Don’t Bother Downloading

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 The news articles posted were often outdated and sometimes not even local (written by AP or other national news outlets).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.

Horrible "news" app

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

Not free!

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

After the update it’s no longer free

Very disappointed

Awful

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

$25.99 a month?!

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.

Democratic

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

Cral

Fake & biased news

Won’t start up

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

Bad

Bad

Old version better.

It was suggested I update the app. Regret doing so. It’s free so can’t complain, the old version was way better, easier to read, and quick.

Doesn’t work anymore.

The app does not work anymore ever since the iOS 14 update. None of the links work. You click on a story and you get a message that “Your request cannot be processed at this time”. I have been using this app for years, and it was my go to morning read; no more. I have contacted the Post-Star numerous times, and they say there is nothing they can do. Bye bye Post Star.

Broken

The app doesn’t open articles anymore.

Does not work w/new update

I have an IPhone 6s and now I am unable to view articles now

Doesn’t work

Have a iPhone 8, at latest level and the app no longer works, will not open any articles

Stopped Working

I’ve had this app for several years and loved being able to check the news each day. As of yesterday it stopped working. I get an error message each time I try to access it.

Never reports good news about the country. Liberal paper

Good to read the local news for free, but this paper is all liberal about trump and republicans and never reports any good news about the country. Actually just as bad as fake news

Get rid of the pics

Old app was much better. The “updated” one is much less attractive and takes more time to go through. Also a bit disappointed the comments section seems to be gone or hidden. I used to get a good laugh out of that.

Headlines only

Nice big pictures and article headlines but it does not allow you to read more.

Awful “upgrade”

The newest update to the app is really awful. I don’t need the big pictures. There are less articles to view now. I can’t read or post comments anymore. Please scale it back a bit and put the comments back in.
