1/5Horrid App
Too many issues to list. Still waiting on Town Talk to contact me.

DerikW · 7 Aug 2026
1/5Extraordinarily Touchy and Difficult to Use
I purchased a subscription to search a portion of the paper. The app and the web based browser are horrible to try to navigate. You have to go through multiple layers to find older issues and the pop up ads and overall page view are so touchy that it’s far more trouble than it’s worth. The editions section only shows itself sometimes.

1/5Awful!
I can’t access the digital edition. It says “loading”. It has been loading for days. I will be cancelling

1/5Crappy app
I’ve had this app a long time and it just keeps getting worse. Pages won’t load,articles are unreadable, cannot adjust scale or focus. That and obviously a lack of proof readers makes this one of the worse news apps I’ve seen. Waste of time.

5/5Good Job
I enjoy reading it every day
