Good content, rediculous advertising
I'd expect a company I support financially to support me by removing the annoying advertising. While somewhat annoying for some, I'm a blind user who depends on screen reading technology. The ads interrupt my reading experience and often place me on the entirely wrong spot on the page when they change. I would give them an A for content, but an f- in terms of delivery. Ive already canceled my renewal of the subscription, since it's such a pain to use. Please do better so I can renew!Show lesskc8pnl
Accessibility issues which are now legal challenges under title II of the ADA
The ads hinder the reading experience for blind and DeafBlind users. Many buttons aren't labeled appropriately, just to name one thing. Apple has many resources available for developers on how to make their apps work with accessibility options for those with disabilities, but clearly mLive has no interest in supporting these users who also have money they could spend on "premium content". Most importantly to everyone is that paying for a premium subscription will not remove the ads. You are only paying for the articles they feel are premium-worthy. I understand ads generate revenue, but what about the revenue generated from someone supporting you financially? Could you consider supporting them by removing this junk? Especially since I can't get the content I've paid for?Show lessyou can't remove ads for subscribers, really?
While I appreciate that Michigan has a news app, I don't appreciate having to deal with the same advertising as a free user. I purchased a yearly subscription thinking it would get rid of these and it's ok I guess, since I purchased it at a discount, but have already canceled my subscription so it will not renew. Quite disappointing, especially since as a VoiceOver screenreader user the ads take me away from what I'm reading sometimes. fine for free, but NOT if I'm supporting you. Shouldn't the same favor be returned to me? Shouldn't I be able to access the content I paid for ad-free? Nice coverage, craptastic implementation of the app complete with accessibility issues.Show less
