### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2020-04-05, version 1.1*

So many ads that the feature stories don’t even load.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2020-03-25, version 1.1*

News is okay, but doesn’t get updated over the weekend. I constantly tap on ads by mistake which takes me out to Safari. It seems more and more ads are popping up everyday, making the thing practically unusable. Also I can’t get the main headlines appear because it’s busy loading ads. I’m about to uninstall, which is disappointing because it’s the only place to read local obits and birth announcements.

### 1/5 — The app is dead?

*2020-02-12, version 1.1*

The app takes so long to load I just give up on it and go to the web site.  If it’s not going to be maintained, it should be removed from the app store.

### 2/5 — Stories good - app does not work well

*2020-04-20, version 1.1*

Top stories never load.  Love the reporting though.

### 3/5 — Want to read more

*2018-11-03, version 1.1*

Way to many ads , I know that’s how it works but this is ridiculous, I like to read local news and you guys always have the first scoop , but I just kinda cringe every time I open it knowing how hard it is to read, so, I’ll go to news 7 or news line 9, clean it up

### 4/5 — Best option for Wausau Readers

*2019-04-28, version 1.1*

Finally, a place to read the local news and events. The world is full of state national and international news. Refreshing to know that there is someone who cares about our Wausau community. Thanks

### 4/5 — News while away from home

*2018-08-06, version 1.1*

It is great to have a source of local news when we are traveling or away from home for an extended time.

Paying attention to all the happenings in the wausau area ( not only Wausau) is very interesting to us, and keeps us informed 
On more topics than are available in other ways.

Thank you for making this available 👍

### 5/5 — The BEST local news.

*2019-10-07, version 1.1*

This simply the best source for digital news in the Wausau area. The  stories hit here in more detail well before any of the other media outlets. While it is liberal leaning, I look here first for local news reporting. Most news is on here before the other media sources react.

### 5/5 — Rexs
