### 4/5 — Great Paper for News

*2022-01-06, version 3.3.13*

Love reading your paper….keeps me up to date!  Thanks
Tony

### 3/5 — Stuart news on line

*2021-08-19, version 3.3.13*

This is very rewarding as I’ve been traveling and like to keep up with local news. 
The whole paper is available just as if I were at home with it spread out on the dining room table. 
Thanks!

### 4/5 — Don’t waste your money on this app.

*2021-06-22, version 3.3.13*

This app continues to crash and slow filling in copy and photos. You cannot contact anyone in the states to help, everything goes through the Philippines. If you call the paper you are transferee to the Philippines. TCPalm is owned by USA Today and they don’t care, don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Lousy app

*2019-12-06, version 2.9.10*

It freezes up, out of focus. Sometimes it works ok, then stops. Most of the time I just give up & go read something else. I’ve complained to them several times, they said to delete it & reload it,still doesn’t work right

### 1/5 — Why bother ?

*2019-08-05, version 2.9.10*

I travel frequently and like to read the Stuart News while away. There are minor inconveniences associated with obtaining an electronic issue, but when I’m in Europe, it is virtually impossible to obtain other than what seems to be random articles. Features, sports, and comics are nonexistent. I see that another reviewer made similar comment more than a year ago yet apparently nothing was done to rectify the problem. I don’t even bother an attempt anymore as it has become time wasting.

### 1/5 — Terrible Focus

*2018-12-15, version 2.9.10*

This app has gotten even worse since USA Today purchased the newspaper.  Between the local news and USA Today inserts, its impossible to focus on the print.  For one of the most expensive home delivered newspapers, the quality is ridiculous.

### 2/5 — What a terrible app from a poorly managed paper

*2018-07-08, version 2.6.87*

This app opens slowly, navigates slowly and in general is difficult to use if you are actually in Stuart.  If you travel to Europe or Scandinavia (where I am now) it sends only a small selection of TC PALM articles not the actual newspaper.  Note: to editor... come out of the dark ages... if you want subscribers to support your paper make the paper available.  This is 2018, not 1918.

### 1/5 — Only as good as the newspaper behind it-BROKEN

*2015-10-12, version 2.5.70*

Made the mistake of going digital. Had been a customer for over 30 years. Had to download this app to gain access. They have no record of me being a customer, rendering this app USELESS as no access code could be given to a non customer. GOODBYE TC PALM/STUART NEWS.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2015-04-24, version 2.4.4*

While this is a free app to download, all of the content costs money. There is nothing in this app you can do without paying them for a subscription. Apparently, they are using the outdated model of charging this subscriber instead of generating revenue through advertisements. It is misleading that this is a free app when, in reality, you have to pay for everything.

### 1/5 — Very unreliable.

*2013-06-30, version 2.4.4*

Does not load properly most of the time

### 1/5 — Very Buggy

*2013-06-22, version 2.4.4*

For the iPad this is a beta version at best. There are many days the current version won't download until later in the day. Sometimes you may not get your regional newspaper downloaded, but rather someone elses. The "articles" selection in the app is completely unreadable. All of these problems have been going on consistently for almost a year with very little attention being paid to them.

### 1/5 — What’s Wrong?

*2023-04-15*

The app won’t open today.  What’s going on?

### 1/5 — useless

*2021-04-18, version 2.9.10*

i can’t believe they have the gall to charge for this unstable worthless garbage.

### 1/5 — Awful!!!!

*2021-01-24, version 2.9.10*

I’ve tried everything including deleting and reinstalling this app. It crashes, content just disappears and it’s generally just unusable. 
I like to read the local news each morning and end up thoroughly frustrated!

### 1/5 — Very buggy

*2020-11-11, version 2.9.10*

Please fix this.  Much too buggy. This app hasn't been updated in years.  As a result even new iPad Pros often crash.

Gannet and USA Today should be embarrassed.

### 1/5 — Dropped Again

*2020-11-08, version 2.9.10*

Due to continued price hikes without notification, I switched to online only subscription. In past it worked well. Now with so many dropping the paper delivery, the app appears to be downgraded.
It does not seem to really download. It freezes. It goes blank. It is a chore to read the full paper without multiple reboots. It is impossible to read when traveling on the road or air.
I have attempted to delete app and  hopefully download a new update version of app. Doesn’t help. I may finally Drop my subscription.

### 1/5 — Constant freezing and crashing

*2020-11-02, version 2.9.10*

Please fix.  Cannot get thru a section without freezing and/or crashing.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-11-01, version 2.9.10*

App crashes constantly with iPadOS14.  The app has not been updated for two years now.  I won't keep my subscription if this continues.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-11-01, version 2.9.10*

The e edition is full of typos and the app keeps on freezing up.  To add insult to injury the Stuart News sent out an email blast bragging about their focus on good customer service. My guess is that their web site is underpowered for the number of subscribers it has. This Stuart News is definitely a second rate newspaper company.  

Update August 2020. App is locking up agIn every day. I deleted the app, reinstalled it, and it still froze.

Update October 2020. Still terrible. It still locks up, I again deleted the app and reloaded it. It froze agin the first time I used it. The app writers are just as incompetent as the biased reporters for this awful paper. 

Update November 2020. App locks up every day. They should fire the incompetent people responsible for the E edition and hire someone who knows what they are doing.

### 1/5 — Bugs need to be addressed!

*2020-02-12, version 2.9.10*

App has been freezing more and more frequently over the last several weeks...after just renewing my subscription I find this totally frustrating...

### 1/5 — Worst

*2019-12-22, version 2.9.10*

This app is a piece of crap, freezes up ,won’t load,have to sign in every time. Don’t bother with it

### 5/5 — Fantastic App!

*2015-09-27, version 2.5.70*

This app is amazing! It is designed such that it feels like you are actually reading the physical newspaper. You can select articles you are interested in and expand them so they are larger and easier to read. You can even zoom in on the comics! The Sunday paper is especially fun to read. Thank you for a job well done!!
