### 1/5 — Money Hungry Now Limited even more

*2023-11-12*

Wow the limited app is now even more limited its now becoming all about money. I am not asking for the whole paper but you could have left it as it was more likely then not it resulted in a paper purchase at the store. The paper itself it so thin anymore and to see whats in there sometimes its not worth the cost Whoever made this choice to limit the app this much needs to reconsider

### 5/5 — Journalism

*2018-07-25*

For all the kids wanting to be journalists, reading the Altoona Mirror is a prime example of talented journalists. They bring the best of the best local journalists and make a top story worth reading. The app is excellent.

### 1/5 — App not working

### 3/5 — Update

*2017-08-21*

Love this app but PLEASE let's do an UPDATE!!!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-01-01*

This app crashes harder than a plane into the World Trade Center. It never works, they remove functionality, and the grammar is that of a preschooler.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2016-08-27*

Glitchy. Poor substitute for the already lacking periodical. Hasn't been updated in years. Unprofessional.

### 3/5 — Push notifications don't take you to article

*2016-05-16*

When you get a notification and touch it to read the story, it just launches the main screen of the app.  It would be much better if the notification actually took you to that specific article.
