Argus Leader Reviews

Installed ArgusLeader on my new phone and left default settings in place. Checked the news on home WiFi then put phone away and drove to work. Came to find out that ArgusLeader chewed up 11GB during the brief time between home and work WiFi. Now I have a big overage charge. Not immediately clear that setting “hands free update” to “never” is how to turn off data use. Why does a news app need to send that much data anyway if not for unnecessarily needy ads.

Love ArgusLeader it does what it’s supposed to do. Informs about local news, weather, sports , and events. Highly recommend for anyone interested in their local community.

I had assumed that with a subscription to the Argus Leader I would have access to a usable app. That’s not the case. Other than news and sports, the other sections are populated with articles that are anywhere from 130 days to 5 YEARS old! I can easily get the news I need from tv and radio websites without paying for a subscription.

It makes it esker to read.

This poor pathetic left wing rag is being flushed down the toilet! Gannet is failing miserably. They know why, but they don’t care! No one likes their inaccurate and slanted news! Editorial board is a joke! ArgusLeader used to be free. Of course the only thing they cover that is worth reading about is the local sports. Now all of a sudden they expect locals to pony up to read their crap??? Ha! Ha! Ha! Can’t wait till that go out of business!!

I'm a headline reader. Good headlines draw me in for more. Because it's mostly headlines and I don't have much time, ArgusLeader is fine for me. Must say, though, that some days are all sports. And sometimes the same stories are on there for a week. Come on, guys. You can do better than that. Keep trying!

The USA Today section is disturbing to me with it’s totally one-sided reporting which is never what a newspaper was meant to be. If the Argus Leader doesn’t disentangle itself from the USA Today I will probably be forced to cancel my subscription after all these decades.

I’m from Sioux Falls and there’s no better news articles than THE ARGUS! 10/10

Much improved over last year

I’m biased, but this is a great app if you’re in the market for the latest, best and most important news about Sioux Falls and South Dakota.

So far ArgusLeader has done its job. No complaints.

App frequently posts news articles from other gannet owned local newspapers. Not much effort goes into writing these articles. Look elsewhere.

Pretty lame you get ads even with a subscription

ArgusLeader is missing the cartoons and the Jumble. If they aren’t going to support the “Argus Leader Print Edition” they should transfer this content to the new app.

When I pulled up ArgusLeader, I thought I was getting my subscription.

Why do we have to go through a LONG sign in process every few times we open ArgusLeader? After all, we are digital subscribers.

I subscribed some time ago. Yet the site keeps asking if I want to subscribe and that I only have a limited amount of articles left.
I am about ready to cancel.

Multiple media sources to view the same articles and they don’t charge you to see the article. So dumb.

Won’t let me cancel subscription

Good luck.

Horrible!

Best news coverage in SD.

Accessibility has been improved a bit, but, by and large, users who are blind or have significant visual impairment still cannot fully and consistently acces! ArgusLeader. The developer really should contact me or some other screen reader user and make major improvements to ArgusLeader. It is the only way some of us read the paper, and, right now, I am thinking about voting with my money and giving up my subscription. THIS COULD
BE IMPROVED.

With travel being a requirement of my job, I get everything local and more. With ArgusLeader I'm always getting alerts and breaking news. Even when I'm home I find myself using it constantly even with home delivery.

After living and working in Sioux Falls throughout the 90's early 2000's. I enjoy keeping in sync with the news and happenings of the area. ArgusLeader is good with allowing non subscribers with access to the Headlines.

I like the updates i receive of breaking news, and I enjoy having a mobile access to my local news. Easy to navigate. Good App!

When I click on my notice I get redirected to update my current version, but there is no update. I just need to open through ArgusLeader updates. This makes the news notice worthless because I'm redirected to the front page and not the story.

Many stories show up as blank pages when you click on them. I have tried troubleshooting the issue but cannot find anything wrong with my iPad that would cause this. Since I am unable to read half the stories, ArgusLeader is useless. I also subscribe to the this app and was expecting an app free of advertising but it is not.

I don't like this application. It does not have today's news. Moreover, someone has already edited and given you only part of the newspaper. It's awkward and time consuming and then does not get you where you want to go. It's garbage. I hope that if you have no other recourse that you don't also have to pay for this insult that chooses what you read. PJamesEckhoff
