### 1/5 — Should be free like wtvm

*2023-10-12*

Free

**Developer response:** Set the Home Screen to the eEdition to receive the the latest daily news.

### 1/5 — Old news

*2022-11-19, version 9.1.8*

The articles are weeks old. Not much new news.no other online news apps charges. What a joke. Why should we have to pay for online paper. Wrbl is free

### 2/5 — Doesn’t respect privacy.

*2021-03-13, version 8.0.1*

Too many ads for an over-priced local news subscription.  No functional archive, no search capability, highly intrusive app requirements such as access to contacts when clearly not needed for purpose of delivering news.  This paper has been in steady decline for years and it shows.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-01-22, version 8.0.0*

“New and Improved” App is nearly unreadable! It is so frustrating to read this paper now. Please change back!

### 4/5 — Today’s edition

*2020-11-21, version 7.10.0*

I want to access the daily edition when it won’t open from email.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-08-15, version 7.9.1*

All I want is the edition. I pay for it and can’t get it. The app is cumbersome. Using the web version is unreliable. Sign in links are broken.

### 4/5 — Needs work

*2020-01-08, version 7.5.0*

Difficult to read in full screen mode. Ads at bottom are distracting & why should I have suffer ads. I pay for the paper.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-11-02, version 7.4.0*

Download the app to test and all it displays are blank light grey lines. Deleted and reloaded with same results.  Bye.

### 1/5 — Problems

*2019-10-23, version 7.4.0*

The current app is worse than the older version when it does load properly. The old app would allow you to view full screen but the new app is full of annoying ads that do not go away and are hampering the view of the small screen paper.

### 1/5 — Don’t like

*2019-10-20, version 7.4.0*

Old version much easier.In new version, tap e-edition icon at top of page and it asks for sign in every time,but won’t connect. Very disappointed!
