One star

I do not like the fact that your so liberal. I thought you would be more conservative.

Great Way To Stay On Top Of The News

I’ve been reading the Bridge and wishing for an app and it’s here! I will be reading a lot more articles and am very grateful for this lovely independent news source.

Election information

Excellent answer to the question of how to prevent double voting..

Unbiased, Thoughtful, Pertinent

I have enjoyed Bridge for about three years. The articles are well-written and well-researched. I appreciate the frequent articles about the rural areas of Michigan. The articles are fact based with no hyperbole. I respect this news source and support it.

Intelligent and informative

Thank you for posting well-written content that is not negative or sarcastic in tone.

Response from developer

Reviews are integral to our app growth. We thank you for your feedback!

An excellent source for Michigan statewide news

I have found Bridge Michigan reporting to be essential in my understanding of issues facing Michigan residents. With all the news sources available I subscribe to Bridge MI because their reporting is as accurate, precise and concise.

Thank you for your feedback! Reviews like this help promote the app to likeminded readers.

Good reading app missing a key feature

This is a good app for reading Bridge Michigan articles. The UX closely mirrors the website on both iOS and ipadOS, so the main difference is the lack of browser tabs and other browser related “noise”. Currently the app UX does not include sponsor blocks, though I suspect that will change. You can also save articles - though not sync them between devices.

The app lacks the ability to listen to audio versions of the articles and for me that demotes it from a 5 to a 4. Hopefully this feature is added in the future.

I would also recommend that the app developer double down on emphasizing a clean reading experience - currently you get bullet pointed “recommended articles” halfway through each article, these should be eliminated or kept only at the bottom of the article.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback about the audio feature. We are considering developing that in the future.

Easy access to stories

I downloaded today and find no issues. Stories and reports are well-organized by topic. The search bar had a bit of a lapse but not too bad.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We have now fixed the issue with the search function.

Great News Source

The Bridge Michigan app is my go-to source for a comprehensive overview of Michigan news.
Love the easy to use app.

Offers no value

This is just a wrapper for their web content.

No ability to enter subscriber info, so you’re looking at a huge amount of screen real estate taken up by asks for money… same as the website.

I’m quite happy to pay for their great coverage, but the site and app may drive me away.

:-(
