5 — Good when it works *2014-04-01* This app is kind of hit or miss. When it loads properly, I appreciate having it and the ads aren't overly annoying. But sometimes I experience a problem where it doesn't load new content and I'm looking at 1 day old info. I'm glad to have the app and it's not terrible. Just not great either. I wish the Opinion section was at the top not the bottom. Also wish I could search. ### 4/5 — Enterprise Record *2014-03-02* I have much preferred this app to having to spend $1.00 for one newspaper. I like the way it allows me to find older articles I may missed. Thos app is also easy to navigate. However, recently I've been bombarded by loud video ads that appear unexpectedly and wake my wife in bed next to me, even when I have the phone muted. Lose these ads ER. ### 3/5 — Doesn't update very frequently *2014-02-23* I do appreciate this app & read through it everyday... However it doesn't seem to update as often as it should & sometimes it won't open up a story when I click to read it.... Good app tho. ### 3/5 — Good until LOUD video ads added *2014-01-15* I enjoy the convenience of reading our local paper on my iPhone with this app. But now suddenly super LOUD video ads pop up when you least expect, and you can't even turn them off immediately. It's extremely annoying. Can't read at night as I never know when a blast of sound will emerge. ### 2/5 — ALMOST good *2013-12-07, version 4.6.4.0* I'm ok with pop ups, but to have auto playing commercials, that you can't close out of is just downright rude. ### 4/5 — Use it daily *2013-09-09* I get more frequent updates of local news from FB news feed, however as an app it does the job. ### 2/5 — Crash! Boom! *2013-08-12, version 4.4.0.0* App crashes frequently. Need to get more stories posted more frequently. Otherwise I like reading about my home city. ### 2/5 — How to get to the web site *2013-07-20, version 4.4.0.0* Would be nice to have a link to your web site from the app. Most newspapers request a sign in, why do you not? ### 4/5 — Good app *2013-07-02, version 4.4.0.0* Keeps me up to date on local news ### 3/5 — Chico er. *2013-06-28, version 4.4.0.0* Needs to be updated more often ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Noisy Ads waking spouse action news app better *2018-03-23* This is a follow up to an earlier review. The app still has instant loud pop up ads that randomly appear. Considering many people enjoy reading the news peacefully in bed or at other times these loud ads don’t seem appropriate. Certainly far cry from the traditional enjoyment of a newspaper anyway. I’ve found a temporary solution on the iPhone of double clicking the home button and swiping up to quickly close the app. Then I wait hoping my wife doesn’t wake up from the loud but brief noise the ad made :-/ PS I know they need revenue but since Chico ER targets a Chico audience couldn’t they just add sponsored articles like the action news now app does. There they have a private dining ad for Chico restaurants etc.. and Chico area targeted ads may appeal to local businesses. ### 1/5 — will not launch *2015-06-20, version 6.2.68* Since last update the app will not launch. Please undo the last update!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2014-05-08, version 4.6.4.0* This app is a joke. You're better off buying the paper once a week ### 1/5 — Ads frustrating *2013-10-15, version 4.6.0.0* I am frustrated with the constant advertisement popping up when looking at media pictures. I've deleted the ER application at one time because of this. It's irratating! ### 1/5 — Weak platform, often doesn't loaf *2013-04-29, version 4.2.1.0* Do not like this news delivery platform at all, it devalues the newspaper and often doesn't load the days stories. Long live print!! ### 2/5 — Update the Letters to Editor *2022-01-11, version 7.6.1* The app is not showing today’s letters to the editor. This keeps happening. Please fix it! ### 2/5 — Print too small *2020-06-28* Appreciate rhe offer of local news, however the print is too small to read. ### 2/5 — Small font. Horrible contrast *2016-12-26, version 7.0.0023* Went from a mediocre app to truly poor. Sad. ### 2/5 — Very glitchy *2015-02-23* I've had to delete and re-install this app multiple times. It works for a week or two then, out of nowhere, when you click on an article it takes you to a Press+ account sign in page. Sometimes I can just hit cancel to read the article, but most times it spits me back out to where I have to click on the article again. I will have to repeat the process about 3-4 times before it actually lets me read the article. I would give up on this app except it's my only access to local news. Please fix this glitch. ### 2/5 — Please remove the obnoxious video ads *2014-06-04* This would be a four or five star app if the video ads were removed, very annoying. I'd happily pay a buck or two to have this app without ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fine App *2020-01-22* This app works perfectly fine now in terms of functionality. I also appreciate the timeliness of the reporting! ### 5/5 — Where are the death notices and obituaries? *2019-07-17* Seems to me you could easily publish death notices and obituaries on this app. If you did, I would give it a much higher rating. ### 5/5 — Cool *2014-04-30, version 4.6.4.0* Does the job, and well. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-04-24, version 4.6.4.0* Good local news!!!! ### 5/5 — Quick, Accurate, and Easy *2013-11-19, version 4.6.0.0* Great local app ### 5/5 — Very good *2013-06-29, version 4.4.0.0* Great for local news! ### 5/5 — Great way to keep informed. *2013-06-26, version 4.4.0.0* Great way to keep informed. ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-06-13* I love the ER app I don't have cable or extra money to spend on a newspaper so this is the only way I keep up on the news! ### 5/5 — Resourceful *2013-06-12, version 4.3.0.0* Great app. ### 5/5 — Great way to get local news *2013-05-17* I Enjoy reading current local news on my ER app. It's easy to use and i look forward to finding out what is going on around town. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
