Can understand one or the other but just greedy. ### 1/5 — Paywalled *2020-12-09, version 6.2.0* Apparently the 3-4 ads per article weren’t enough that now it’s paywalled to view anything. Including COVID-19 news. They have destroyed the neighborhood news papers, shut down their local Facebook groups, fired most reporters so your wanting us to pay for press releases and poorly written articles. Thanks Gannett ### 1/5 — Now completely subscription based *2019-12-10, version 5.22.2* App Store entry does not mention that it requires subscription or in-app purchases. Shame on you, Gannett!!! ### 2/5 — Where is Kentucky? No in Ohio! *2019-06-03, version 5.16.1* Too much Cincinnati stuff! Why is there Cincinnati Sports in Kentucky Tab??? Don’t care about Ohio! ### 5/5 — Great sports coverage especially high school both boys and girls *2019-05-31, version 5.16.1* My go to app for high school sports ### 5/5 — Born and raised in ky *2019-05-23, version 5.16.1* I lived in Kentucky my entire life ( born in 1952). Until July 2010 Due to hubbys new job we moved to Brooklyn Indiana which is 15 miles SW of Indianapolis. We live on very limited budget so getting to read NKY.com is great as I know what’s happening st our hometown. I love the site !!! ### 1/5 — Just Spins *2019-04-03, version 24.3.93* Terrible. Just spins when you click update. Never connects. ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-10-01, version 24.3.93* App closes up when reading story ### 1/5 — Useless with pop-ups *2017-06-23, version 24.3.16* Suddenly pop-up ads from Amazon appeared and there appears to be no way to get past them. Tried looking at the obits and there's no way to get in. I've been using this app for quite some time (years) and it was pretty good. Not any more. Don't waste your time. Deleted... ### 1/5 — New? *2017-03-03, version 24.0.71* This is a sports page, very little news. Worthless! ## Frequently asked questions about NKY ### What kind of news does the NKY app provide?
