DO NOT SUBSCRIBE
i have a subscription and i want to cancel it, but there’s no way to do it. no one to contact. no letters to the editor to express my disgust with what they choose to entice me with in my emails. no phone number to call. no email address to use. when they send an email with a link to a story i can’t read it until i sign in. of i go to the app to look for the story, its no where to be found. there cant possibly be enough positive reviews for them to have more than two stars. they are really awful. i’m being stolen from because i have no way to cancel my subscription. to hell with this business. it’s a rip off.

Not free
It says it’s a free app, but you can’t read anything without being a subscriber
Poor performance
Slow to load, laggy articles, clickbait-y articles.
Crashes constantly and…
… Limited filtering & searching. Not great for a paid app.
glitches make app unusable
I click a notification to read a story and the app opens, freezes, and crashes. If I want to actually read a story, I have to search for it myself in a browser. Sometimes the app will work for a moment but then it will freeze and crash. I’ve reinstalled, updated, and everything—this has been an ongoing issue.

Garbage paywall app!
Huge fail and no doubt why this media has failed . Click bait on most stories and then you get the paywall. Very liberal and anti Trump/America First hack reporting. Every story/event they want to charge you for is always available for free elsewhere. The UK based Daily Mail will have better coverage on local news events than this steaming pile of waste called MLIVE!

How can it be this bad?
Like others say, used to be great but for last 9 months or so it takes forever to load, crashes and is very slow. Must be their way of trying to force subscriptions.
Crashes
Gets progressively worse with each update. It won’t load without numerous attempts. If it does load, it will crash while looking at an article. There is no way I would subscribe to this nearly useless app.
Won’t load
Totally not loading. I got it to load once and it froze. Tried it again…black screen every time. Good thing I don’t pay for this!!
Failure
Fails to connect ?

Unusable
Since the update a month ago, the app takes forever to load, then hangs while it apparently waits for ads to load.
Terrible App
This app is so glitchy. Frequently I click on a story and it just freezes. I have latest iPhone and on WiFi. Still doesn’t make a difference
Almost useless
The company keeps pushing me to use the app so they can stop printing an actual newspapers, but the app takes minutes to start nevermind load a story because of the ads. I can read an article on the website (which is only slightly better) or 2-3 articles in the paper before the app loads one story.
Buggy
I gave up on the Free Press, and thought MLive would be a good option. So far I can’t tell about content, but to switch from one section to another I have to close the app. Please fix.
Can it get any slower?
Glitchy! Hire a coder who knows what they're doing. One assumes a newspaper that has abdicated the local newspaper business could at least have a workable app. This is so damn slow.
Garbage
This app freezes after every tap, it’s terrible!

Waaaaaaay too slow and...
The app leaves out the most important stories. For example, a young woman who organized a protest in Grand Rapids was arrested on camera for a bogus charge, newspapers in the UK covered it, but it was not among the news stories the app offered. Also impossible to write a letter to the editor. An altogether limp excuse for a paid local news app.

Loading problems etc
They need to figure out technical aspects of app. Most times it won’t open. When it does open it’s slow and sometime unresponsive.
