  • Left wing

    Nothing they report is balanced. I am growing very tired of the socialist approach to solving all of the problems.
  • Web site is better

    The home page wastes one-third of its space on wasted by pictures and uses text that is needlessly large. The web site is easier to scan and navigate.
  • Disappointing

    Had expected a similar experience to reading the paper I suppose. Articles are hard to find or they don’t include in the app. Should list names of all opinion writers / columnists in order to find their articles. Stories are old news. Forced to pay for a low standard product cause there’s not a lot of choice.

  • Getting better

    Supporting local GTA news while it is still around. Glad to see the app is improving, albeit slowly, over the years
  • Notifications

    Notifications are not working on iPhone X. I have reinstalled and checked all settings. Works on my other iPhone 8. I am assuming new installs are not registering with the notifications server.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for reporting this, this has been long fixed, if you are still having issues please reach out to us!
  • Not as useful as it could be

    Please make a breaking news push notification feature for those who want it!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the suggestion, this is implemented!
  • Great addition to my daily news line-up.

    Easy navigation.
  • Utter Garbage

    As a longtime subscriber, I am utterly unable to register for the brave new electronic world this app promises. When I requested help through the app, it took over 1 MONTH to get anything other than an automated response. When I finally got a representative, he told me to use the Chrome browser. It is clear that no one in this organization has the dimmest notion of how to make their own app work. I give up.

  • Better options available

    Bait and switch. Free => register => fee

    Content not updated in timely manner. Many better apps with more content and better insight for free. Minus grammatical and spelling errors.
  • The constantly crashing app

    Becoming really frustrated re. app crashing when opening new, significant news stories on my iPad. Haven't been able to read 2 articles so far this week.
