### 4/5 — Great to have BUT

*2022-10-06*

love having an app to look at news quickly and conveniently, BUT I can’t seem to find current information or stories when I search. It usually shows thing from as far back as a few years. Also, I don’t get the whole paper on the app. Only bits and pieces. I don’t appreciate the price of $9.99 at all. I could see that if I get the Repository too but not for just 1 paper and only half the news.

### 5/5 — Overall good app

*2022-09-19*

The functionality of it is very professional, rarely ever crashes and cannot complain when it does. Clean/user friendly layout! And great articles.

### 3/5 — Updates

*2021-03-12*

Why isn’t some of the categories updated?
