### 1/5 — Don’t Bother Downloading

*2026-01-29, version 9.19.3*

Unless you’re paying $24.99/month for a subscription, you can’t view anything. The news articles posted were often outdated and sometimes not even local (written by AP or other national news outlets). Now, without the subscription, you can’t even view obituaries, which are paid for by the families of the deceased.
If you want actual local news that is free to the Glens Falls Community, check out the Glens Falls Chronicle. Better reporting from actual local journalists on local news for free!! Bye Post-Star.

### 1/5 — Horrible "news" app

*2022-04-20*

Suddenly, and without warning, I can't read any articles unless I pay $25/month?  Honestly, before this change the articles were rarely updated, headlines would stay the same for 3 days, pop up ads were beyond annoying and it was consistently glitchy.  If you want good local news do yourself a favor and go the The Chronicle

**Developer response:** I apologize for any frustration please feel free to right a letter to the Editor to address your concerns. Also, I apologize for the any technical issue you may be having. Please contact 1-877-589-5944 to verify you are signed up for full digital access.

### 1/5 — Not free!

*2022-03-29*

Caution…..this in not a free app…..and while it’s pretty good it’s not worth $25+ a month.  Arrogant

### 1/5 — After the update it’s no longer free

*2022-03-28*

Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-03-15*

They now want 25 dollars a month to read local news. Don’t waste your money!

### 1/5 — $25.99 a month?!

*2022-03-14, version 8.13.5*

Was absolutely fine with watching dads or all the pop-ups. But the fact that I now would have to pay $25.99 a month, is absolutely ridiculous. Time to delete this app after years of having it. Sorry I won’t be able to keep up with news in my hometown, but that is just an astronomical price.

### 1/5 — Democratic

*2022-03-06*

Very one sided as far as politics go which no surprise but the rest of it is ok use to be free now they want $26 a month

### 1/5 — Cral

*2021-11-18, version 8.11*

Fake & biased news

### 1/5 — Won’t start up

*2021-04-28*

App won’t even start. Error message keeps popping up.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-02-13, version 8.9*

Bad
