## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — They don't deliver

*2016-07-09, version 4.1.1*

Despite paying/subscribing and logging in, the app confirms you are logged in but then doesn't allow you to access the articles.

### 1/5 — News not up to date

*2013-01-11, version 1.0.1*

It's a great app if you want to read what happened yesterday. Why the heck don't you have current news?

### 1/5 — Not a free app

*2012-09-07, version 1.0.1*

This paper will not let you read it, without a paid subscription

### 2/5 — Two stars is generous

*2017-08-09, version 4.12.1*

It shows the same stories for days. It's almost a history paper instead of a newspaper.

### 3/5 — The American

*2019-04-02, version 5.16.1*

This new app is not as easy to navigate through as the old one was.

### 4/5 — Southern Ms. Fan

*2024-01-25, version 7.5.1*

Enjoy the sports section.

### 4/5 — Hattiesburg daily

*2020-07-17, version 5.25.1*

Informative.

### 4/5 — Two thumbs up

*2017-07-06, version 4.12.1*

Really enjoying the digital version.

### 4/5 — App works pretty well

*2015-06-29, version 2.5.7*

Over all the news app works fine. Sometimes I get loading errors but otherwise I'm able to access the articles with no trouble. All the ads are local businesses and I've got no problem supporting them by skimming through them as I catch up on my local news.

### 4/5 — Very Clean Interface

*2014-07-10, version 2.0.3*

I love the way this app is setup! Runs very smooth, doesn't crash, and everything looks very slick. My only recommendations are working on section to section transition speed, adding article display options for dark and light color schemes to the iPad version of the app, and please please please add Newsstand support!!! I give it 4 stars for now, but this app is an easy 5 stars with the addition of iPad color scheme options and support for Apple's Newsstand App!!!

*2021-05-01, version 6.4.0*

This is a good paper for the community with enough history to bring older people in touch with the younger generations.

*2016-07-10, version 4.1.1*

Great I keep with local news with the Hattiesburg American Thanks JD

### 5/5 — Gets the job done

*2016-02-01, version 2.5.7*

Gets the job done.

### 5/5 — Fantastic and easy

*2016-01-22, version 2.5.7*
