Nice App

This one loads faster, and is easy to navigate. The downside? Not being able to comment on the article

Same thing,no news

Seems like there’s the same thing for days on here,any other newspaper has up to date news,and the news that’s on here is what I call stupid news,who wants to read about a bunch of meth heads and to show their faces is ridiculous,we already know they look like death so why show them or expose them,put news on worth reading and some from around the world,and the obituaries are never updated,or stay on forever? Come on the Indy paper is what you need to model yourself with,I know it’s gannet but I’m tired of looking at the same thing everyday

Ads

I paid for the sub subscription. I should not have to go through so many ads when I’m trying to read the paper. There should be a way to close off the ads.
