## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t turn off video autoplay

*2026-06-17*

New app looks fine but now there are videos that autoplay embedded in most news stories. I don’t see a setting to automatically mute these videos or prevent them from playing.

### 1/5 — WTH?!!

*2026-06-10*

This app refuses to be downloaded. Instead, every single day I have to revisit App Store and reopen the app and read the newspaper from App Store.
Clunky. Silly.

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2023-01-04*

Slow and full of bugs

### 2/5 — Can’t Stop Videos

*2026-06-23*

When opening an article auto playback of the video version automatically plays. It’s so annoying and no setting available to shut off!

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2020-08-01*

I’ve been reading the e-paper on the Forum website on my iPad and expected the same functionality in this app. I’ve been most disappointed to find that’s not the case....why does the “continued on” page not link to the page the story continues on?  It does on the website and it’s one feature that I want. I’ll continue to watch for updates and check back regularly but until this functionality is available I’ll read the e-paper on the website, it works just fine there.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2020-07-02*

The article you tap on may not be the one you see. Mostly the Hornbacher’s ad opens not the news article.

### 3/5 — Why no app

*2022-10-25*

I have had this app for a while it’s usually good . I can’t open it now what’s up?

### 5/5 — App functionality great, but DRAINS battery for some reason..

*2022-07-27*

I really like the features and functionality of this app - very straightforward to use and more convenient than using the web based browser version. Unfortunately, it overheats my iPhone and begins to rapidly drain the battery.; have deleted and re-installed the app with no improvement. It will be interesting to see if other users are affected or not? Would give 5 stars otherwise. Will go back to web-based viewing but hoping (if app related) future update will fix battery drain / overheat issue.

Update 7-26-2022:  Have been giving this app another try for the last few days (two years after the initial try); iPhone is now iOS 15.5 and the app is working smoothly.

### 5/5 — Fargo Forum! Love it

*2020-07-03*

Future of newspapers. Easy to use. Look forward to it every morning on my iPhone and iPad.

### 5/5 — New Fargo Forum app

*2020-07-02*

This is a great app! I just loaded it yesterday on both my iPhone & iPad. It is so easy to use & quicker to use it, then going into one’s email & finding the latest edition. Whoever designed this did a real great job!Highly recommend this app!
