Horrible App

Difficult to navigate, have to scroll through entire enewspaper to find comics as they are not indexed. Difficult to read on phone - screen does not rotate to landscape. Slow to load eNewspaper. Do the developers or editors even use this app?

Useless customer service.

No notice of renewal. I ended up with a second account. Upgraded?? App won’t allow access to crosswords. Cannot print X -word . Still have old account that says subscription expired. Customer service cannot correct my account back to just one subscription. DUUHH !!!

DUUHH !!!

This ap is terrible!

Unless I get this working, I am out!

New Version

Filled with ads and harder to navigate. Has lost its appeal. Can’t print out Word Jumble to solve at my leisure. Will not continue when my intro subscription expires!!

Can’t rate accurately as no half star.

It WAS doing good and THEN…

After the update, I’ve uninstalled AND reinstalled the app and STILL, it tells me I’m not subscribed. I checked, I am. So, I subscribed again ! Now I’m paying $12.99 X 2 and I STILL CANNOT READ SOME ARTICLES for “subscribers only!” What IN THE WORLD!!???

Diane Knisley

I gave you a one star because I was on a trial basis with the option to keep the subscription if I wanted too! So I canceled my subscription early like 2 weeks early and the very next day my bank account was charged for full subscription price and you cannot do that..that is stealing so if your going to be a thief then you should at least be honest about it from the start! 🤨😠 not happy at all but I will say you will never get my business for any reason!

Local News . . . FAST!

Get local news fast and accurate with this app!

Newspaper with no news

One, sometimes two new articles a day. Totally lazy reporting. Hope the print edition is better than this one. Very disappointing

Same info on repeat

The content is minimal at best and it’s like dejavu every day. Same content different day. Not worth the money.

Spammers

Every since I subscribed to this app i have been getting a lot of spam to my email. Can’t opt out of newspaper emails either.

A total subscription mess

Sometimes you let me in
sometimes you don’t!

But never forget to take my money every month.

How do I unsubscribe to mess
I’ve enough of my own to deal with

Lou Boden

Why?????????

WHY……do I have to subscribe once again when I have had a account and pay monthly for this???????? Stop it I pay my subscription every month!!!!

Obits ?????

What’s going on with the obituaries. I guess no one post them anymore because the same ones have been been there best part of a month at least

Don’t waste your time, just buy a paper.

Everyone time I try to cancel my subscription, I get another charge, and I’m increasing amounts.

News reported in a timely manner.

Stories are varied. Lots of community coverage. Feel good stories that are truly needed now.

Great for local news

As one who loves Staunton but lives in Georgia, the NewsLeader keeps me up to date about what’s going on in Staunton.
