### 2/5 — Freezing Up Multiple Times Since Last Update

*2026-08-05, version 7.0.0*

App has frozen multiple times since last update.  Scrolling seizes up and forces you to close app completely and restart.  Needs updating or review.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-09, version 6.2.1*

Bad customer service

### 1/5 — Spam

*2026-05-11, version 6.2.1*

The app constantly spams your phone with alerts. When you click to read one it gives no preview and gives you a sales pitch to subscribe. Don’t use unless you already subscribe

### 1/5 — The Citizens’ News Paper

*2026-02-20, version 6.2.0*

Newsday. 
Suddenly turned inside out…
Cannot access the paper page-by-page.

### 1/5 — Liberal rag

*2025-11-12, version 6.0.6*

I only read it because it’s free with my optimum service. Newsday spins the facts to lend support to its political leanings, and has now deleted the ability to make comments in the top stories area where many people would express their thoughts and opinions on many topics trending in the news headlines. This is no doubt because some of these expressed views are not in agreement with Newsday’s political agenda,... that’s called censorship. Which is the last thing a newspaper should be promoting. Shame on you newsday,...

### 1/5 — This App Never Improves

*2025-10-16, version 6.0.1*

It just gets more annoying. An example… why, each morning, does the app insist on reloading to the current day’s paper rather than keeping the edition I was in the middle of reading?!

### 1/5 — Solving problems

*2025-09-28, version 6.0.1*

I read articles but when I connect to the links inside the article, Newsday ad pops up and tells me I have to subscribe and then doesn’t let me log in. I am already logged into the app when this happens. I called Newsday support- not helpful ; tried to report problem to developer through the Apple App Store- no place to report just a page of suggestions on general problems - not the one I’m having. Today I wanted to see the lead pipe map link inside the lead article, and got the pop up ad to subscribe. I’m in the app which I pay for every month and should have access to the links and information. I also could not write a letter to the Editor- same pop up problem.

### 3/5 — High School Scores

*2025-09-05, version 6.0.1*

The high school scores are not available on the app. Have to log onto the website to access them. What is the point?

### 1/5 — Not Working!!

*2025-07-28, version 6.0.1*

Just loads and loads and doesn’t open in OS26.

### 5/5 — Recent update is great!

*2025-07-18, version 6.0.0*

The new update with dark mode and added weather+radar is amazing! Makes a good app better, more functional, and easier to navigate.
