## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — WORST “NEWSPAPER” EVER

*2023-02-12, version 9.1.3*

Ever wonder why reviews for this pathetic attempt at “reporting” local news only has reviews from YEARS ago, and why recent reviews are deleted? Because OA News deletes them, then responds by email. Is this ethical? Or even legal?? HOW DOES ONE CANCEL ONE’S SUBSCRIPTION?? Good luck with that—they’ve made it impossible to do so. Will be calling credit card company about this AND reporting to the Apple app store.

### 1/5 — Don’t like updates

*2019-11-23, version 5.1*

The updated version will not allow the screen to rotate.  Extremely annoying.  Also, scrolling through all the large pics to find articles is irritating.  Tried to use the new app but can’t stand it. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2019-05-29, version 4.30.480042221*

Lame Dull Boring ZZZZ

### 1/5 — Not kept up to date

*2016-07-18, version 4.19.290019713*

Slowest app to load I have ever seen.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-05-07, version 4.18.170018430*

This was never kept as up to date as the website, but now the cap on articles is laughable. This isn't a large news site where you MIGHT have people pay for that. When I use my limit, I'll go to another source rather than paying for this. I highly doubt many people will pay for the OA News.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-11-17, version 4.14.5*

You can now only view 25 articles in 30 days. App never had all the articles that paper or website had and now you can view less than 1 article a day. Worthless

### 2/5 — This website cap is ridiculous..

*2016-06-27, version 4.18.170018430*

I love hometown papers...I had to drop the paper edition to POOR delivery service....of yes I call many times...

Now to pay a chunk for reading a Website...
Not, this is a small town...
Not CNN...oh yes, they are free and not limited articles! 
Maybe a new Building was not needed ...

### 3/5 — Why???

*2016-05-28, version 4.18.170018430*

Wish I could keep up with my hometown but cannot see paying more for the web service than a regular subscription.  I will just use my free looks.  Would like to see a cheaper web service to keep up with my hometown.

### 3/5 — OA

*2015-10-15, version 4.14.5*

Better than the last one, but not impressive. War Eagle!!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-09-09, version 4.30.420040074*

The app itself is fantastic, but it asking you to log in after so many article views is ridiculous.

### 5/5 — Live in B’ham

*2019-06-18, version 4.30.480042221*

But my heart is in Auburn. I love to get news and sports updates. Thanks

### 5/5 — Very informative I would recommend it to everyone.

*2017-05-31, version 4.21.290025512*

A must have connection for news of local and national.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2017-05-04, version 4.21.290025512*

Real easy to use. I would certainly recommend it!

### 4/5 — A good start but needs a little work

*2016-07-24, version 4.19.290019713*

Some things load slowly or only show part of the story.
