I like the access to local news but tend to go to the li sl tv station apps to learn more about breaking news. My big beef is the payment system. My card works fine and then they say it did not go through due to wrong expiration date. It worked well for a year and suddenly it is the wrong expiration date? The date has not changed but they did something and now I have to deal with it again.

Ads, including long, loud video pop up frequently while scrolling through or reading stories. It is obnoxious. The layout of the app is not well organized. Oftentimes stories are not updated and the same newsfeed is in the latest section for days. Most recently there are stories in multiple. Not much local news. A lot of AP stories from all over. Lacking in local content and coverage. Sometimes inappropriate ads at the bottom of the screen. Latest version with pop up ads causes the app to crash frequently.

It’s clear this app is not well supported nor do they have A-level talent (or B for that matter) working on it. It’s a shame considering local journalism will be going online more and more in coming years. As a paying subscriber, please invest in this app.

Looks like this was bad five years ago…and it still is! Very glitchy, crashes, freezes up. When we called the paper they told us it was our internet service. Just cannot imagine how internet service that can support the New York Times and the Washington Post isn’t good enough for this small town paper lol. We just cancelled our subscription.
