I am thinking seriously of cancelling my subscription. I enjoyed the former format. Please consider returning to it. ### 1/5 — Changing something that’s not broken! *2025-01-18, version 6.0.0* With the Advance changing it’s format, I am unable to get the pages fit into my tablet screen. Very frustrating. Seriously thinking of canceling my subscription. Advance representative wasn’t able to help with the problem. I would think that the administration would understand that most people don’t like change. Yet the Advance continues to change the format from time to time. Yes, I know, it’s for a better reading experience and it’s improved. Yet nothing is improved and it’s not easier for people that may be a little older. Not happy! Remember KISS! ### 1/5 — One sided *2023-12-09, version 5.0.2* The Staten Island Advance is a miniature CNN fake news and one sided , either far left or fake news altogether !!! The way they are covering the Israel Hamas war is ludicrous . No facts whatsoever. I am deleting my subscription!!! I have sent emails and spoke to several people at the paper and they obviously are caving to the left instead of reporting the truth. ### 1/5 — My View *2020-11-14, version 3.2.44* I enjoy the si advance for local business advertising and local stories But , The paper to too liberal and socialist thinking ### 1/5 — Not Worth It! *2019-10-08, version 2.9.42* App stops working after a few months. It’s a joke. No customer service support. Don’t bother wasting your time. Move on to a reliable newspaper! ### 2/5 — Old version was much better *2025-01-20, version 6.0.0* The previous version was much better to read on my computer. It was also better to skip to the section I want to read. ### 4/5 — Staten Island Advance *2020-08-07, version 3.1.80* Nice having online and up to the minute news. Would be 5 stars, however, Brian Laline ruins the paper with his dumb “Hi Neighbor” column and his liberal anti Trump bias. ### 5/5 — Puzzles *2025-08-03, version 6.1.0* Love that the puzzles are timed ### 5/5 — review *2025-02-11, version 6.0.0* I just started reading the online version and I like it very much ### 5/5 — SI Advance *2021-02-28, version 3.2.44* I love reading local news I the morning with my coffee eat paper in NYC ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mickey Bronx *2021-02-04, version 3.2.44* Excellent app for I am a native Staten islander and living in the boogie down love to keep up with my past borough 👍 ### 5/5 — Review *2021-01-02, version 3.2.44* Always satisfied with the reporting of local news. ### 5/5 — All the news when you need it *2020-07-03, version 3.1.80* This is a really great resource to find out what’s happening on Staten Island on a minute to minute basis ### 5/5 — Vincent *2020-07-02, version 3.1.80* Well improved. ### 5/5 — On time *2020-06-27, version 3.1.80* Great paper for information ### 5/5 — Thanks *2020-05-29, version 3.1.80* I spent my childhood watching my mom read the SI Advance everyday after dinner with a cup of coffee. I have turned into my mom because now I do the same. Since the pandemic began, I have been reading the newspaper digitally ( although I prefer to read the paper copy) because it is easier than spraying it up with alcohol to disinfect. I am grateful to be given the option during this time. Thanks and Keep up the great work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
