### 5/5 — Badger basketball

*2023-01-30*

I hope A D pays attention to the basketball team,soon.  We need new coaches as we did in football.  Since this coach started we have gone from bad to worse.  His first years were only fair as he took over when RYAN QUIT. He and staff have not not signed any player that is worth signing,

David D Foster

### 1/5 — Why Monthly Subscription?

*2022-11-06*

Just letting everyone downloading this app know that it is useless unless you plan to pay for the monthly subscription. There are free badger apps out there that are better than this one anyway.

### 5/5 — Great update

*2022-08-25*

Got upgraded to the new version of the app and it’s a great update. Love the Open Jim podcast video. Easy to watch in app.

### 1/5 — Cannot Connect to server

*2021-10-03*

I can connect to any app but I cannot connect to Madison.com. I get a message every time that “connect to server.” Everything in my home related to wifi snd internet work except when trying to connect to Madison.com. My wife can connect to Madison.com no problems. Any suggestions?

### 2/5 — Awful.

*2020-04-24*

I like the content, but the app functionality is awful. If you don’t finish reading an article it’s impossible to find again. Ads and video links often make it hard to scroll through the article without jumping to another page and losing the article.

Too bad, I love to support local journalism, but these problems just cause noise.

### 2/5 — Video doesn’t work

*2017-11-22*

I like having all the Badger content in one place, however the videos in the stories don’t work on my iPhone. It works if I go to the website. But not through the app. When selected, a video screen will open, but the video won’t load. Then when I exit the video the story goes back to the beginning of the article and I have to scroll back down to where I was originally. It forces me to go to the website for any stories with videos. Which defeats the purpose of the app. Fix this and I give it 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Poor app

*2017-07-31*

At the very least this site should feature an easily accessible schedule for fball and bball games. Why not?

Love Oates' columns but not much else.

### 1/5 — App doesn't stay open

*2016-12-29*

On I phone

### 1/5 — Lose the pop ups

*2016-12-06*

Lose the pop ups, they are very annoying! Lose them or lose me.

### 2/5 — Ugh

*2016-10-22*

It started rebooting and now won't open!!! Love it when it work. I am tired of the videos that keep popping up!!!!! Grrrr
