### 1/5 — Hardly worth it

*2025-05-31, version 8.1.0*

This newer update is not worth the time.  Many more clicks to get to the news-and then is unstable.
News is mostly pasted from other sources- obits are original.
Recently a significant school board vote in Naples concerningly the purchase of the olas Widmer land - no coverage by our local newspaper

### 1/5 — Can’t get articles

*2022-08-30, version 6.12.5*

I am a subscription holder. Was charge money but still wo t let me read articles les

### 1/5 — Subscription doesn’t work

*2022-08-24, version 6.12.5*

Lack of support, to say the least! Charged me and won’t allow me to see subscription articles still.

### 4/5 — Obits

*2021-12-03, version 6.8.1*

Why did you take out the obituaries?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-11-30, version 6.8.1*

What happened to the Print Edition App? This one is nearly useless

### 2/5 — Why change

*2021-10-03, version 6.5.9*

Why change an app that was great. Before you could read the newspaper from previous days. Now only the present edition. Awful.

### 5/5 — Great local news

*2021-09-06, version 6.5.9*

Keeps us up to date on the local news that affects our lives outside of the big cities.

### 1/5 — Why no obits

*2021-04-17, version 6.4.0*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Obituaries

*2021-01-15, version 6.3.0*

This section isn’t turned on. Been showing the same page for months and it’s not local.

### 2/5 — No obits

*2020-12-04, version 6.2.0*

Why are there no obits on the obituary page?
