Always informed in the latest news

Reader

Good source of local news but not updated enough.

Very reliable

Very few bugs. Good articles relevant to Marinites, north and south.

Keeps me up to date

Nice to see what is going on "back home." Old news stays on the feed too long but otherwise good app.

MarinIJ app

I used to like this app up until I regrettably updated it with a version that promised bug fixes but in actuality added a very annoying advertising ticker at each and every page. I have to use my finger to cover it up so I do not have an epileptic seizure. It is bright, annoying and a nuisance.

Note to developers:
Give people an option to purchase the application to eliminate the advertising ticker. I would happily pay $5 to never have to see them again.

Garbage

I wish I could give it zero stars. The Marin news never updates properly. I just logged on and could only see stories that were at least four days old!

Update needed for app

I like the ease of having local news but don't have useless sections (local jobs always says "network error") please fix or remove.
Sports isn't updated daily.
Cartoons are nice.
Content doesn't often update quickly, days old.

Search function?

Where's the Search function? How is it a news organization can launch a news-reader app and not offer a prevalently front and center search function?

I like this app

In response to some of the earlier reviews, I notice that the app now shows weather for San Rafael, which is where I am. It also functions fine on iOS 6, and it always has, at least for me.

Not ready for release

This app needed a lot more testing. More than half the time I try to use it it won't load or I get a message that an article is not available. Or it just spins. It just doesn't work well. Too buggy.
