The State Newspaper content is much improved. The videos are annoying. Many have ads that are longer than the video. Some just won't load.

★☆☆☆☆Ernie Corley· Jun 22, 2024
The update is horrible. The edition 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
★☆☆☆☆Richard Gleissner· Oct 9, 2019
They "updated" the e-edition. In the "update", they made it impossible to read any of the articles or view any of the special features, like the puzzles, cartoons, opinions, sports articles, etc. Thus, the e-edition is now completely unusable. There is no reason to pay money to the State News for this now worthless product. You can get all of your news elsewhere and without cost.
★☆☆☆☆Jack Herndon· Nov 26, 2020
Sucks Reaccuring billing i didn't know about you got me for 2 months I had no idea that this was reaccuring. I think that I should get fill refund period.
