Please update this app - it makes my phone freeze, it is almost unusable with the ads, which seems crazy since I pay a subscription and still have ads.

I can get everything I want from my tv. Why would I add $10/mo to my already high bills. It doesn’t make sense. Bye!

Remember when you could read for free? Recall posts that were 2-3 sentences long and full of grammatical errors that were not updated? Its been a few years and now they require you pay for most of the content. The few articles worth reading aren’t worth paying for. Same writing issues exist. I find and read it all for free on the internet and do not subscribe to this ridiculous ad-filled garbage.

Disappointing because there is decent content, Syracuse Orange basketball and local area news and events. So I became a subscriber for a couple years and I frequently was not allowed access to subscriber content. After repeated requests for assistance with no response/results I cancelled it. No great loss as I get just as good Syracuse Orange sports news from Troy Nunes Magician for free.

Love the app but blinking ads major it unusable. Yes it gets my attention. No you cannot turn them off.

I don’t think this app has enough ads and paywalls. Maybe you could add a few more, just so that when I’m reading one of the 2 free access ads, they pop up and interrupt my attempt at finding news.

While I’m scrolling through a story.

Pay for a subscription then be constantly hounded for your login and password and then get error messages even though you saved the info and you’re sure it’s correct. Go around in circles for hours. Frequently crashes. App design matches the level of journalism with typos and spelling and grammar errors galore.. and of course filthy, trashy clickbait ads. Apple, you are equally responsible for allowing this abomination!

Still very buggy. Share button only works sporadically, “done” button broken. They fixed the bug where clicking a link if a story was open wouldn’t get you there, but now once you’re there you have to force quit to get the page to close. It’s 2021 people, high school kids are coding apps more elegantly than this. Luckily the shoddy appsmanship matches the shoddy journalism perfectly so no unrealistic expectations. Icing on the cake you have to log in over and over and over. I guess they’re worried if someone steals and unlocks my phone they won’t have to pay for poorly conceived, poorly written, and poorly edited stories about local restaurants going out of business?

Even with a subscription I am seeing too many ads. It slows down the app.
