## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App needs major work

*2024-12-25*

Consistently crashes when opening. Content is never updated and is outdated. The app keeps getting worse and worse as time passes.

### 1/5 — Corrupt

*2020-03-12*

I helped police arrest a sexual predator who WORKED WITH THE STEUBENVILLE FOOTBALL TEAM! Herald Star didn’t cover it. I pressed it and eventually they covered the basics - afraid to upset the small town high school football team while someone who wants to RAPE an underage girl is there. Excuse me - but you put the popularity of a high school football team above coverage of a RAPIST who engaged underage girls - while working in a locker room of a team convicted of rape (and hiding it). Sure, I’m all for the success of a football team - BUT NEVER TO COVER UP RAPE!! - ESPECIALLY OF A CHILD!!! This is absolute evil!! This “media” group is corrupt to the core. It’s days are limited. Eventually there will be enough options to people of legitimate sources that will put Ogden under forever. CORRUPT, ONE-SIDED. A PATHETIC ATTEMT AT ACTUAL JOURNALISM. They do not report the same things in print as online. And it has taken them YEARS to update some simple apps. OGDEN, like the family, has lost any sense of morality in its business, just like its family for the last 20 years. It’s time to give up, slacks. You’ve sold whatever dignity you had. Now you are NOT objective. You are NOT fair. And you have COVERED for rapists at a SCHOOL who has a history. SHAME.

### 1/5 — Costoniakid18

*2017-07-31*

I live in the 50th state and have always read it. I even delivered it In my younger school days. Please up date the app so it will work on the latest iPhone. I need to read the latest news from home.

### 1/5 — Lousy, glad I got it when it was free

*2016-12-03*

Paragraphs in articles are sometimes duplicated; you cannot use the search feature - you get an "oops". Obituaries are repeated. They have never updated this app and I've had it for years. Don't bother. Just Google what you want to know!

### 1/5 — Why?

This app used to be great, it was my go to place for the local newspaper. Since then it has hit rock bottom.Horrible app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

### 3/5 — Ogden papers

*2017-09-26*

Since the web sites are so far behind does that mean your company doesn’t care about about the people in the Ohio Valley
