Ratings and reviews

So this is a news app, correct? Then why can't I find local news like the fire that happened last night in a local apartment building? So many times I've gone looking for news stories and can't even find anything about it. I responded to a reduced price for a subscription last year because I was tired of the paywall popping up when I wanted to read a story. Well, I canceled the renewal recently. Can't even locate obituaries in the app. Useless is too nice a word to describe this newspaper.

Liberal News Garbage. App hardly works. Stories are fluff pieces and cover nothing of importance going on in our city. Sad to see how bad this paper has become. I remember when I was younger I would look forward to reading this paper for the weekend happenings, no more is that the case. Check out Facebook groups they have local stories (that are based on facts and are fair and balanced) and info on what's going on around town. I'm surprised this paper and app are still around.

UPDATE I have to login to read each and every article and saved articles won't save. Dropped ⭐ Very frustrating. (Most app that have had a reboot in the last few months have been so disappointing with huge ugly tiles that look cluttered. This update makes the BH readable and looks like a news app should. The business news was Johnson County, Kansas, now doesn't work. Opinion rarely works. The tabs across the top don't line up. Looks better. Still a mess, price doubled. Maybe time to drop it.)
