## Observer & Eccentric Reviews in United States

### *---- "Poor programming"
They are unable to correctly tag the headlines of subscriber only articles.  They also do not ask the tough or logical questions.
I don’t think they believe cars have headlights
-- Aschober, 2025-10-25

### ***** "HTL"
I enjoy the local news
-- Mojo6.5, 2022-12-26

### ***-- "Messy Site"
I really like the content and local news. What I do not like is repetitiveness of stories. The same story headline is repeated in multiple places but only one actually links to the content. Occasionally some stories are outdated. I am using an iPad with the most recent iOS version but this is not new to this app.
-- QualityEngineer, 2021-08-12

### ***** "Enjoying the local news"
I am enjoying the local news updates from the surrounding communities. Some stories aren't reported elsewhere.
-- J7162, 2017-09-09

### ****- "News"
Not much

### ***** "Farmington Observer&Eccentric"
Great way to keep up with local news!
-- Badgolfnut, 2017-01-03

### ***** "Canton Observer&Eccentric"
I love Canton, MI. Moved to SC 2 years ago, but really enjoy being able to read about how my home town is doing from hundreds of miles away👍🏻😄
-- Lovecanton, 2016-11-26

### ***** "Love local news"
Way to keep up
