Easy to read with vital information for everyone…well written…i totally agree!

Always Informative with Interesting Info!

They claim it's while they improve app. I've seen Yahoo say the same thing years ago and comments never came back. I'm sure it's the same case here as Patch couldn't handle the occasional criticism in the reader comments. Lame.

I have been using the Patch app for a number of years. In fact I even registered an account in order to share my thoughts to the articles that interested me. For a while it was fun. But that changed when there was a sharp rise in both political comments on articles that had no connection to politics. That and the increase in the comments by bigots. It started to remind of the nonsense I’ve viewed on social media which I’ve stepped away from. Now that this option has been removed I can now focus on the articles without worrying about the ignorant commentary being added to it. Hopefully it will stay this way.

Patch claims to have removed reader comments while they improve the app. This seems very disingenuous because they could’ve left reader comments on while they made their improvements. So it seems Patch has become just another news aggregate site. The reader comments were a very important reason, most readers went on the Patch. Removing reader comments has made the patch, a shell of its former self. Local news with local comments is now gone. I am sure readership is way down and will continue to go down until they remedy this situation, by turning reader comments back on .

When will you let us reply to an article?! I got some interesting things to say! 😈

Mark Hand is a terrible reporter who thinks that inserting his misguided opinions is more important than reporting the news.

I find Patch very informative. I subscribe to several different areas so I can keep track of things going on where my family and friends live around the state.
