Unable to update subscription. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-24, version 28.5.4* I have had a great experience with this app. I like the different options for reading the paper: view as a web page or view the electronic version of the paper. Scroll through the pages or select a section to view. I have not had any issues in over a year, and I use this app almost every day. ### 5/5 — Great Local Paper *2025-09-23, version 28.5.2* The MENS is one of the best Small town Papers in the state ### 2/5 — Not very user friendly… *2024-06-15, version 27.10.0* I think that this app is a ploy by the folks at the Monroe Evening News to improve sales of their print edition! Because no self-respecting group of journalists would put this out “as is”. It’s clunky and not very user-friendly. The classifieds can’t even be accessed without several hoops, and then you’re still likely to get an error message. When you get the daily email with reasons to read the News, the advertisement at the top of the page is so huge, it looks like it’s a story, and not just an advertisement. Misleading placement can confuse readers; advertising should be placed elsewhere in the email. ### 2/5 — Too many glitches. *2024-04-18, version 27.8.0* The enewspaper option fails too often. ### 1/5 — Monroe news *2023-09-11, version 27.3.1* Can’t get in ### 5/5 — Monroe News *2022-11-25, version 26.12.5* Wonderful, local news station! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2022-10-26, version 26.12.5* Unable to access articles that subscribed to. Tried restarting, re-installing app , still can not restore purchase. ### 1/5 — The classifieds at no longer online… *2022-04-10, version 26.10.0* ….and I refuse to subscribe to this faint excuse for a newspaper in any way. So I will probably not see your garage sale, if you are reading this, whoever you might be. The classifieds are the only enjoyable part of the paper, and it’s no longer accessible to me. ONE STAR, with updates to come. ## Frequently asked questions about Monroe News ### What kind of content does the app offer?
