User Reviews

Users praise Husker Extra for comprehensive, up-to-date Husker coverage, engaging podcasts, free article access, quality writing, and cross-device convenience. The top drawbacks are a costly paywall, persistent stability and update issues, UI/UX limitations (no iPad landscape, readability issues), and missing features such as background podcast playback. Overall, the content is valued, but pricing and reliability concerns limit satisfaction.

Pros

All Husker coverage in one place with up-to-date news across sports
Podcasts are entertaining and a valued feature for Husker fans
Content remains freely accessible with no strict limits on free articles
High-quality writing and coverage from good writers
Cross-device accessibility (works well on iPhone/iPad) and convenience for out-of-state fans

Cons

High subscription price / paywall makes the app less attractive compared to free sources
App stability and maintenance issues (outdated for years, broken parts, loading/login problems)
UI/UX problems (portrait-only on iPad, text not fitting, readability hindered by ads)
Missing features like background podcast playback (and occasional feature gaps)

Husker Extra has been using the same Husker History Highlight of Jerry Tagge’s national championship winning touchdown from 1971 for nearly a year now. There’s so much are so many other worthy history highlights that could be uncovered with just a small amount of research. I remember when journalists took pride in content and attention to details like spelling and grammar.

The app hasn’t been updated in 2 yrs. So many broken parts to the app that makes it difficult to use.

Used to be my favorite app for Huskers news. After the update, someone got greedy and decided it is no longer free. If your willing to pay it is good for Husker news. Not me tho since there is simply just google searches.
