| 2024-11-22 |  | | I approved the install. I don't know if the app was downloaded. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | The app has never worked well but today it asked me to log in, AGAIN, and I did. After a couple more pages it told me I needed to subscribe to continue. There was no way to continue. I removed from the device and have now reloaded and hope that I can again read the paper while signed into my paid account. |
| 2024-10-18 |  | | Can't cancel - beware!! Super easy to subscribe, but once you want to cancel there are error messages preventing you from cancelling to their overpriced service. Fix this!!! |
| 2024-01-28 |  | | Awful. You can purchase a subscription through buttons on their web page. But to cancel they make it difficult. Even though there is a canceled subscription option in the app. You just get a message to call to cancel. I called and the auto answer does give an option to cancel. When that was selected it answered I don't know if I can help you with that and then repeated to call during business hours. UnSubscribing should be as easy as subscribing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr |
| 2023-03-04 |  | | There are too many ads for something that you pay a subscription to. To make matters worse, the ads make the app user-unfriendly by limiting reading/user space and by also popping up when you try to get to a story. The app is also just overall clunky. |
| 2023-02-06 |  | | The app is not good. Very slow and unresponsive. Difficult to navigate. I'm on the 6 month trial for $1 and won't be continuing my subscription because of the status of the app. |
| 2023-01-10 |  | | Great app! Keeps me informed of Nebraska news while on the road. No limit on number of FREE news articles read like the Grand Island Independent does! Thank you very much!!! The last update: Notifications now get lost in the regular latest news posts, instead of going to the inbox........🙁 |
| 2022-12-18 |  | | Evidently there was a trial period which has expired. Now I have to $ub$cribe to continue reading. Sorry guys. Not in my lifetime. Too expensive with too much garbage advertising everywhere in this app, especially between the paragraphs of the article I'm reading. |
| 2022-09-17 |  | | I pay for the LJS sub, primarily to support local journalism. The app does let me log into that account but then still pushes ads at me? Absolutely not, I'll use the browser where ads are both removed because I pay the subscription and I can block them if they try anyway. Uninstalled. |
| 2022-06-13 |  | | The app has worked pretty well for me, with one notable exception. Any video content in the app will not play with sound. If I go to Fullscreen I can see a mute icon, but I cannot unmute. |
