User Reviews
Pros
- Provides regional and local news coverage, especially Michigan news.
- Good source of sports news and updates.
- Content is appreciated when accessible, including subscriber content via the website.
Cons
- App frequently crashes, freezes, or locks up after updates.
- Notifications do not link to the correct articles; clicking pushes users to the home page instead of the notified story.
- Subscriber-only content often inaccessible within the app despite logged-in status, even after reinstalling or caching fixes.
- Articles are truncated within the app, requiring users to use the web browser for full content.
- Many articles require a subscription, with poor value perceived and many stories behind paywalls.
- Sharing functionality is broken, only sharing photos not full articles.
- Search function does not work properly, making it hard to find past or specific articles.
- App interface is jumpy with automatic scrolling and intrusive large photos or pop-up ads that disrupt user experience.

Junk app. Can't select City I live in news.

I want desperately to utilize this app. It is unusable. Local news is important, and I don't mind paying for it. But I should be able to access the content I pay for with relative ease on my phone, and this app/the mobile web browser make it nearly impossible to do so.
