## News Break Reviews in Canada

### ***** "‘Fast’ news"
Don’t have time to comb through the paper to read what you are most interested in, use news break / breaking news to quickly target your ‘must see now’ articles.
-- Jazzband66, 2024-10-30

### ***-- "Good Not Great"
App is great as a news reader but search is spotty and some news stories have a delay getting into the app (I just looked for a news story published 3 years ago and it’s not coming up, even searching just based on the reporter’s name). For what we pay for an annual subscription we should have news stories a available at the same time they’re originally published.
-- Michelle of Canada, 2024-07-30

### **--- "Newsbreak Broken"
The breaking news segment of the app seems to work fine, the NewsBreak area not so much. There have been articles kept in this area for months at a time without recent content added. Recently this area doesn’t load anything for the last two days. As a digital experience it is subpar.
-- 874Reader, 2024-03-08

### *---- "News Break"
Plagued by old articles that never get deleted……..well over one year. Please fix. Thank you.
-- C771477, 2024-01-28

### *---- "It doesn’t work"
You can access the breaking news section but that is all that works. Many other options ( local, sports etc) but they never open. Ever.
-- the Stauch, 2024-01-14

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
Downloaded and all I get is cannot connect to server. App doesn’t work at all.
-- Dk3206, 2023-12-08

### ***-- "Poor tagging"
In the News Break section there are articles that have been there for over six months. Other articles don’t show up in the right place or are important to find. I like the concept but there’s room for improvement
-- Nutimikgirl, 2023-11-20

### **--- "Breaks a lot & sometimes has news several days old"
As the title indicates. And Breaking News section contains day old news at times. No way to force a refresh of news.
-- Mr Q2, 2023-11-05

### ***** "Five Stars"
Visual appealing and easy to use. Plus, great photos and great articles.
-- Fleetfooted Jones, 2023-08-19

### ***** "News"
I love having easy access to local news and events.
-- Sarah Legoupil, 2023-07-16
