### 5/5 — Keeping us informed

*2026-01-30*

I think the Missoulian is doing a great job with undoubtedly strapped resources to keep us all up to date about local and state politics, arts, sports and general community activities. So we all need to subscribe so local news can continue to exist. $19/month for an online subscription is very affordable for most.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the positive review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know you’re enjoying the app.

### 1/5 — Not a great app

*2026-01-30*

I’m a paid subscriber. It Doesn’t show the same content as the website, it’s full of ads and it prioritizes local sports news. Worst of all, you can’t open it from inside another app. (When you click a article link in another app, it opens in safari instead of the Missoulian app.

### 3/5 — Unstable app

*2025-04-12*

The app sometimes won’t open. It would get more stars if it were more stable.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We truly appreciate it. I will pass it on to our development team.

### 5/5 — Good news paper

*2025-03-24*

Very satisfying!

**Developer response:** We appreciate the positive review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know you’re enjoying the app.

### 1/5 — Trash App and Horrible Service

*2024-10-21*

None of there technology from the app to the website works correctly. Then make it prohibitively hard to cancel your subscription. Greta job Missoulian, keep proving while Missoilians think your a joke.

**Developer response:** I’m sorry that you’re not satisfied with our app. Our goal is that readers can easily read and keep up with the latest local news – sports, government, education, food and business stories that matter most in your everyday life. Please email me at csc-digital-escalations@lee.net if there is anything we can do to assist you further.

### 1/5 — No Excuse

*2023-03-08*

I have tried to stay with the Missoulian ever since it went digital. I know the transition has been tough but come on guys, you’ve had enough time to adjust now and it just doesn’t seem to be getting any better. I hang in for the little bit of local news you print but I’m close to giving you up. Not worth the cost.

### 1/5 — No thank you

*2022-12-15*

You really think I should pay for a subscription to this?!?!? Unbelievable

### 1/5 — App continues to disappoint

*2022-09-27*

App must have been developed in Lower Slobovia. It’s expensive and requires frequent requests for help. Lee wanted to raise the price 100% last January, settled for 30%.  Meanwhile, the app woes continue.

### 1/5 — 18.99 / month

*2022-06-09, version 8.13.5*

$18.99 a month for a subpar news app is comical. Downloading KPAX.

### 1/5 — Horrible app for free. . .

*2022-03-04, version 8.13.5*

. . .and now wanting 18.99/mo? Insane
