## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — LACK OF LOCAL OFFICE/NEWS STAFF

*2024-05-02, version 7.9.0*

I am a journalism grad & worked as a reporter during my undergrad & law school years in Columbia SC. Using a composite news/editorial staff for 3 newspapers covering about 1 million people won’t work. You need boots on the ground in each locale.

### 1/5 — Subscription Trial NOT Working

*2022-08-09, version 6.12.5*

Was signing up for 99 cents for a 6 months trial subscription. Instead, I was charged $9.99 for a 1 month normal subscription. 
Fix it!

### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel

*2021-11-25, version 6.8.1*

Have tried unsuccessfully 3 times to cancel the subscription. Keep charging me.

### 2/5 — And Ind....new

*2020-03-12, version 5.23.1*

A world of information, but absolutely
Impossible to read such severely small
Print....font......gray color to boot.....
Please go back to the drawing board 
With this recent changeover.

Same song...second verse.  Font used
Painfully small.  Obit page...needs a lot
Of revision. Totally leave out Oconee
County in alllllllll areas. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2017-06-06, version 4.12.1*

App crashes when you open it. Started doing this after the newest iOS update

### 3/5 — IM Review

*2025-10-19, version 8.5.4*

I enjoy reading the online newspaper but the price is outrageous. When I started the subscription the price was about $10.00/month and now it is $18.99. I am considering canceling my subscription.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2017-09-23, version 5.0.2*

While I enjoy being able to read the news on the go, it needs more local sports coverage.

### 4/5 — eNewspaper

*2025-05-01, version 8.1.0*

I came across an old copy of the newspaper, and  it reminded me of how much we have lost.  The old format provided much more local news was included, plus other features like the local entertainment scene and editorials.  I may give up my subscription, but I am trying to hang in there.

### 4/5 — Access to lots of news

*2016-12-08, version 4.5.0*

This is a good little app with access to IM Greenville online & USA Today.

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2021-04-17, version 6.4.0*

Like all the coverage. Saves time too.
