AppReview Update in Re: Dev’s response to my initial review:
***I redownloaded this app after reading Dev’s response and learned that I can indeed review local news items as well as promotional entries without registering. The news stories mirror some local events as reported by the local fish wrap, er, ah, newspaper. Anyway, it’s only fair to admit when you’re wrong and I was mistaken — sorry. Developer, I do have a suggestion for app improvement for users like me who want to use your app on iPad with landscape display mode. Please consider adding this tweak and you may have a winner. Thanks in advance if you can do this! ************************************************************************
***Initial Review: …This app requires registration, including email. Why on earth is that required, Developer? Basically, this seems to be a community based advertising venue for local businesses to flog their wares and services with a dusting of local attractions,promotions, coupons and events — kind of what you would find in a local giveaway paper advertising tabloid (which does not require any personal info and can be used later to light a fire in one’s woodstove). I invite the developer to comment below on this review by SPECIFICALLY and fully explaining why registration and login is required and why turning over contact info to advertisers is beneficial for users — me, I don’t want anymore spam and prefer to do my own outreach to local businesses and service providers.

Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. We do not share with anybody your information. Personal information is required if you want to benefit from our features. Like getting emails or push notifications from the places you heart (select them as favorites) like alerts, news, promotions, messages, etc., if you don’t register you can still use the app to read news, see upcoming events, etc.
