### 1/5 — Same old app doesn’t work

*2023-10-05*

The supposed new and updated app link in the email sends you to the App Store for the same old app that doesn’t work. Opening the app arrives at a screen that will sit for long period of time saying Lo@ding stories ….. which never load. When you go to the tab to “login” after loading user name and password a message appears that says this publishers certificate has expired and the app is attempting to route you to some unknown web address

### 5/5 — I like it however

*2019-09-24, version 3.1*

I enjoy the newspaper however I wish it was free for those of us out of state of fl.

### 4/5 — Look for free pubs

*2018-11-12, version 2.6*

This is a great app for reading the free papers in Key West, the local headlines are just a bonus.

### 1/5 — Doesn't seem to work at all

*2016-08-17, version 1.0*

App just opens to a black screen. Tried deleting and reinstalling - no joy. Used to work fine, even if the content was pretty limited.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work with 6s

*2016-02-24, version 1.0*

Maybe needs a update

### 1/5 — Just an advertisement

*2015-08-08, version 1.0*

This app is useless.  You get the headline & the first few sentences of the story, followed by a link to their webpage, where you can buy the rest of the story. Crap app!

### 1/5 — If I knew how to give zero stars I would

*2015-06-12, version 1.0*

Worst app I've seen yet.  I believe a high school student would not pass his class if he were required to make an app.  It has 3 paragraphs of different articles.  All in black and white and the links may or may not lead you to the full article.

### 5/5 — Pathetic App

*2014-02-25, version 1.0*

This is the worst app I have EVER used. It's embarrassing The Key West Citizen would even have it.  A First Grader can design a more useful app. Anyone who says this app is useful probably works for the newspaper. Giving this app a one star rating is too generous but the review requires at least a star to submit. Absolutely PATHETIC! 
They should spend a few dollars and make an app that their online subscribers can use and easily log into.

### 1/5 — App Missing Lots of Information

*2013-03-17, version 1.0*

Can we not have an app that has more news? How about weather, sports, business or other island ideas to enjoy. Very sad and not worth downloading to read. :--(

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2012-11-17, version 1.0*

This is not worth the time to download. It shows you 3 stories you need to pay for on their web site.
