### 1/5 — Hard to cancel subscription

*2025-03-12*

I tried the Trial for 3 months for a dollar then when I went to cancel the subscription. you have to call the representative waited 15 min on the phone and they keep trying to sell you the subscription. It shouldn’t be this hard to cancel the subscription. Do better! If it would have been easy to cancel I would’ve been back, but now I will not return.

### 2/5 — Glitchy!

*2025-01-14*

Very poor performance. Pages don’t load completely and freeze up.

**Developer response:** I’m sorry that you are having trouble with our app. Please email me at csc-digital-escalations@lee.net with the details of the issue and I will look into it. We want to make sure you have the best experience possible and can quickly get back to reading local news.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-03-05*

I don’t write reviews but I have to on this one. This app is horribly set up, does not function well, and only consists of teasers—you must pay to see. Problem is, I’d never pay because it fails to have relevant content. At most, I’d look at one or two stories. Most of what I really want to know I’d have to get through another news app.

### 1/5 — And the webmaster is...

*2020-07-05*

Probably someone who went to school in Idaho. Biggest problem I can see is that it runs on garbage software. That and it turns the bargain between publisher and reader on its head. Here the news exists to promote the commercials and app purchases. On REAL news sites it’s the other way around. Also, as noted in other reviews, whoever’s job it is to keep page current must be named Van Winkle, because he’s been asleep a long time

### 1/5 — NO. NEWS

*2020-06-03*

Where is the elections for around Magic Valley?

### 2/5 — Crash, crash, crash

*2017-11-12*

The title says it all. I installed it, and it crashed pretty consistently when I'd have individual news stories open. Fullscreen ads ya gotta get by, too. Needs work, DEFINITELY. I'll be uninstalling it in a few minutes. It obviously wasn't tested well enough before the app's authors released it out to the public.

### 1/5 — App needs updated

*2017-01-20*

This app needs updated to make it more user friendly.  Worst app don't download!!

### 1/5 — Let down

*2016-09-10*

Whoever is in charge of keeping this app updated needs to do their job! Local stations and other media will have big headlines, and a lot of the time this app won't even be updated. There has been a lot of times I'll click on this app because it's supposed to be a convenient way to get informed to find they don't even have anything posted about current affair. In fact most of the news that's on this app is crap.

### 1/5 — What happened??

*2016-04-27*

No more local news.

### 5/5 — Better than mobile...

*2015-12-22*

...but not perfect. It's better than paying a subscription fee but the app is bulky because of the ads. I don't mind ads. Of course that's how money is made and content is provided. However, it feels like the app freezes over the ad and while you're trying to move it a long you are forced to inadvertently click the ad.
