### 1/5 — Ads

*2020-08-19*

I paid for no ads and there are ads when I scroll

### 1/5 — Local Surrounding High School Sports

*2020-01-10*

It’s a shame I hardly ever see write ups for our local High School sports for Cal,  La Serna, Santa Fe, Whittier High and Pioneer 🤦🏻‍♀️ what are they? Chopped liver?

### 1/5 — App not working

*2019-11-14*

I can’t seem to get my app to work. When I go into my WDN app, it loads forever and nothing comes of it.

### 4/5 — Whittier Daily News

*2018-05-31*

Updated version seems to be working fine now. Informative local news around the community headlines the front page. Also pleased with the local high school athletics coverage. Good job overall.

### 1/5 — App never has opened

*2017-04-01*

:( always closes itself...

### 3/5 — Whittier Daily Nres

*2017-02-18*

Not worth the time-- need
 More local news , obits and 
Around town news.

### 2/5 — Can't always read the news

*2015-07-17*

It sometimes asks for log in for  their newspaper subscription.  You can go to Google & get Whittier news in a different format - same articles!

### 1/5 — ADS

*2015-05-15*

The ads on this app are ridiculous. U can't scroll though articles without calling advertisers. VERY LAME

### 2/5 — Sign in

*2015-01-31*

Used to enjoy this app for local news but have not been able to read articles for some time. When i try to select an article it sends me to a sign in page. Ugh I deleted the app

### 1/5 — Not good

*2014-04-16*

Really a disappointing app. Most of the time it crashes or you have to watch lots of ads. There are so many better ways to get news than this piece of junk that you should avoid this at all costs.
