User reviews
App runs smoothly on my Google Pixel 3 phone. Articles open quickly and are easy to navigate. I actually prefer this app to the website!
It's great.
Well built and easy to navigate
Love the app and proud to support local newspaper. However I'm not able to load the "Feature" section where TU does local reviews. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, no pun intended
