Stugots!!! ### 1/5 — Only 1/2 page shows up. The swipe right or left stay on half the page *2020-05-03* Can’t see articles due to the instructions about swiping right, left up down covers page. So frustrating you can’t get app to work properly **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for letting us know. If you tap that instructions screen, it should disappear. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-05-09* I use to enjoy this app but for several months all I get is the title with the rest of the screen white. Am I not able to use this with my iPhone 7 Plus? Though I wish that when I am reading an article or an obituary that when I went back it would bring me back to that spot rather than at the top, then I have to scroll down to where I left off. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We recently released a version that is faster, more stable, and more reliable for all Apple devices, and especially iPhone X. Try checking out the app again and let us know if you continue to have issues. Thanks for trying Town Crier Wire. ### 1/5 — Does not update often *2017-07-04* The information on the app is only update once in a 24 hour period. Its a news app. I can always read old news in a newspaper. Update: It has not been updated in days. Same old news. Come on man! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for trying Town Crier Wire. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work well *2017-04-25* Sends tons of notifications for relevant and irrelevant news. When you attempt to read an article you have to hold the device just right or it flips to the next article. Completely useless if you ask me. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

It switches as soon as I touch the screen. And when I click on a notification it goes to the wrong story. Lots of fixes to go. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

Every time I try to scroll down, the article "flips" to the next. Very frustrating! There is no setting option to change the sensitivity of the screen. No other app on my phone does this. I've tried to update the app and it is now worse. Deleting now! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

So very frustrating because I really appreciate following the local news through this app when it used to work. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

Still works fine on my iPhone 6 running an older IOS-upgrade please. Thanks for the response.....but.... now does open about half the time on my iPhone X. AGAIN!!!!! Upgraded iPhone X to IOS 12.1 (newest) and nothing will open. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

But could do without ads in the obituaries. **Developer response:** We are able to bring you this free service with the help of advertisers that choose to support the app so we can remain subscription free.
