### 3/5 — Confusing; nice idea tho

*2025-05-11*

I hope this helps student journalists get more exposure. Are you supposed to be a student to access it? I tried to read an article from the internet in the app when prompted in my web browser, but the app wants me to input a school i go to…i’m out of school.
The comments aren’t readable if the app is in dark mode 😣

### 1/5 — Very

*2019-12-11*

Bad i dont like

### 3/5 — Affordable but limited

*2019-09-12*

If you’re in high school journalism:  You’re stuck with the generic-looking “s” icon — no way to customize it to your school paper’s own image.  And, at least as far as I can tell, the news page of our paper is the default first screen after the app is launched.  OK with that, except when I’m not.  It would be nice to be able to adjust that in the app settings.  But again, I could be overlooking something.  Certainly cheaper than paying a developer, but it’s limited.  SNO Support is always very prompt, so that’s a big plus here.  I guess I was just hoping for something slicker than this.

**Developer response:** Hello California JM,
