Confusing..too many buttons, unclear explanations, if any.

I’m a New subscriber .. but this isn’t a user friendly app unless you already know all the secret handshakes. When looking for something specific, (opinion page) you may or may not be able to find it. Thereis no reason for this except lack of clear organization on their end. The opinion section doesn’t even appear to even be inthe notifications choices. Why not? That’s not a hard thing to add. I’ve submitted feedback twice already, not even an acknowledgement. I submitted a letter to the editor on aug 1st. Again, no acknowledgement they ever received it, let alone a status notification that they will ever print it or any reasons that they won’t. This paper clearly doesn’t care about the individual subscribers questions. Definately not worth the price. A month or two ago, I thought I had cancelled this but my cc got charged again! I will talk to my local representative about his and see if she can pass legislation that will restrict your ability to use credit cards without their ongoing permission.

Timely Updates

Seems spot on with articles I like

Ok, when it works

Randomly logs you out and then just cycles unsuccessfully when trying to log back in so you can read the content you already paid for.

Worst newspaper app EVER!

And they believe we should be paying for this subscription? I haven’t seen a change to the stories this app brings up in over a week. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother wasting your money.

Top stories do not update

Biased news!!!

Don’t see how opinions are called news... WOW... totally useless

Prefers Facebook over their own application

Recently, the FDL reporter application seems like an after thought. Sometimes the articles/stories are not updated for days. If your lucky, you may receive one to two new articles for a particular day. Meanwhile, the Reporter’s Facebook account posts stories and updates numerous times each day. At this point the FDL reporter application feels redundant and irrelevant. I prefer to get my news through official applications instead of having to jump through extra hoops via Facebook. If these trends continue, I will be obligated to cancel my yearly subscription. Other local sources such as KFIZ are equally thorough and up to date while remaining free to the public. Competitors also seem to offer stories/articles through social media AND their own applications/websites equally.

App will not open!

9/20/20. Tried to open at least 20 time this morning but continually crashes immediately. Please fix. Thx

Hate that I have to log in every time I use it. Hate that it isn’t linked with Facebook

App keeps crashing!

I’ve been a subscriber for 15+ years. The app has been crashing the last month! Written copy version also! It starts to load, get a glimpse of the page then disappears! Try over & over and continues to crash! Please fix this issue!! I am paying for a subscription I cannot use!!

Difficult to navigate quickly.

If you want to look at obits or local sports scores or local stories you need to search through lots of pages and it is slow

FDL Reporter App

Fix this app. Over the last month this app continually keeps crashing. I open the app and it immediately shuts back down. I’m paying for a service I’m not receiving. I’ve called several times about this and nothing is ever done about it.

Long distance reader.

Living 1,200 away from Fond du Lac, I love reading news from home.

Amazballs

Let’s people be aware of what is happening and it is fasnating

Fond du Lac Reporter

The paper has very little news information from around the country and so often focuses on the Stupid Packers and hardly mentions the Brewers even now in the pennant race. Get some decent writers!

Love using this app. Keeps me up to date on what's going on at home.

Great app & perfect way to keep up on the news & happenings in my area.

Good start

The app is good in theory. More follow through is needed with news alerts.
