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Updates breaking features or causing content to be unavailable (e.g., obituaries, puzzles), and outdated home feed

Recent reviews

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.
