### 5/5 — Sam’s the man

*2021-09-27, version 8.11*

The best Husker articles out there. All free and convenient. Apparently they made people mad 3 years ago trying to get paid for their work but it’s free now and awesome.

### 1/5 — Unusable!

*2021-06-29, version 8.11*

This app could be ok if it even stayed open. Don’t waste any energy on downloading this unsupported garbage app. Starved for Husker info and this isn’t the place to get it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-09-21, version 4.0*

After last up date app only contains news stories. No longer able to see roster, schedule, scores or live updates. This app is now worthless to me.

### 1/5 — No Value

*2019-09-14, version 4.0*

Since you’ve removed all the valuable information, rosters, schedule, stats, and live play, there’s no useful information that I can’t get elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-08-29, version 4.0*

Previous versions of this app worked in landscape mode, presented information in a clear fashion, included game schedules. This version does none of that and it uses in really disruptive ads. I would be pleased to pay for a better quality app and I would continue to pay my subscription.

### 1/5 — Not paying

*2019-08-25, version 4.0*

Not going to pay for something that I will only read 10% of the time.

### 1/5 — Last update was 3 years ago

*2018-11-30, version 3.0.9*

Annoyed that I have to re-enter my credentials every few weeks. Even more annoyed that it was last updated 3 years ago.  We are expected to pay for a subscription for the content but then they don’t support the app.

### 4/5 — Wyohusker

*2018-06-12, version 3.0.9*

Wanted more! But don’t we all?  GBR/Cowboys!!!

### 1/5 — No money

*2018-03-28, version 3.0.9*

Don't waste ur money after 5 articles you gotta pay 
Other free apps same info
Was good til they demand pay

### 1/5 — Expensive for a 2007-like app experience

*2018-02-19, version 3.0.9*

I used this app for four years when I moved out of the state of Nebraska to keep up with the Huskers. Now they want to charge money to view the content. The videos and links NEVER worked on the app, but it was free so I put up with it. Now you have to pay to subscribe with no upgrades or changes  -that equals-  a delete and the use of the ‘Husker Extra’ app from the Lincoln Journal Star.
