Very difficult to find. ### 1/5 — Digital version just doesn’t work *2017-11-08* Recently moved from Oakland County to Genesee County and really wanted local news from Flint Journal. I had read the Oakland Press for years on my iPad and really hoped that the Flint Journal would be as good. Very disappointing! Digital version just flat out doesn’t work on iPad and is spotty on my iPhone. You guys can’t charge $2.99/week for a crap application. But if you fix it I’ll happily pay it. Unfortunately I’ve given up, so will never know if you improved it or not. Basically you’ve lost a customer forever. No wonder that local newspapers are going the way of the dinosaurs. ### 2/5 — Too Much Sports *2021-02-08* Wish there were more cultural and human interest articles. ### 3/5 — Puzzles *2020-10-15* I enjoy these puzzles very much. Sometimes however it freezes Up not sure why. ### 3/5 — What if you don’t live and breathe sports? *2020-04-20* A web site that is 90% sports content is not a “news” site it is a sports site with a few “news sprinkles” on top ### 3/5 — Needs A Fresh Update *2018-01-28* The app suffers from a number of flaws related to its old codebase. It is sluggish on modern iOS 11 devices and does not communicate well with its own backend. I am routinely logged-out and asked for my credentials to view the digital edition. The sharing features are not current with contemporary iOS standards and are thus cumbersome. Overall this could be a good app; but MLive has not invested the necessary resources in app development. I hope you consider a fully rewritten update. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable app *2020-04-22* Pleasantly surprised as to how much variety of timely news is included in this app. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-11-08* So glad to have the Flint Journal on my iPad! I can read it anywhere and anytime I want. I like that it looks just like the print edition, which I read for many years. ### 5/5 — News *2021-03-31* Good local news but to leftist. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The digital Flint Journal. *2021-01-05* I love getting the Digital Flint Journal while away. It keeps me informed as to what’s going on at home. ### 5/5 — Viewing the Flint Journal *2021-01-04* It is with great ease to read and view the Journal via the app on my iPad I enjoy it ### 5/5 — Great local news *2020-11-12* Great coverage of the local area news with some national and international coverage. ### 5/5 — I read the flint journal every day *2020-06-07* The Flint Journal still has some very good writers. It is a must read for local and state news. The investigative team during the water crisis was superlative. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-06-05, version 3.1.80* So glad to have the Flint Journal on my iPad! I can read it anywhere and anytime I want. I like that it looks just like the print edition, which I read for many years. ### 5/5 — Great way to get your news *2020-05-27* Barely read the actual paper on the days it’s delivered. I can expand the text and easily choose the articles I want to read. I would like to be able to click on pictures and enlarge them too, but so far this capability is unavailable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
