Very informative and affordable at 4.99 a month. Not so much at 9.99 a month.

Has turned into nothing more than a liberal mouthpiece.

Every time you finish an article and hit the back button instead of going back to the place you were on the paper it starts all over at the top of the paper very annoying

This App works about half the time! Sucks! I cannot get the Advertisement to disappear so I can read the Front Page of today's Paper!

Where did all the photos go? I would rate higher, but this is aggravating.

Enjoying the app. Updates on local and national news is Great. Keeping up with local sports stories is very important to me. I would like to know wear I'm able to find the information concerning my membership payment options before the expire and I'm over charged.

The content is good, but I'm pretty sure that the red link color is an accessibility violation (WCAG 1.4.3 - Color Contrast). It is incredibly difficult to read for someone with normal vision like myself, I have to imagine that it's darn near impossible for those with low vision.
