### 5/5 — Excellent coverage

*2025-07-22*

The News Messenger always has excellent coverage.

### 4/5 — Update

*2025-06-11*

I read what has happened and will be going on everyday with morning coffee

### 5/5 — W

*2024-08-08*

Defensesj

### 4/5 — App does not take advantage of full iPad screen

*2023-07-24*

Please update the app to use the full width of the iPad screen instead of black bars on each side

### 4/5 — Hometown news

*2017-04-25*

I enjoy checking the happenings everyday in the town I grew up in.

### 1/5 — PAYING FOR LOCAL NEWS

*2017-01-14*

Your price for the news is to much...local articles are very short and not entertaining. Reporters fail to bring well written articles to the local community.  Fremont area should cover every sport not just football and basketball.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-07-02*

Love the news alerts on my phone. Keeps me up to date when news breaks!

### 1/5 — Poor coverage of local sports

*2016-04-16*

I purchased this app specifically for local sports coverage (for Spring sports) and there rarely is any! Very disappointed and a waste of money

### 4/5 — Nice App!

*2012-08-12*

Lots of great features in this app. It is usable on my iPad, but photos have a little distortion and it is designed for a phone. I hope local high school sports scores will be included this fall. I would never want to give up my paper copy, but I think I will be using this a lot.
