User Reviews

User reviews consistently cite performance and reading disruption: slow loads and frequent freezes, a flood of ads, and heavy paywalls that lock most content behind a subscription. Navigation and feature stability deteriorate after updates, with missing content like obituaries and puzzles and a cluttered, confusing layout. Some users value Michigan-focused reporting and the idea of supporting journalism via subscriptions, but overall the app’s usability and ad experience need significant improvement to match the quality of its reporting.
Pros
  • Great coverage of Michigan news
  • Long-standing app with historically solid journalism (valued by long-time users)
  • Support for journalism through subscriptions (viewers willing to pay to sustain reporters)
Cons
  • Excessive and intrusive ads (including bottom ad bars) that slow reading and disrupt puzzles/content
  • Very slow performance with long load times, frequent freezes and unresponsiveness
  • Paywall gating most articles behind a subscription and concerns about price/access
  • Navigation/UX instability (difficulty switching sections, sections not opening, features missing)
  • Updates breaking features or causing content to be unavailable (e.g., obituaries, puzzles), and outdated home feed

Huge fail and no doubt why this media has failed . Click bait on most stories and then you get the paywall. Very liberal and anti Trump/America First hack reporting. Every story/event they want to charge you for is always available for free elsewhere. The UK based Daily Mail will have better coverage on local news events than this steaming pile of waste called MLIVE!

Like others say, used to be great but for last 9 months or so it takes forever to load, crashes and is very slow. Must be their way of trying to force subscriptions.

Gets progressively worse with each update. It won’t load without numerous attempts. If it does load, it will crash while looking at an article. There is no way I would subscribe to this nearly useless app.
