## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No happy at all

*2020-09-04*

This app is horrible!!!!!!! Now I can’t even read the paper on line because it keeps telling me to down-load ebooks. My phone comes with ebooks so I have no idea what it’s problem is. This app is too selective & does not give you access to the entire paper!!!!! Not even the comics or ads.

### 1/5 — I'm not a fan of layout

*2017-03-16*

Not enough stories for each section & No police blotter.

### 1/5 — Covered with ads

*2015-04-19*

This is very hard to read after paying for a subscription.  The ads are very disruptive and make the paper difficult to read.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2014-04-21*

To many video adds

### 1/5 — Used to work great

*2013-10-26*

This app worked great until the last update. Now you can't read complete articles. There is only a brief article description available to read. 
There isn't even a premium option to purchase.

### 1/5 — Tired of ads

*2013-04-21*

Never has current info. Too many ads

### 2/5 — Still not great.

*2016-12-27, version 7.0.0023*

I had high hopes for this app since reading about the recent update in the local paper. However I still can't find recent articles even about items that have notifications sent. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Needs to be updated

*2013-05-24*

This isn't a bad app. It's just not updated.

### 2/5 — No search feature?

*2012-07-14*

There is no search feature.  And it still does not solve the "article not found message" when clicking a TH link from Twitter.

### 3/5 — Disappointed!

*2024-04-05*

I put my information in to get a year trial for $3. My card was charged and showing as paid from my account. The app is showing that I don’t have a subscription and am still limited to 3 articles per month. If this can’t be fixed then I would like a refund and I’ll use something else for my local news.

### 5/5 — Easy-to-use local news

*2016-02-05*

I grew up reading this paper in Montgomery County, and I'm glad I can still keep track of local news on my phone.  It does a better job than 6ABC and several others I've tried.  I noticed they recently started increasing the amount of notifications for events like fires and major road closures.  The app could use a refresher for the Retina display graphics, but it gets the job done for now.

### 5/5 — Good news app for local news!

*2014-03-09*

Good news app for local news

### 5/5 — Best App!

*2012-06-15*

Don't screw around, download this amazing app for you iphone now!

### 4/5 — Rip Off!

*2024-05-07*

I’ve signed up for 2 subscriptions and still keep getting messages that I can’t access articles unless I’m a subscriber! Please fix this!

### 4/5 — Would like less ads

*2020-08-02*

Easy to find my local news, but a lot of ads. I would like to buy a subscription that gets rid of the ads. Some news papers limit the number of free articles or get rid of ads after subscribing.

### 4/5 — Great

*2013-08-28*

Love to catch up on my local news with this app.

### 4/5 — None

*2013-01-16*

This is one of the best newspaper formatters for the iPhone that I have used, BUT it has Montgomery County PA news and California opinion pages.

### 3/5 — Reporter

*2013-12-01*

It needs to update to the latest news more frequently. Many times I see 8 hours on many items and it is the weekday during the day.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2013-02-10*

App is great for local news they just need to update it more often!!!
