### 2/5 — John

*2025-07-10, version 135.1*

Seems since they have moved it’s been a daily struggle with getting the right story with the right video,microphones not on, teleprompters not working. Hard to watch!! Could see the frustration with the evening Weather Man not getting the right maps! Use to be way better!

### 2/5 — Print too small!

*2023-04-03, version 135.0*

Print too small.

### 2/5 — Coffia ads

*2023-03-25, version 135.0*

You play the coffia gun ads way to much so that I have to change the channel and where does she get her information? I didn’t get polled ! They lie like most democrats to promote their agenda and 9&10 doesn’t care you just want the money from selling ads 😡

### 2/5 — New App

*2023-03-06, version 135.0*

I cannot find weather on this app! This is the first time I’ve ever seen an updated app that is worse than the original. The things I use to look at in the precious app cannot be found easily and I am resorting now to using 7&4’s app for local info.

### 3/5 — New look

*2023-02-22, version 135.0*

I find that this new look is very hard to navigate. I use it primarily for school closings and can’t get into them even when I click the link they provide. Frustrating.

### 1/5 — School Closings

*2023-02-10, version 135.0*

Used to be able to click on a drop down menu and get to school closings. Still have been unable to lactated them in this new and improved app!

### 1/5 — New Website

*2023-02-08, version 135.0*

If it were possible, I would give the website changes zero stars!  
This is not user friendly!  It is not pleasing to the eyes!  Bring back the old website, please!

### 1/5 — New update

*2023-02-08, version 135.0*

Your new update is not user friendly at all…can’t even find weather and find it difficult to navigate and “save” pages I would like for further viewing. Love your entire news team, just not this app. Why oh why did you update/change your app?

### 1/5 — Out with the old

*2023-02-03, version 135.0*

Might just be Me getting used to the new app but seems cold and harder to navigate to what I want.
The old app seemed more alive and easier to interact with.

### 1/5 — New updated app is TERRIBLE!!!

*2023-02-03, version 135.0*

Hard to find anything on the newest updated app. The older app was way more user friendly and could actually find things. I have switched over to using the UpNorth Live app. I was a lifelong user of 9&10’s app and also a life long viewer. Not anymore. I won’t watch 9&10 news now, nor will I use the app. This app should have been thought about instead of just throwing a piece of junk at the users.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2023-02-01, version 135.0*

I cannot find live stream news with this newest ap.   If i have to hunt for it?  Bye bye😠

### 1/5 — New update

*2023-01-31, version 135.0*

I don’t mind the new layout but even with the instructions on getting the school closings there is no three dots on the left to tap open. It should have a link for the weather. I also miss the link to go to the live show. Still needs work.

### 1/5 — New update

*2023-01-30, version 135.0*

The new update is poor and not interactive it’s boring and there is no weather !!!! That was the best part is seeing the Doppler and the 7 day forecast . If it’s not broke don’t “fix” it !!!

### 1/5 — Horrible Update

*2023-01-30, version 135.0*

Horrible new app, no weather, just a horrible update….I just do not understand how someone thinks this is a better version than the old one… everything is missing or impossible to find… not having the weather is a deal breaker for most of us…

### 1/5 — Updated and now won’t even open

*2023-01-28, version 135.0*

Updated to the latest level for my iPhone and the app won’t even open

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-01-28, version 135.0*

Hasn’t worked since updating

### 2/5 — Missing a lot

*2023-01-27, version 135.0*

This is missing school closures and other pertinent information!! Please do not release a app half finished especially when the old app still functioned!! I appreciate the new layout it just seems incomplete!!

### 1/5 — Terrible updated app

*2023-01-26, version 135.0*

Bring back the old app. This new one is terrible. They even took the weather off of it so you to download the weather app.

### 1/5 — Partisan

*2025-10-30, version 135.2*

Not fair and balanced. Always Trump and republicans fault,never democrats. Compare how many times you’ve named Trump this year alone, to number of times you mentioned Biden.

### 1/5 — Not what it used to be

*2025-09-26, version 135.2*

Terrible app. Always outdated with the news.

### 1/5 — jD. Vance

*2024-08-25, version 135.1*

Why aren’t you reporting the arrival of him to speak Tuesday in Green township near Big Rapids. Are you just another liberal news media of soft news and backing the democratic ideas only

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-08-02, version 135.1*

Worst news app in the App Store. They rarely update the news. It is always old news.

### 1/5 — Great news station, but terrible app

*2024-01-10, version 135.1*

I absolutely do not like the app. It is not easy to navigate, and I would love for you to bring back the old app set up.

### 1/5 — Stop automatic videos!

*2023-09-28, version 135.1*

I use any other local news app before this one due to the automatic videos. Please give us an option to start the videos if we choose to.

### 1/5 — Dont like the new app

*2023-06-30, version 135.1*

Hard to use compared to other , better graphic design , news is related from 7/10 you guys had awesome awards and very professional news ,15 yrs ago , now it’s poor spelling errors and vague news, you wonder what happened

### 1/5 — Far left bias

*2023-03-23, version 135.0*

Far left bias is most unwelcome in an area that is mostly conservative. They just can’t help slipping in their opinions where they aren’t welcome. Bias in journalism is indefensible.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-02-23, version 135.0*

No weather section.  No school closings. You now have to go to your main page. Makes no sense

### 1/5 — Bring back the old app!!

*2023-02-22, version 135.0*

I can’t stand this new app format. The layout is awkward and the font is way too small. One thing I liked about the old app was the school closing page. Can’t find that on the new one. 

Downloading upnorthlive instead.

### 5/5 — Love Michigan News

*2023-09-16, version 135.1*

I have moved from Northern Michigan after living in Northern Michigan for over forty years and residing in southern Michigan before that . I enjoy hearing the Michigan news and enjoy what’s happening in the area I use to live. When living in Grayling, I would listen to the local news and enjoyed the several aspects of the area news. I am now residing in Minnesota but love checking in on the happenings in Northern Michigan. Thanks for keeping me informed about what is happening in Northern Michigan because this area will always be considered home. Marti

### 5/5 — Everyone

*2023-06-02, version 135.0*

Your news station brings a balance to information.  Your two new programs Good morning and the afternoon program makes me smile.  Balance of people working is excellent.  Finding hard to get the graham cracker recipe and don’t know what I am doing wrong on my search.  I have one of the dogs that were from Lake City and the man got 7 months in prison.  He went from Lake City to Traverse City to Boyne City.  We have renamed him BuddyJack and has brought smiles to everyone we meet.  BuddyJack rides the motorcycle with us.  Has actually rode to Benton, KY and back.He was one of the dogs that came to 9&10 News from their shelter.  God bless you all.  Your news station has brought us a lot of happiness in more ways then one.
