This Went Downhill Fast

Performance Enhancements? Stop the slutty ads. I hadn’t opened the app in a very long time but I just did and I couldn’t believe how many slutty ads there are. I don’t remember ever seeing slutty ads in this app before. I’m glad I didn’t bother to subscribe. I’m going to be deleting this as soon as I can. This world is truly going to the gutter. And it’s getting worse every day. It’s not something I want to see. Good Bye forever.

Worst news app

I wish I could give them 0 stars. Worst news app. Traitors to Staten Island residents and money hungry. Don’t waste your time.

Where to start?

The app is buggy. It freezes often. When you receive a notification of a story, it often takes you to another story. The news seems to lean far left, and not balanced. Also, the stories seem to push the agenda of friends and companies who pay the paper off by posting fictional stories. Lots of errors, that go up without proofreading. Comment section unavailable. Most Story notifications require payment for the app(the stories come up free with a quick Google). Lots of spam ads. Repetitive headlines- best pizza- best donuts- best way to get fat etc. Beginner news outfit app with clickbait galore.
