### 1/5 — Keep pushing polls at me

*2020-06-27*

Seem to target me as a Democrat!

### 1/5 — Not Impressed

*2019-11-02*

Not impressed by this layout. Certain sections are easy to find but not everything is. Why isn’t there a “Police Log” or “Crimewatch” section? Some people have reason for looking for that.

### 1/5 — Not very good - still

*2019-09-29*

Still no improvement since last review below 2 years ago. 

Does not cover High School sports very well and is very spotty. If I could give less than one star I would.

### 1/5 — Replica

*2019-04-28*

I just want the replica daily newspaper. Where the heck is it?

### 3/5 — Average

*2017-04-14*

I cannot find the obituaries. Not much news for around the world.

### 1/5 — If you like sports news from the greater metro area

*2013-12-20*

This app is not that good. For local area news, it lists all the sport scores for Philadelphia professional teams. Not something I have any interest in. You have to scroll and seek out local community/area news events. The app doesn't help you find much else in the area either.

### 4/5 — The reporter online

*2013-07-21*

Lag it update at times

### 1/5 — Needs help

*2013-05-23*

Needs work... Many times articles are the same from one day to the next.
Obit's need more help...too confusing and redundant ~

### 1/5 — Not current

*2013-04-13*

The app has the same news stories for days, Breaking news 3 days old.  Will get news elsewhere.

### 2/5 — Same old news

*2013-04-11*

Same old news for days. Need to update news more often than what you do now . Tired of seeing the same articles.i get more local news from the Lansdale Patch on Facebook.
