HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (9.8 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription25%

★★★★★ I loyally followed along when we went digital, at least the costs were more aligned with what I was paying for other subscriptions.
★★★★★ I've decided to not renew my e subscription due to my frustration level with the clustered never ending ads, the ads that invade the center of an article during reading and page interruptions where the screen reboots…
★★★★★ Barely worth taking the trouble to cancel
Worse after an update15%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I will update this review if they can release a patch or minor version that gets rid of this issue, because otherwise, the app worked rather well.
★★★★★ Difficult to read paper in e-edition since recent update added banner ad near bottom of screen.
★★★★★ UPDATE: it's worse than ever.
Bugs, things not working14%

17 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Somehow now digital stopped working.
★★★★★ The app is often unusable. I open articles and they automatically close back to the Home tab, sometimes immediately and sometimes after several seconds. I reopen the article and hope that I'll be able to read some…
★★★★★ Navigating the app to find news is nearly impossible. Unless it is one of the four stories on the page, you can't select a subsection like local or sports. The app will temporarily go to the subsection but…
Crashes and freezes11%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Doesn't load, bottom half of page is covered with an ad.
★★★★★ Love the content of the paper but the app, in its current form, crashes each time I try to open an article
★★★★★ App is ok for local news, hard to find articles a few days later. Very basic functionality.
Too many ads11%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've decided to not renew my e subscription due to my frustration level with the clustered never ending ads, the ads that invade the center of an article during reading and page interruptions where the screen reboots…
★★★★★ It may or may not have something to do when the final elements of the page loads in (aka ads), but it's basically made the app unusable.
★★★★★ So despite the fact that the paper is already full of ads, and every expanded view of a story has multiple ads throughout they still feel the need to have a banner ad along the bottom of the screen.
Login and account problems9%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Although I have called several times it continues to be a struggle to sign in to my statesman account.
★★★★★ Unable to log in and stay logged in.
★★★★★ It also keeps asking me to sign in over and over 😡
Limits, credits, locked features7%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Every month I get locked out.
★★★★★ I understand the financial difficulties the print news industry is undergoing, but the recent decision to limit the number of articles that can be read in a month, within an app, makes it useless.
★★★★★ Have to pay to read anything.
Lost data, sync, backup6%

★★★★★ When I was a kid back in the day everyone had the statesman and it was a great form of news for resource for the state of Idaho. now they are so socialist and have even condemned people who hold religious beliefs. They…
★★★★★ I have enjoyed getting my local news through the app during the past two years of living in Idaho; however, now that the institution has made the decision limiting the number of articles that can be read each month I…
★★★★★ Native rotation gone and you can't read full comments without going to a new screen where the font size is about a 2pt.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Idaho needs more conservative news station. 1★, Apr 27, 2025
  • So despite the fact that the paper is already full of ads, and every expanded view of a story has multiple ads throughout they still feel the need to have a banner ad along the bottom of the screen. 1★, Feb 25, 2021
  • No need to have this app any more as they charge to read the news. 1★, Jun 6, 2020
  • Maybe a better way would be to have all the local news in the front page and initial section and put the national and other news in the EXTRA section. 2★, Dec 31, 2019
  • I don't need a media site. 1★, May 1, 2017

Logging in

I find it difficult to log in to read the Idaho Statesman. Ingrid Brudenell is the subscriber and has approved me to share her subscription.

★★★★★Aug 7, 2026
Biased

Biased paper

★★★★★Jun 9, 2026
The game section swipes left too easily

When I play some of the games, it’s too easy to accidentally swipe back to the menu, sometimes even from the middle of the screen. I’m not even sure why one needs to swipe backwards from a game. Seems like the back button in the top left is sufficient.

★★★★★Apr 30, 2026
Not so accessible

I have been reading the Statesman since University Days. First saved by my parents and delivered as a care package while I served overseas, then delivered to my front door when I came home. Later to my mailbox. Rates kept inching up, although the overall quality did not. I loyally followed along when we went digital, at least the costs were more aligned with what I was paying for other subscriptions. Somehow now digital stopped working. The song and Dance I got when queried was I needed to upgrade my iPad to series 17 (whatever that means). Now to access my “paper” I can use my phone (kind of like viewing the world through a tiny periscope). Or go through a multi step process to access the subscription on my iPad. A painful daily exercise that may not be worth the effort. Gotta say I am getting too old to enjoy the new fangled digital age. I hope I am still around when subscription renewal comes along next year. I am not sure I can suffer the foolishness of newspaper access gladly.

★★★★★Apr 9, 2026
Poor format

This paper is probably the most poorly formatted and inconsistently performing e-edition paper I’ve ever encountered. I’ve decided to not renew my e subscription due to my frustration level with the clustered never ending ads, the ads that invade the center of an article during reading and page interruptions where the screen reboots mid read. The response team’s recommendations did not resolve the issue. No need to respond. We will not be renewing subscription.

★★★★★Apr 5, 2026
Statesman is OK but limited

I read the Statesman for local news and local editorials, which are pretty good. NY Times for serious news and commentary.
