### 2/5 — Where are the obits?

*2026-03-11*

There used to be a tab at the top of the app to access obituaries. It’s nowhere to be found. App gets more difficult to navigate with every update.

**Developer response:** Obituaries can still be found in the top banner, you may just need to scroll slightly, as it is all the way to the right. You can also find Obituaries under the Sections menu.

### 5/5 — Great paper

*2024-12-13*

The best paper .

### 3/5 — Crossword Puzzles

*2024-11-17*

How can I view and print crossword puzzles

### 1/5 — Award Winning

*2015-11-04*

Award winning - Child Please. Your local high school sports are pathetic. If I didn't travel so much I would be forced to dig under my cushions for spare change to find out what is going on in the Wyoming Valley before I'd clog up space on my computer. Or better yet....buy the Times Leader which is a nose hair above "The Voice"

### 1/5 — No updates

*2015-10-11*

Don't know if it's because it's the weekend but nothing has been updated for 23 hours on this app. Really?  A newspaper app?

### 1/5 — Bad app development

*2015-06-02*

This app needs improvements starting with social media sharing and needs more updates more frequently

### 1/5 — Old news

*2015-02-07*

Old news.

### 2/5 — Citizens voice

*2015-02-03*

Could be good if they would up date it more often. They're very slow doing that.

### 1/5 — Old news

*2015-01-28*

If you like to read 2 day old news this is the app for you.

### 1/5 — Paper is terrible.

*2014-10-19*

This online paper is a total waste of time. They never update and when they do it's days old. Subscribe to the leader. At least they update hourly. By the way I was made to give one star to post my review.
