## Review summary

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- Updates breaking features or causing content to be unavailable (e.g., obituaries, puzzles), and outdated home feed
