It says “loading”. It has been loading for days. I will be cancelling ### 1/5 — Extraordinarily Touchy and Difficult to Use *2024-05-14, version 7.9.1* I purchased a subscription to search a portion of the paper. The app and the web based browser are horrible to try to navigate. You have to go through multiple layers to find older issues and the pop up ads and overall page view are so touchy that it’s far more trouble than it’s worth. The editions section only shows itself sometimes. ### 1/5 — Horrid App *2023-09-02, version 7.1.2* Too many issues to list. Still waiting on Town Talk to contact me. ### 1/5 — Quit working completely. *2023-02-12, version 7.0.3* Loads very briefly, then crashes. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful app. *2021-08-02, version 6.5.9* From a 48 year subscriber... Why can’t I just read each page of the paper? August 2, 2021 I second the above question. If there is anything in this publication other than the obituaries it is unavailable on line. All I can do is scroll down through a handful of stories, mostly sports, on the opening screen, then the screen bounces back to the point it initially opened. Forget reading the paper front to back, page by page. Not possible. I wasted two hours one day talking to whatever passes for tech support trying to get help, and got no improvement. I have quit wasting time trying to learn anything from this paper, other than who has died.

Pages won’t load,articles are unreadable, cannot adjust scale or focus. That and obviously a lack of proof readers makes this one of the worse news apps I’ve seen. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — No article sorting options *2014-09-29, version 2.0.3* This is supposed to be my digital newspaper. Therefore I should be able to open up this app each day and see the news articles for that day. Instead, I see whatever article is supposedly trending, which currently is an article 6 days old. And there is no option to sort articles newest to oldest. So to see the latest news articles, I must scroll through a bunch of jumbled up articles and hope I happen to stumble across all of today's news. That's a complete failure in my opinion. Would rate this app negative if it was possible. ### 1/5 — TT app *2012-08-24, version 1.1.1* I did the update last week😒. It worked great before the update. I too did like it better than KALB's app. But since the update it won't let me log in or anything 😔. I wouldn't even give 1 star but it makes me rate it. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2012-06-26, version 1.0.1* It was not very easy to get started ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gregory *2020-07-21, version 5.25.1* Great app!! ### 5/5 — Good Job *2019-11-25, version 5.21.3* I enjoy reading it every day ### 5/5 — Convenient *2016-10-28, version 4.5.0* Like that I can get updated news all day ### 5/5 — This is my main source of news *2016-06-11, version 4.0.5* Great App. Very few bugs and updated frequently. ### 5/5 — Great app for Cenla news *2014-03-28, version 1.1.2* Nice basic news app to read content from The Town Talk. Easy to use. I like the weather details and the national sports scores. Overall, prefer this over KALB app. ### 4/5 — Up to date *2015-07-11, version 2.5.7* It keeps me up to date with events even if I haven't watched the local news. ### 3/5 — The TownTalk *2014-11-27, version 2.0.3* No longer works with iPhone new update ### 2/5 — Improving *2016-06-26, version 4.0.5* Organization good, good white space, crashes often viewing obits on ipad2 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
