User reviews

Settings?

Can’t find any place to say I only want “x”. Or notify if “something important happens” Tried it about 2 years ago and removed it. Good bye again.

Junk

Old content, crashes

Lousy!. Don't waste your time!

Warning: not free. Stops loading articles after about 10 or 12 links are clicked and requests a subscription. How stupid is that? And they wonder why people are turning away from newspapers and embracing other sources of information. Also, it's Riddled with ads and has poor performance. Slow to load. Stay away. Go with a major network news app instead which is free.

Great job on sucking more

I use to use the app a lot now it works for a few days and makes you sign into a paid subscription. It won't let you read anything. Don't need local news that bad

App freezes and closes

All of a sudden this app tells me I must create a press+ login
