User reviews

Editorials are SCREAMING LIBERALS; Good Sports section

It’s hard to read their news articles because they lean so badly to the left, it’s despicable. The editors don’t care because they’re screaming liberals, and they don’t care that 50% of this country are Republican. Good sports section, though, because they keep politics out of it.

as long as you don’t throw up easily reading their libtard articles, you’ll be OK.

Good app … except for sound in ads

App works well, but autoplay ads with sound are becoming a big problem. Really need a way to automute, or I’ll have to dump the app and just read in the browser, where I can stop annoying ads.

Notification issue!

I am not getting as many Michigan football notifications anymore! Please start sending more!!

Poor content

Sports section is okay, way too politically motivated. I want local news reporting.

One star to many

Your endorsement will cost you customers.
Endorsing a candidate from the party of no free press is a disservice for your business.
