Utter failure.

BrotherBrick

What used to be a quirky but useful app has been rendered almost as useless to upstate residents as Representative Stefanik is. It's poorly organized and usually crashes right after opening.

No fix?

This continues to crash upon opening and still no fix? Well guess we have no choice but to delete and move on to better apps. Don't waste your time downloading this

Get ready for spam and page redirects

Good luck reading anything on this app. If the pop up ads don't get you, within seconds your screen will be redirected to another add or App Store app. It's just a spammy pile of junk. Skip this app.

The update text of this version promoted "broad categories" with "no need to drill down through menus." I must be one of the few who like to know what section I'm in because I find the new More section too much of a hodgepodge to be readable. I'd prefer to use the individual sections (Trending/Entertainment/Life etc). This may make it easier on setting up the app--just have all feeds dump into one place--but not as helpful for this reader. Perhaps few other users realized these other sections were available and just stuck to the opening Latest section. They may not know what they're missing but I do. Also, the update text talked about "enhanced tools for managing notifications" but I don't see anything like that in Settings. Nice of you to get rid of the Premium paywall that was added not too long ago. This doesn't affect me since my husband and I are paid e-edition subscribers. He still reads it on his tablet every morning. Instead of doing that, I found it easier to view the app and the sections I liked multiple times a day. Now, I'll likely just scan the Latest section morning and night and Obituaries once a day and call it good enough. Updated: 9/11/15 App now doing phantom clickthroughs to App store as reported by others. Not worth dealing with. Deleting. Rating going down to 1 from 2.

Huge Failure

Very basic app that would be great for reading articles if it didn't redirect you to the App Store every 10 seconds to download sponsored content like draft kings. As a result, it's unusable.

You can sort of read the news...

...if you are adept at knocking down adverts coming at you like Late-80s Missile Command missiles soaring toward your base. This app started out in the beginning as a perfectly-fine way to browse local news in Queensbury NY. It has evolved into the equivalent of a big-city News and Arts rag with more display ads than content. I deleted it and just use web version. It's easier than the app, and that is counter-productive.

App closes on its own

I check this app daily. Lately, after opening it, the app shuts down before I can read anything. If I delete and reinstall, the app will work once. It is the only app that does this.

Horrible

Not only is it covered in ads but majority of the "news" is regurgitated AP bs. Very poor reporting on anything of substance and very biased.

Find another news source.

App usually has ads that open themselves. You have a mandated 30+ second video ad you have to watch before reading any story on the latest update. "News" stories are always heavily biased and random stories from halfway across the country usually outnumber local stories from this "local" news company.
