| 2024-08-06 |  | | Very often the wrong article is attached to a headline. |
| 2024-06-22 |  | | The update is horrible. The eEdition went from being easy to navigate and read to an absolute mess. I can't believe I actually paid for a subscription to this garbage |
| 2022-04-19 |  | | It is amazing The State gets scooped on local news by a small daily in Orangeburg. The mall shooting was reported in Orangeburg the day after it happened. The State took 2 days. Are you really a NEWS paper? |
| 2022-01-31 |  | | Works but no obits listings |
| 2021-12-20 |  | | I got this app (and paid for the subscription) for south carolina news. I don't care about Kansas news, so stop putting it at the top of my feed. I stopped paying for the subscription after it went up 10 dollars a month! I know journalists have to get paid, I respect that, but a 10 dollar jump? I can afford 17, I can't afford 27. The notifications are also broken. If I see an interesting headline in my notifs then can't read the story because it just takes me to the homepage, now I'm frustrated. |
| 2021-12-14 |  | | removed and reloaded app only way I could get it to work after last phone update |
| 2021-12-02 |  | | I keep having to uninstall and then install the app again. I am installing latest version but it just stops working periodically. Frustrating. |
| 2021-10-23 |  | | I have downloaded the app twice now and still cannot access the news! Do not tell me to go to the website. It is 2021 and apps are not a new thing! Come on! |
| 2021-08-06 |  | | The updated app is much more user friendly and the new options are awesome. |
| 2021-08-05 |  | | Recently improved screen controls. Thanks |
