5/5The worst app ever created by humankind
You get the same headlines three days in a row. App is not updated. I’m a paid subscriber. I am canceling my subscription. This is a horrible app supporting a horrible “newspaper”. This offering is unfathomable! Finally, if you expect push alerts to take you to the headlined story, you are mistaken. The IT people operating the news content at The State Newspaper are not paying attention, or they are incompetent. by the way, this is an ongoing problem of several years duration.

5/5Update Causes Crash
Recent update has made app unusable. Crashes every time it opens. Since you are going more and more to online paper, please continue to make the online version more user friendly. Particularly the e-edition.

2/5Can not turn off background refresh
Content is good. App is not so good. There is no obvious way to turn off background refresh. Background refresh stays on even when the global setting is turned off! This will drain your battery. If you want to check it out for yourself, go to settings, then battery, and look at the activity report. This app is always in the top 2 or 3 for battery usage. I will probably cancel my subscription when the annual renewal comes up because of this issue.

1/5Lousy App
This app crashes frequently. The news content is often several days old and no longer accurate, and you are limited in the amount of free content you can read before being asked to purchase a subscription. As a lifelong resident of Columbia, SC, and a former subscriber to The State, I still enjoy reading the publication, but only minimally slow. The State is not the publication it used to be. And here’s a news flash for The State: People don’t have to pay for news anymore.

PHN in SC · 31 Jul 2026
3/5Improve service
It would be nice when I am dealing with your staff that they would be more consumer friendly and respectful. Usually this is the top views that the bottom represent. If not then we will see change however, I have dealt with the state over 30 years and have seen no change. I have not seen an inch or sliver toward consumer friendliness or respectfulness in the past.
