### 1/5 — New App

*2025-12-08*

Yesterday I was prompted to download the new app to read my paid subscription to the electronic edition. When prompted to long in I submitted my login credentials. It then gave error message not knowing if it was on my end or theirs. If they do not get this fixed many subscribers will cancel the subscription and I will be on the top of the list. You should test your new software before putting it on the marked.

### 2/5 — Obituary Problems

*2023-07-06, version 7.6.3*

For the past couple weeks, I’m only seeing Local Spotlight obituaries when I click on Obituaries. Where are all the other obituaries? Very disappointing!

### 4/5 — Simple. Some ideas.

*2023-02-24*

App works well and interface is simple. Some feedback. Be nice to have a “dark mode” option and also for the app to integrate into a widget on iPhone like Freep app does.

### 1/5 — Used to love this app

*2022-01-12, version 7.6.1*

Now you have to buy a subscription just to get your local news. Basic articles aren’t readable. Had the app for years and deleted it today

### 1/5 — Seriously?!?!?!?

*2021-06-01, version 7.6.0*

You want us to pay to read your app??? If I do will all the advertisements be gone??

### 1/5 — Log in

*2021-05-26, version 7.6.0*

Why do u have to log in to read an article now!? Ridiculous

### 5/5 — Top Notch

*2019-11-07, version 7.4.0*

A very good newspaper. My favorite section is local sports. It has terrific coverage and great articles in the Macomb area.

### 1/5 — Next to worthless

*2019-10-30, version 7.4.0*

So little content, seems like an afterthought.

### 1/5 — ZERO RE-FRESH

*2019-09-24, version 7.3.13*

“Yesterday’s news” would be a compliment. Reading the same article from last week!

### 5/5 — Very nice layout

*2019-06-09*

There is a lot to offer for the Macomb daily and all other areas and we should be heard and what can change if needed and not just complain. Give ideas if that is what is needed, but don’t just complain because you want a right now. They are giving it, you just have search and get use to the app. Over all very impressed. Would love for there to be a area of meeting for Macomb if there is not already one. Am still looking through it and good job.
