### 3/5 — Bill Cormier

*2023-12-07, version 7.5.1*

The app works fairly well but tends to bring up prior news stories as I click forward. Annoying but not the end of life as we know it!!!

### 2/5 — Never can find what I am  looking for

*2023-11-23, version 7.3.3*

I pay for this site, but can never find the community events or obituaries that are current. It really stinks

### 2/5 — Not user friendly even for subscribers!

*2023-11-10*

I had fix all the 800# to to get helpwith my online digital subscription

### 3/5 — Not like it used to be.

*2023-09-06, version 7.1.2*

I understand the plight of the newspaper industry and Fosters is hanging in.  Local news is nothing like it was.  Would love to see more coverage on UNH, especially FB and basketball.  High school sports coverage may have improved somewhat from few years ago.  Most local town news is nonexistent.  Miss the paper but can’t afford it, getting used to digital somewhat.  Bottom line, glad you are still here.

### 3/5 — Not user friendly even for subscribers!
