Crossword puzzle loads instead of front page. **Developer response:** I apologize for the inconvenience. We have released a new version, 9.16.1, that provides general updates and addresses some bugs. Please update to the latest version and tell us what you think at csc-digital-escalations@lee.net. ### 1/5 — Digital print edition!! *2019-01-23* Why don’t you have an app to go straight too the print digital edition??? I hate having to sign in then go thru a menu to get to print edition. Then if I get interrupted, I have to go back thru it all again. VERY INCONVENIENT!! The print edition should be more convenient, not less!!!! ### 1/5 — A bad news app made worse *2018-11-06* High schoolers could do a better job than this. The developer should really try this app out before changing it, what a train wreck. ### 1/5 — New format 😝 *2018-10-28* You fixed something that wasn’t broken. The new format is very confusing. I like to read the paper on line like I watch tv, landscape style. With the new “improved” version, I have to prop my iPad up on end. The ads flash, they vary in size, and this causes the text to jump up and down making it difficult to read. ### 1/5 — Do not install this app *2015-09-30* Do not install this app, unless you like being constantly redirected to the App Store. Totally sleazy. ### 1/5 — Yes, it's totally annoying -- FIX IT!! *2015-09-21* To read any story, it now redirects to the app store no matter what I touch on the page -- forcing me to double tap, remove the window, and go back. At worst, it's a sleazy way of boosting their ad click-throughs and at best, it's a glitch that needs to be fixed and is quite infuriating. If this is still happening a week from now it will not be taking up space on my phone. ### 2/5 — Really annoying! *2015-09-19* To the creators of this app; please fix the constant redirect to the App Store every time I read an article! Each time I open an article, I am redirected to the App Store by whatever ad is being featured without tapping the ad at all! I have had this app for over a year and it didn't start doing this until the last update. I enjoy getting my local news and use this app daily so please fix this glitch or I'm going to delete it! ### 2/5 — Too few articles *2013-01-02* This app would be great if more articles were available. Also, when the articles are there, it will be repeated in the list 2 to 3 times. Since the update in October, comments are no longer working. A bit disappointing. ### 3/5 — Comments *2013-01-19* I cannot access the comments section of any article as I continue to receive a "comment access error". ### 5/5 — Great for local news *2014-08-23* I read it at least once a day. Just today there was an article about a fire near our place that we saw the smoke from. Nice to keep up with what's going on. There is one bug -- went to full screen on a photo and got stuck. I am writing this review since I had to uninstall and redownload to fix it. But overall I love the app. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — News on the go *2014-03-02* This works really well, though I would like to see the different sections higher up on the scroll list. ### 5/5 — Miss *2014-02-28* I highly recommend this app. It's wonderful for easy on the go access anytime, a anywhere. Wanna know what's going on in your town while you're camping? This app gives you everything you need to stay on track :) ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-09-19* Great, great news! Very easy, user friendly app. Go Beavs! ### 5/5 — The valley *2011-11-26* Great news and current updates! Good app to keep you in the loop for the mid valley!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2010-08-29* I love it one of the best I've downloaded yet!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
