### 2/5 — Not a good App

*2023-04-08*

The Trentonian does not even publish all of their written content on the app. The paper is a shell of what it used to be, which wasn’t great to begin with, and the App is even worse.

### 1/5 — No news, Old news & only Sports news

*2022-10-07, version 7.6.3*

Will not be renewing my subscription when it expires next year. You should not even have an app. It’s embarrassing & a tragedy, just like Trenton!

### 1/5 — Terrible news app

*2022-07-29, version 7.6.3*

Not worth anything

### 2/5 — Trento Ian

*2020-10-16, version 7.4.5*

I like the improvements to the app , I was just about to cancel my subscription because I could never read it , the pop up ads made almost impossible to read the news , like every 5 seconds a new ad , it would take too long to download or I would try and click the ad away the ad would make sure that you would accidentally click on it every time and it became very annoying , I was ready to cancel 

The problem that I am having with the app now is that , A lot of articles are missing from the newspaper, I have another way by way of android to tap in to the newspaper and I see so many articles missing it is a shame 

I don’t like the E - reader because it doesn’t let you see pictures and I want to see pictures with the articles , the app needs work y’all need to do something

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-12-04, version 7.4.2*

I can’t pick specific link if I open local than crime that app crashes and it’s alway about a week behind

### 3/5 — Loading time

*2019-12-03*

Pages are taking long time to load or dont load and sends you back to main page recently

### 2/5 — Slow updates

*2019-10-28*

App does not always have the most up to date stuff. Normally seems to be 2-3 days behind

### 1/5 — Trentonian?

*2018-04-04*

It’s hard to find out what’s happening in the city when it doesn’t have nothing about the city. I want to read what’s going on in Trenton not in California. Focus on what the app is about. If we wanted to know what was going on in Cali we would download CNN. Update and fix that.

### 4/5 — Not finished

*2017-07-09*

I enjoy the app for its up to date news articles but for some reason the pictures are always distorted and partially shown.  If I went on the website I get clear, full photos.  Please this issue and thanks for reporting the news in Mercer County, NJ.

### 5/5 — Readability

*2017-07-09*

Like the local sports.  I like the columnists that write on the same subject,  one left the other right or one up one down.
