It should allow you to default initially to the news page ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2020-10-27, version 5.5* Cannot scroll to an article. App will just close. ### 1/5 — Online access *2020-04-27, version 5.5* Online access as a subscriber is non existent. System crashes without allowing online access. Even with the app installed. ### 1/5 — Crappy App Crashes on opening *2018-12-31, version 5.1* I don’t know what is crappier, this app that does nothing but crash or the Standard Times print version that is not even worthy of being placed on the bottom of a bird cage. ### 4/5 — Standard *2017-04-07, version 4.22.220026406* Needs some work to become a major newspaper. Lot of the news is just the stuff that's being reported everywhere. But, living here, receiving the local news that happens in this area, quickly is cool, and worth 4 stars. I really would like more of the local news reported, daily. Thanks ### 1/5 — Nope. *2017-03-31, version 4.22.220026406* Why does this app require Bluetooth access? What on earth is it accessing on my device? I don't want to find out. DELETE!!! ### 3/5 — The Honorable *2017-02-13, version 4.21.280024491* This newspaper has been a constant disappointment for so many years. I continue to have hope though, and, continue to afford an opportunity for this group to raise their standards for delivering a quality source of media related to the region. I love the city from which I hail but I am growing weary of the ineptitude this organization continues to practice. Get it together, Standard Times, or risk losing yet another loyal resident to other resources. :0( ### 4/5 — MsDebba *2017-01-01, version 4.21.280024491* Good coverage on most stories, sends updates ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New edition. No. Std times *2023-11-05, version 7.3.3* Please stop sending your new edition, it comes zoomed and if you get it to work it goes to the bottom of the next page when you turn pages. ### 1/5 — New format terrible *2023-10-28, version 7.3.3* Impossible to bring up full page view & only will sit on only half the display area on iPad. I am leaving the old app on my phone ### 1/5 — New format is hard to use *2023-10-17, version 7.3.3* When I read the paper I like to use e-newspaper, but it continually locks up and frozen! The other format choices are not in clear understandable layouts I used to like the paper and have been a subscriber for over 30 years. And I continue to pay my subscription to read the e paper. But unless this changes and works better I will be forced to drop my subscription Brian Clarey ### 1/5 — Standard times *2023-08-26, version 7.1.2* I need this publication any longer ### 1/5 — Worst experience ever. *2023-08-12, version 7.1.2* Impossible to navigate, annoying pop up advertisements, I give up. ### 1/5 — STANDARD TIMES *2023-08-08, version 7.1.2* I’m a subscriber ( but not for long). This publication is crap. The same news stories reappear throughout the week.Sports section is the worse. The FREE app they offer online is just as good ( bad) .If you want informative, up to date news, this isn’t the publication to read. ### 1/5 — Format change. *2023-08-04, version 7.1.2* Did anyone think someone would be using a Ipad. Very difficult to use. Bring back old format. ### 1/5 — Still Sub Standard *2022-08-14, version 6.12.5* Wont be renewing. Same stories every day. Not at all like the paper publication…I used to enjoy the E PAPER. but I cant access it anymore. I will stick with the Globe. ### 1/5 — Awful Job *2021-09-07, version 6.5.9* I received the same exact email for weeks with the same headline. You have failed the Southcoast and let tabloids become the main news source. Shame. ### 1/5 — App crashes on opening again *2020-11-12, version 5.5* They updated the website yeah!! They broke the app boo!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy read *2026-05-16, version 8.10.1* Easy to navigate ### 5/5 — Easy read *2025-05-12* Easy to navigate ### 5/5 — Local newspapers are important. *2022-05-01* In a world of instant communication, it remains vitally important for local news to be reported in a timely way. The Southcoast needs a daily newspaper, and we’ve been fortunate to have had the Standard-Times for generations. Let’s keep it in business! ### 5/5 — Obituary *2021-03-19, version 6.4.0* It is not up date there are still obituaries from February and none in March. ### 5/5 — Standard-Times *2021-03-14, version 6.4.0* Obituaries ### 5/5 — Great *2017-12-19, version 4.27.850033551* Great site.

Having moved many years ago, I am finally able to keep in touch with everything that has been happening in my old stomping grounds. Accessing this newspaper is easy and free. What could be better! Thanks for making it available to anyone. ### 5/5 — An Easy Way To Keep Up With Local News *2016-10-18, version 4.20.140021819* This app is frequently updated with the latest local news as well as national news.
