Before you could read the newspaper from previous days. Now only the present edition. Awful. ### 2/5 — No obits *2020-12-04, version 6.2.0* Why are there no obits on the obituary page? ### 2/5 — Canandaigua native *2016-07-23, version 4.19.300020218* This app is poorly updated. The obits are not updated regularly. When you click on a story to read, a unrelated story is in its place. The Daily Messenger was a great newspaper. MPN now is really lousy. Don't waste your time or money. Fingerlakes news is much better, though loaded with typos and stupid catchy headlines ### 4/5 — Messenger Post *2015-12-01, version 4.16.100014354* I enjoy reading your paper as I lived in Naples for 62 years and have many friends and family in Ontario County. I really feel fortunate to be able to be informed on the area although Central Kansas has been my home for the past 13 years. ### 2/5 — Mpn review *2015-03-30, version 4.13.0* Although the app has come along way from a few years ago I do find I few things frustrating. One is the fact that they copied news 10 with there layout. No originality makes me think twice about the people representing the news source. Second is the fact that I wanna see NEW news I cannot stand how they cannot fix a bug that doesn't allow the same head line to be repeated. It's almost like this was set up by high school kids whom try to find that annoying humor on a simple app. My only other suggestion is to be the first local news app that allows a person to look up old articles. Sometimes when I try to pull an article I haven't finished it's gone do to newer articles. ### 1/5 — Wrong links everyday *2015-03-18, version 4.8.2.0* It's unbelievable that every day there is at least one and often several links that don't go to the article they promote. It seems as though no one who works for the newspaper is checking on their app at all. ### 4/5 — Good Ap *2013-12-12, version 4.6.2.0* Easily to navigate. Works well since a fix a few months ago. ### 1/5 — Liberal Bias *2013-11-03, version 4.6.2.0* Extreme liberal bias. Over obvious that the reporters are anti-conservative and anti-republican. Too bad they are turning off so many viewers. ### 1/5 — Don't Even Bother *2013-09-19, version 4.6.0.0* Contacted the paper directly to let them know there was a problem... More than a week later, no change. Why even bother having an app if it's worthless. ### 2/5 — Rating review *2013-09-10, version 4.4.0.0* The app does not load new news on a regular basis or in a timely fashion. ### 1/5 — No news? *2013-09-05, version 4.4.0.0* Has not been updated in over two weeks?! What seems to be the problem? I was excited to find the app only to be extremely disappointed that it is not updated :( ### 3/5 — Better than nothing *2013-09-04, version 4.4.0.0* I use the app all the time to keep updated when traveling. Now it hasn't been updates for over a week. I thought it was always slow to update. Messenger keep up with the digital world or there may be no world for your future ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-11-30, version 6.8.1* What happened to the Print Edition App? This one is nearly useless ### 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. ### 1/5 — Old road *2020-11-09, version 6.2.0* What happened to the obituary section? All I found was an obituary from 77 DAYS AGO! Get back to work and fix this. No wonder some people refer to this publication as “the daily mess.” ### 1/5 — Unreal *2018-06-17, version 5.0* Better hire a new company that knows how to program a useable app. ### 1/5 — Backwater Publication *2016-12-05, version 4.21.280024476* I leave Canandaigua for winter, so put newspaper on vacation hold for 6 months, but can only peek at a few articles using APP before they slam the door shut each month or whatever. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2016-02-09, version 4.16.100014354* After update i have to to pay to read more than 5 articles a day. What a joke. The app is already littered with ads. App belongs in the trash. It is garbage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Mr Carter *2017-11-30, version 4.24.210030120* I enjoy being able to read about what is going on locally. Thank you for providing this service. I was wondering if you are going to fix the Obits segment of your app? Thanks for providing us with the local news. As always it is nice to know that you can count on MPN to get the up to date news.As I have said before it is nice to be able to keep abreast of what is taking place in your community and other towns around you. Keep up the good work I always enjoy reading the up to date news. ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-07-06, version 4.24.210030120* Great! ### 5/5 — Nice to live in a city with no obituaries! Canandaigua is truly "The Chosen Place "! *2017-05-13, version 4.22.300028029* Wonderful app - if you keep it updated. Obits have not been updated for 5 days 5/20. Started updating obits after my review. Now - not updating again. What is with this app? News is not updated either Who is updating your app? News and obits are 6 days old! Okay - now no new news and obits 10 days old! This app needs big time help! 😢 No obit updates again. Shame on you! New update nice😄 Even the obituaries are updated sort of! Is it possible to list today's obituaries today? I already know who died yesterday because I read the paper. I would like to see today's obituaries in the app before I get the paper in the afternoon 😩 ### 5/5 — My back home town *2016-03-12, version 4.17.560015365* I have enjoyed this newspaper since I was a teenager. We recently moved to Tennessee and I miss the paper. So I found your app and I love reading the news from my back home town. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Pretty good! *2014-08-14, version 4.8.2.0* Wish it contained more local news, but it def covers major local stories. ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-06-02, version 4.3.0.0* Use this App daily! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-02-13, version 1.3* This app makes it very easy to look at local scores throughout section V to keep me and my friends updated! I love it! ### 4/5 — Obits *2021-12-03, version 6.8.1* Why did you take out the obituaries? ### 4/5 — Good but can be better *2020-11-23, version 6.2.0* Please include obit. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
