2023-11-13	Ja*****	Horribly designed app. You can not read any articles witbout subscribing - which you dont find out until after you install. There are too many freely available local news sources such as the WLOX app to make this even worth the subscription. Dont waste your time with this.

2023-04-16	Ta*****	Happy to get my local news but very irritated that all embedded links open to a blank page every single time, without fail. My app is up to date. I even uninstalled/reinstalled in case mine had an issue but it still doesn't work. 😕

2021-08-11	To*****	This app is terrible on Android. The page keeps going blank when I try to read articles. Whoever put this together put absolutely no care into its stability.

2019-10-26	A *****	I live in Wisconsin and go to Biloxi for the winter. They have started to charge for their on line paper. I use this app so I know what is going to be happening when I am there I won't pay for it.
