HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (11 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.

Too many ads14%

★★★★★ Thanks for doing away with the banner ads.
★★★★★ Please remove the ads — if I wanted ads, I would have kept with the other news sources, so please remove the ads since I subscribe.
★★★★★ The eedition of the printed paper is better but they switched to a browser-based system where half the screen is wasted on ads and navigation bars.

★★★★★Jul 25, 2026
Works poorly

Do not work properly anymore. It will not advance through sections anymore. Displays different content in horizontal versus vertical and even thought I have a subscription there is an add bar taking up viewing space.

★★★★★Jun 26, 2026
Why I didn’t give it 5 stars

Too many grammar, spelling mistakes. When I open the paper, I don’t want to see a cockroach.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2024
app continues to be terrible

This may be what finally makes me drop my subscription. Unreadable. Update June 5: still awful. Won’t let me login in to read content. Update 10/3: same old same old. I have a digital subscription, won’t let me sign in. You have to be trying to be this bad.

★★★★★Jul 25, 2024
Most useless newspaper app

Again I have a paid subscription and I get blocked from reading articles. I have four other online newspapers I read and I am able to actually read the articles. This is a totally inadequate online digital newspaper. If I didn’t want a local news source I would just forget it. But with its present digital failures it is unreadable.

★★★★★May 11, 2024
E Edition Gone

The new Edition has buried a pdf version of a print layout but without the ability to open a complete article with a tap. After a week or so the Ap has been updated and the digital print layout version returned. Thank you!

★★★★★May 7, 2024
Obituary NOT AVAILABLE ON IPAD

the latest e paper will not show obituaries. I have the most updated app. This is ridiculous and really alienates loyal readers.
