I have the print edition and I pay for that. I don’t need a new app. Please delete the screen that says to download the new app. It’s very annoying! ### 1/5 — Not very good *2023-08-23* This newer version is constantly freezing up. Takes longer to download. The advance page buttons skip pages. In the middle of reading a news article, the app will blink and switch back to the front page. This “ new app” should have been tested before being dumped on us **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for using our app and providing your feedback.

I don’t need a new app. Please delete the screen that says to download the new app. It’s very annoying! ### 1/5 — Not very good *2023-08-13* This newer version is constantly freezing up. Takes longer to download. The advance page buttons skip pages. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2023-08-04, version 7.1.2* I love reading the newspaper but this recent update has made it challenging at best and downright frustrating. It is unstable and jumps from page to page arbitrarily and from larger to smaller print in the middle of articles. The previous version was much more user friendly ### 4/5 — Improved *2023-07-29, version 7.1.2* The new version makes it easier to grow the comics page and navigate while maintaining the clarity of the image. ### 1/5 — Lousy service *2023-07-17, version 7.1.2* For 50yrs I have been a subscriber, your app is very poorly designed and does not work! Paper is not readable in the present format! And the puzzles will not print, they turn off the connections when you click on the print button!!I hope you are smart enough to fix the problem! ### 1/5 — Las Cruces Sun News *2023-02-02, version 7.0.3* No user friendly ### 1/5 — Paper *2022-12-14, version 6.12.5* Now I can’t access my account and haven’t received my paper in 3days ### 1/5 — Subscribed but can’t read *2022-07-06, version 6.12.3* I’m subscribed but it won’t let me read any articles and days I e run out of free articles and need to subscribe. ### 1/5 — Very sad *2022-05-05, version 6.10.0* I have subscribed to the LCSN since 1992. The app shows me logged in and I am still limited to a few articles per month. ### 1/5 — Do not like new format *2022-03-27, version 6.10.0* Please bring back Las Cruces news edition that look like the actual paper. ### 1/5 — Nothing like the reg paper no obituary *2021-09-12, version 6.5.9* Nothing like the reg newspaper ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-02-08, version 8.6.0* There is no point having this app. All the stories you get to read you gotta pay e yes even though you already pay for the newspaper. It makes no sense to have or get this app. The regular paper doesn’t even have stories. Sum news is a joke ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money or time *2025-11-20, version 8.6.0* As the print media for the second largest city in NM, this “newspaper” is worthless. It should be called the Anti-conservative News. It is common to have days pass without a single story from Las Cruces. Virtually the entire paper is the most slanted articles reprinted from biased Reuters and USA Today. After reading their ethical standards, I find it difficult to see that they are meeting them. 🤮 ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-08-13, version 8.1.0* Be aware this paper is really just USA Today. The local news has a lot of NMSU football stories, very little otherwise. Some of the local “news” is days, weeks, or months old. Subscription is just not worth it, I’ve ended mine. ### 1/5 — Screwed up *2024-07-10, version 7.10.0* You really screwed it up with your last update. All I want is to read my local newspaper and now I can’t find it anywhere. I don’t want to read any of your other publications, but I can’t find a path to it. And why do you add pop up ads to a newspaper full of ads? I know it allows you to invade my privacy even more but you should try to mitigate your greed just a little. ### 1/5 — Way too expensive *2024-05-15, version 7.9.1* Way too expensive for someone who’s retired and living on a budget. Wish the would just leave it on a reduced price. ### 1/5 — Worst Newspaper APP *2024-01-05, version 7.5.1* This app is the worst app of any I’ve used in years. It seems to be filled with bugs. Fix it! ### 1/5 — the app is terrible *2023-12-16, version 7.5.1* it keeps freezing… locking up… getting pages the size you want is awful… I do the Fargo Forum on line… works perfectly ### 1/5 — Not very good *2023-10-26, version 7.3.2* This newer version is constantly freezing up. Takes longer to download. The advance page buttons skip pages. In the middle of reading a news article, the app will blink and switch back to the front page. This “ new app” should have been tested before being dumped on us Now the pages don’t fit the screen on my iPad, but are too big. What a mess ### 1/5 — No longer a local newspaper *2023-10-16, version 7.3.2* It seems to me this really isn’t a newspaper anymore. ### 1/5 — Broke something that worked *2023-08-24, version 7.1.2* A lesson in how to screw up a perfectly good app. Still haven’t fixed basic navigation in the app. Does not work with Folio Touch iPad case and is spotty at best with Apple Pencil. Previous version works with both of those devices. And to the developer team - not everyone wants to read a newspaper on their phone. IPads are great for newspapers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App 👍🏻 *2025-06-13, version 8.1.0* I really enjoy this app for pertinent southern New Mexico news, as well as national news.

The format I enjoy is the one from the original paper. It is easy to manueaver. ### 5/5 — Great news coverage!! *2022-10-19, version 6.12.5* I hope they keep the rate the same and not change it. Just wishful thinking! ### 5/5 — Excellent reports *2022-06-17, version 6.10.0* I enjoy reading my app keeps me abreast on what’s happening in Las Cruces ### 5/5 — Still solid after all this time *2021-09-06, version 6.5.9* Great coverage. ### 5/5 — Keeping up to date *2021-08-24, version 6.5.9* After living in cruces for several years i find it nourishing to read about las Cruces ### 5/5 — Thanks *2021-05-29, version 6.5.8* Enjoy the paper. ### 5/5 — Firefighters *2019-07-25, version 5.18.1* I want to say Cuddos”!
