User Reviews

This app is a pain to use. If you are on the web trying to click on a story you always have to go to the app to reopen it always have to click on your local newspaper this app is more of a pain than it is worth.

Functionality of obits area is poor. You can't just view obit by newspaper it ran in. Coverage of stories is incomplete compared to printed paper. Needs more work!
