4.4 out of 5
horrible

lohud says you can share with your family. That does not work. So you and your partner need two subscriptions? May it never be! Search does not work either. Even $1.99 is too much for stuff that does not do what it says it does.

When will you update the app?

This use to be a decent app for local Lower Hudson Valley news. However it has been unusable for MONTHS. Crashes immediately upon loading. When are you going to update? Do I have to threaten to cancel my subscription?

Long Time Digital Subscriber

Brutal website and app - lock outs subscription paid users on subscriber only articles - then unable to login as pages freeze during login process - only wants to users to approve access to collecting personal information - nobody wants to fight with their paid for subscription app first thing in the morning in order to read the newspaper- change the name to The Hooterville Daily Express - totally bogus.

Horrible service

Never will pay for lohud when I can get everything needed through my local cable news

Selective liberal reporting

Very left wing newspaper...reports on “anti-trump” protests daily but I have never seen one mention of the violent “antifa” attacks on law-abiding Americans.
Reports on plight of “hard-working” illegal aliens getting deported but I have never seen one mention of gangs of illegals or frequent drunk driving illegal alien.
Report on the alleged illegalities of conservatives, but have never seen a mention of the vote tampering and voter fraud concocted by democrats in every election.
More fake news....cancelling my subscription

Search is terrible

I still get a paper (a dinosaur, I know), but once in a while I want to look for an article that I remember reading or forward an article to a friend. The search function simply does not work. Just today I tried searching for an article that I had in front of me and could not locate it in lohud . Nor could I find it by looking at the sections of the paper online. Maybe the only thing that shows up in lohud is the local news, not what appears in the national section. If so, they at least should make that clear.

App Constantly Crashes

I want to support & read local news. However it is extremely difficult when lohud constantly crashes/freezes and needs to be rebooted. Very frustrating!

Terrible app

First, there is no search feature. The comment link is annoyingly at the beginning of an article, so you have to scroll up to comment. You cannot share articles with Facebook groups. The so-called news is completely right wing-biased. The top news is not the important issues of the day, but more like human interest pablum.

Spotty performance

Slow loading.
Doesn’t always remember password. Have called customer service 3x in just a few weeks for their assistance. It then works, but only briefly. Too many bugs in lohud .

Useless app now

A once good app for local news is completely useless now. Only thing that loads is a blank screen. Will be deleting app ASAP!

One sided liberal agenda garbage! If you are a naive one party voter, this hack news outlet is for you. Otherwise don’t waste your time or money!

Horrible

I just wanted to read my local paper online instead of hard copy. Before I would suspend delivery for a month at a time. I wanted to suspend delivery permanently. Now I have to wade through ads and repeating stories to find certain articles. It’s terrible.

Keeping Up?

App works seems to work well though I wonder how much management reviews and updates it. One of the major sub headings is “Tappan Zee Bridge”. This bridge was replaced more than two years ago with the Cuomo Bridge.

Good info on lower Hudson valley

Overall decent info specific to local areas not covered by major outlets

Sheila Friedland

I think it’s a MUST to read the local paper. I look forward to my Journal News every morning!

Works well

I am grateful to get the updates.

LoHud rocks!

Even as the industry shrinks, this app continues to be the dominant source of local news in Westchester and Rockland counties. If you live or work here, this app is a must read every day.

Best in News!!!!

Best in news, precise and always on top of latest issues affecting our Community and Country.

Journal News

Have been checking a this app since I moved from Westchester in 2001.

All that’s fit to read

I find this app is definitely my favorite when it comes to the news, weather and obituaries

Great source for local news

My go to resource online and in print for news impacting Westchester and Rockland

Obituaries

Suddenly, Obituaries do not come in. This has been since Thursday. A notice saying the ap is being updated appears. For 5 days???

All of a sudden need to subscribe

Now all of a sudden you need to pay a subscription fee?!

Need Article Comment Link

I tried to add a comment to several articles but there are no links!

Crash crash crash (ios 11.3)

lohud crashes every minute ago ever since the 11.3 update on iphone x. Thanks guys!

Seriously...

Leave it to this app to take a poor website and make it even worse...

Most parts of the app won’t load

Every time I click on something, it says “loading problem”. If it’s not fixed soon I will cancel my subscription, as I can’t read the news.

App not working

Site won’t open

Great

All the Westchester news in one app.

Lihue

Great
