### 1/5 — Disgusting

*2024-08-17*

They are now charging people 12.99 a month to see the news. I’m deleting the app. Don’t get it, not worth it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2024-07-05*

I have a subscription. The app doesn't work and will not let me sign in, though I can on my comp with the same info. So, the app doesn't work.

### 2/5 — 2024 Major Update

*2024-04-16*

The update that occurred recently has only made the app worse.
More locked content, display/navigation not as user friendly

### 1/5 — Thumbs down to the upgrade

*2024-04-12*

Had this app on my phone for many years and now since the upgrade in 2024 - deleted it. App is now charging a subscription fee and isn’t user friendly either. No thanks.

### 1/5 — Go back to old app this update is terrible.

*2024-04-07*

Terrible app update was much better before not recommended at all.

### 2/5 — Older app

*2024-04-04*

I believe that the older app was more user friendly and you also could review obits…. The new app not so.
Regards

### 1/5 — Piece of Junk

*2023-04-06*

This only thing consistent about this app is how often it doesn’t work. And when you reach out to support the answer is remove and reinstall the app. And when you say you’ve done this they say you may have to do it several times.

### 1/5 — Obit issue

*2022-08-06*

Obits not loading correctly for over a week now

### 3/5 — Share button doesn’t work

*2022-02-28*

It has not  worked for a long time and the report a problem email is invalid.

### 1/5 — Issues when reading news

*2021-12-21*

For the most of time, the app won’t function properly, as you open a new article, it would automatically load another new page, which has the same content but extremely laggy, and eventually froze. Please fix it asap.
