I get pop ups (scams I can only presume) that my iPad has been randomly selected as a winner of $1,000. Really? That indicates to me it’s not very secure. Only app I have and I have dozens and dozens that does that. ### 3/5 — Houma Today *2017-01-01* Way too much advertising. I feel like I am having to pay to look at advertisements. ### 4/5 — Houma Today *2016-09-26, version 4.20.140021832* Like it ### 5/5 — GREAT COVERAGE *2016-02-14* The Houma Courier has improved considerably over the last few years. Area residents are now enjoying quick and accurate reporting with follow ups when needed. Sheriff Larpenter is the best sheriff Terrebonne Parish could hope to have. ### 1/5 — Houma today app is a fraud *2014-09-25* No where in the detail or agreement when download that it say you are required to pay a monthly fee. You down load you get 2 clicks of a page the you are required to pay 9.95 a month to be able to read articles this App really needs to be reported for it is misleading to users who download it thinking it's a free app of local new articles ### 1/5 — Could've been good... *2014-07-27* The app isn't so bad as long as they keep it updated. The only downside to it is you still have to be a subscriber to use the app. Just to read the articles on this mobile app cost 9.95 per month. No thank you. You can keep your app for that BS price. ### 1/5 — Don't Update!!!! *2012-08-11, version 1.2.0* The app never updates!! All you can read is the same stuff for months!!! Alot easier to go through a web browser and view full site!!! ### 1/5 — This app is poo!!💩💩💩💩💩 *2012-06-08, version 1.2.0* All news old and very slow to update on breaking news, they are consistently bested and scooped by everyone else!! Get wwl app wayyyyyyy better even for terr/laf news!! Tighten up!!! ### 2/5 — Obituaries *2011-06-22, version 1.1* Obituaries haven't updated in months. Please update app to fix obituaries. ### 2/5 — Update obituaries *2011-05-15, version 1.1* Y'all need to update the obituaries ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Outdated Stories and Poor Content *2025-09-15* I’ve been riding this poor horse for too long. Yes, It’s only $8 per month, but it’s not even worth that. The change in formatting was the last straw. I’m out. ### 1/5 — Subscription *2024-09-18* Unable to cancel subscription. Instructions say to cancel through iTunes. iTunes says I don’t have anything. Clicked on my email and logged me out but did not cancel anything. ### 1/5 — Gail swing *2023-09-01* Every month I pay for a subscription and I’m being asked to subscribe why is google stealing my money ### 1/5 — Pushes subscription *2023-06-26* The app now forces you to subscribe if you want to read the news. Also, outdated articles stay on way too long. Very sports oriented. ### 1/5 — Can’t access *2022-09-26* Unable to Access app even with subscription. Tried several times. ### 1/5 — Pushes subscription *2022-09-19, version 6.12.5* The app now forces you to subscribe if you want to read the news.

Reporting app for abuse. ### 1/5 — Bluetooth devices. *2017-06-09, version 4.22.220026460* Why would this or any news app is wanting to connect to my other Bluetooth devices. ### 1/5 — Greedy! *2015-12-06, version 4.14.5* Maybe it's me but I think is wrong and greedy that a "news service" would charge to read it. ALL THE OTHERS ARE FREE! and the app is problematic, and you still have to pay for it.... Pathetic! ### 1/5 — Crashes with iOS 9! *2015-09-20, version 1.2.0* It won't even load headlines.
