Top reviews

This app is genuinely terrible.

No dark mode, atrocious link sharing, and unfriendly UI. Makes me want to cancel my subscription.

The most poorly coded news app of all time

Slow about sums it up.

No longer working

Wonโ€™t allow me to sign into the app. But sign in on the web works. The link to contact the app developer doesnโ€™t work either.

Love reading my hometown paper

I still feel like I never left when I can read the Springfield News Sun

Astonished

This once โ€œlocalโ€ paper has diminished in quality and personality. Typographical errors are found throughout. Late and/or no deliveries have angered many to quit receiving it.

App Shuts Down ...

It abruptly shuts down after a 10-minute or so period - have to restart and back-track to where I was to finish article ... sometimes, it shuts down again, abruptly ... follow-up: after 2 months of use, it still crashes ... cancelled my subscription, and uninstalled this app ... ๐Ÿ˜–

Shuts down always

Shuts down and kicks you off app always on certain pages. Havenโ€™t been able to see weather or comics for weeks

Ad Bar For Paid Subscribers

Like the new look, however the Ad Bar across the bottom is a real issue. Not clear if I need to purchase a separate digital subscription to remove the Ad Bar.

Be ready for advertisements

The updated version shows an ad bar across the bottom when trying to read the paper. The is true even for paid subscribers of which I am one.

Home page screen

How do I go back to the main screen after reading the paper? Always searching for the next day's paper. Can't figure out how to go back to main screen, not first page of paper. The "home button" is not available in the upper tabs.
