Ratings and reviews

This app used to be good but it keeps getting worse all the time. Things like not being able to scroll if you touch the area of an ad are annoying, but now they have gone too far. It's fine that there are some articles for subscribers only... but when they send out a news alert, but you can't view it unless you subscribe, that is too much. Or they send out alerts on stories that were published hours ago. Etc. This app is no longer a useful source for news. Too bad they ruined it.

Changing review to 1 star. When I attempted to cancel, the "Help" section states you can cancel under "Account Management", but in fact you have to contact customer service. Upon contacting them, I was told I have to provide a reason to cancel and cannot just state I want to cancel. Literally cannot sign in. I receive an error message when I try to sign in via Google. I can sign in on a browser, but not the app. Gonna have to cancel my subscription over this lol so frickin stupid

This is the paid version and it's not worth a penny. All of the content is repeated several times as you scroll down the app. It's just old news over and over. 3 or 4 stories a day, repeated. So many better news apps out there for Detroit metro news. Not informative at all.
