  • Too many pop-ups and ads ....

    It's ridiculous that I pay for a subscription but I'm still forced to watch 30 second ads and have pop-up ads appear almost every time I open an article or picture. One of the worst apps.
  • Absolutely infuriating

    Even though I'm signed in with a premium account, I must watch a full 30 second commercial to view every other article.
    Although less annoying, the spelling & grammar in much of the articles is frightening horrific for professional reporters.
  • Subpar Application & Newspaper

    Terrible newspaper with an even worse app. They've changed the app so you can only navigate to the latest news, sports, obituaries, and the worthless more button. I like being able to navigate to crime and city sections. Want to read about important national news? It won't happen in the Billings paper!

  • A heavily advertised and poorly constructed news app

    This app is mostly just an advertisement app with most content attempting to link the readers to some other ad. The most frustrating of ads is when the all links to the iOS App Store while reading an article. I had to delete the app and will likely not gather Billings news from the website in the future either.

  • Auto launching ads are unacceptable

    The latest update to this app made things even worse. Nearly every time you start into a new story an ad auto launches that takes it out of the app, and into the Apple App Store. If you want to show me ads, that's fine, but why on earth would you make me leave your app? Just use the regular mobile site, forget about the app.

  • One of the worst apps ever

    Not only is the reporting biased and terrible at best. This app kicks you out of the app to ads constantly. You have to restart the app completely every time this occurs. By far the worst app I've ever installed on my phone. Would not recommend at all and would suggest finding alternative news sources.

  • Useless App

    I thought this app would be a good download because it would deliver the local news to the palm of my hand. Instead, it either crashes or redirects me to the app store (even when I haven't touched the screen and therefore haven't touched an ad). Seriously useless.
  • Pop up

    I'm deleting this app because of its pop-up like adds. You can't even look at a article with an amber alert with out a pop-up like add sending you to the App Store. This app is garbage. Local news is nice but the Billings Gazette has bowed down to advertisers.
  • From 5 star to 1 star

    I had given this app a 5 star review in the past, but with the constant redirects and pop ups, it isn't worth the frustration or time to use it. Guess I'll have to get my news from the local radio or TV stations.
  • Worst app you can download

    The app used to work then they completely changed the layout, now when you open it the window maybe lasts 20 seconds before kicking you back to your home screen. Much better off reading the newspaper when it comes to your house because not only is this app frustrating but it is absolutely 100% pathetic
