5/5Local news is vital to democracy
In a world that seems ostensibly to descend into black and white partisanship, it is vitally important to inform oneself about local issues and learn about the nuances of one’s community. Individual voices and local issues are far more important than big nationalized agendas in helping me inform my political and civic opinions. My Citizen Times subscription helps me do that.

2/5‘Top News Fan’ lock?
I was loving the app - such an easy way to check the local news and get breaking news stories. Then a week or so ago, my app ‘locked up’ with a screen that says something like “You seem like top news fan” with an offer to send ‘top news’ alerts to my phone. I couldn’t just click off of it and return to the news so I clicked it. Then I got inundated with news alerts. Quickly sick of it, I went to mt settings and reduced the number of alerts. Now, the lock up screen presents after I read one story EVERY TIME I USE THE APP. Because there’s no way to decline, I end up shutting down the app and starting it again. Again and again if I choose to keep reading the paper. I enjoy the newspaper and I used to enjoy the app…..but this is getting ridiculous.

1/5Quality News with a Scam Subscription
Citizen Times offers quality local news so we tried a sale on the subscription. Fast forward a couple months, and we got no email warning or notification the sale trial was ending before being charged the full monthly amount for a month or two before noticing. They do not allow cancellations to be done in your account settings on the app or website, instead forcing you to call or chat with someone online. When you tell them you want to cancel they put you through a whole rigamarole before actually letting you cancel. No one likes feeling like taken advantage of, and that is what subscribing to Citizen Times feels like. I feel bad for those who are susceptible to these practices. If you use this app, beware of subscribing.

1/5Take for puzzles and coupons
Hate the new format, paper not worth reading on line, and the puzzle section you almost need a magnifying glass and print size microscopic,not to mention duplicate stories on different pages and news 18 hours after it was news, sports sections a day old. No Saturday or holiday delivery , and yet another price increase subsequently. Coupons make it almost free however, however, but also dislike the new bridge columns and crossword. Previous ones were more to our liking. Almost impossible to follow train of thought to hold for vacation, so we call. Make it easier!!!

2/5App slowed down to unusable speed
Love getting high quality, local news, but the app has slowed down so much I cannot access my subscription. For over a week, when I try to open the app directly or from my widget to read a specific article, the app just loads and loads without getting to the story. Eventually, it will get there, but usually after the minute or so I had planned to read the full article. I hope the app is fixed to make the good content available again.

For over a week, when I try to open the app directly or from my widget to read a specific article, the app just loads and loads without getting to the story. Eventually, it will get there, but usually after the minute or so I had planned to read the full article. I hope the app is fixed to make the good content available again.",
