Representation Matters!
I Love Seeing stories highlighting people of color in a positive light.
Should be free
The app gets old news should be free. There’s really nothing too interesting on here on so many other news apps are free like the post.
Good Young Journalists
Sometimes, I read stories that show these journalists are trying to make a difference with their well-honed skills. I would like to see the editors give their journalists assignments that will benefit the community because that’s when their talents shine. When the journalists are assigned to write inane stories, their justifiable lack of passion comes through.
Tom Wroblieski has an opinion on everything.
Someone seems to think that Wroblieski is an all knowing expert on all things. Enough with this egomaniac and his never ending opinions.
Why 3 stars
The search feature is weak.
Great news but there’s one thing
I love your guys stories but there’s a bug on the mobile app. You can’t scroll through multiple photos in an article without it closing and bringing you to the beginning of the the set of pictures. It’s especially inconvenient when there’s 10+ photos. Thanks everyone
Si live
Why lock the articles? Make them all free, raise advertising rates, charge people for home delivery. Review the economics of the above and I’m sure you will come out even. Give the people what they want
How long before the Advance goes under ?
What a shame . This paper use to be a must read for Staten Islanders . Now it has become so Liberal / Progressive it has been lumped in as “ Fake News “ by most Islanders ! They have turned it into a tabloid replete with adds !
It’s okay
It’s good for quick news but half the time you can find the articles that come from the “pop up” notices.
Improvements needed
Your iPhone app frequently freezes, making your site useless. I have a brand new phone and latest app version. Secondly, without the comments section, your site is frustrating to me. There are way too many inaccuracies that I’m not able to comment on. And there is no point in reading your editorials and letters to the editor if I cannot comment. Your exclusive articles are ridiculous. I will never pay without the ability to comment on articles when I can do that almost everywhere else for free.
General
Fees? Your news should be FREE ONLINE. I’m sure I’m not the only one saying this! I don’t expect columns or op-ed, but NEWS in encapsulated form should be free. Raise your hard copy price to off set.
App crashes
App crashes sometimes
Moved
Good to be able to read about SI since I am now in NJ
What is going on SIA?
As a former employee of SIA in the mid 1970’s, now living in TX, it has really been a downhill experience in keeping up with my hometown! Not everyone can afford to subscribe. I really miss seeing what I am missing back •home•.
Sam Birowsku Sr.
This is an excellent way to get a consise and timely update on news and happenings in and around Staten Island!!!
App not working
App has been crashing for the last 2 days
Fantastic paper
They bring you top news and great stories time and time again. Great hometown news.
Worst news app
I wish I could give them 0 stars. Worst news app. Traitors to Staten Island residents and money hungry. Don’t waste your time.
Terrific -
Always alerts are immediately alerts in areas of Staten Island
Where to start?
The app is buggy. It freezes often. When you receive a notification of a story, it often takes you to another story. The news seems to lean far left, and not balanced. Also, the stories seem to push the agenda of friends and companies who pay the paper off by posting fictional stories. Lots of errors, that go up without proofreading. Comment section unavailable. Most Story notifications require payment for the app(the stories come up free with a quick Google). Lots of spam ads. Repetitive headlines- best pizza- best donuts- best way to get fat etc. Beginner news outfit app with clickbait galore.
Soccer coaches
Nice coverage of Island news. Attention should be directed to grammatical issues to support the veracity of your reporting.
Garbage App and App worker Notifier
The only person that spams Notification 3-7 times everyday in ONE week. No Giant company does that. Weird how there was Zero notifications the 2 days I had the app downloaded. Not sure if the person is trying their very best to get a RAISE. Must be toxic working field to go hyper gas lighting like a narcissist on notification Be careful. There is a abusive 9-5 person trying hard for raise
Excellent coverage of Staten Island news.
A real treasure!
Horrible
Ruined this app ! Its horrible and glitchy and all subscription adds
Always in the Know....
I’m always aware of what’s happening around the borough with SI ADVANCE NEWS!! Thanks for the coverage!
Horrible App!!
This is probably one of the worst news apps available. Want to read a story - click on the link and wait about 30-60 seconds for the story to load - and that’s if it doesn’t eventually crash. Numerous spelling and grammar mistakes in the news stories. Don't waste your time with this ap or this paper. Giving it one star because it won’t let me give zero.
