Review

I just like reading my news paper on my I-Pad during the week and getting the Sunday morning news paper in my box at the mailbox. I like keeping up with the news. Your doing a great job.

Great Indy News Source

The Indianapolis Star app is a good source of Indy news.

Miserable excuse for app

This app is easily the worst I have. Slow to load (if it loads), fails to display pages most days, the first page of comics is always blurred. User hint: tap first page of comics, tap the plus sign in upper right, tap the minus sign three times, re- center image of page. The page is now readable.
