    All the people complaining are using the free version Pay 5 a month which also supports good journalism and you get more ads                     Great App dahank
    They listened to complaints about the social media aspect but more and more ads are videos with sound that can t be closed until done Just a bad app     Continues to get worse Mstove
    would be a more pleasant sound than the screeching blasting high volume video advertising that hits you when you open this app and you can t avoid it can t turn it off do NOT download this app unless you love noise and ads     fingernails on a blackboard elder420
    I have been using this app for years and I now just deleted it off my phone TERRIBLE You have to watch a 30 second video to read every lame three paragraph news story I m sticking with isthmus and Channel 3000 for local news     TERRIBLE Leon John
    This app could be so great but instead it is incredibly disappointing It has too many pop ups and often closes for no reason The section will say Photos but there will be no photos in the link This app is an embarrassment to the paper Either do it right or not at all     Disappointing App Mad in Madtown
    The worst news app I have ever seen Bring back the old app Requires you to scroll thru all news articles no categories or menu Random push alerts from news that is weeks old Rewards points that are useless and annoying Cannot read entire articles in the app you have to click a link to open the article in safari     Terrible madisonnewsreader
    Gave it a try It s awful Bring back the old version     Hate the redesign MadForQualityApps
    What were they thinking with this update A newspaper isn t a social media app And I can t look at different categories of news I have to look at one big scrolling list of half screen sized pictures Stupidity     Just awful Dillon Wiesner
    I used the old app a lot to get to news and read comments This app gamifies news reading to earn points What am I 9 years old There also seems to be more sports than news at least in the last month I ve quit using this app and just use the web interface Please fix this app     Wish I could give it NO stars kmsgcmstech
    The new Madison app needs A LOT of work If you are looking for news good luck finding it here unless you want to see recipes old sports stories etc Example today is December 7th and I am getting news alerts from the app that That Russ Feingold leads Ron Johnson by 7 points Uhhhh the election was over a month ago and the outcome wasn t that Do yourself a favor and get your Madison news elsewhere Very disappointing     The Worst App On My Phone Avid Reader, San Diego
    I ve used this app since it was developed The new update was not a good thing Not user friendly When I get a notification for a breaking news you would think it would be at the very top of the page Nope you will have to scroll through many stories before finding it I gave it a honest try after the new update but ultimately deleted the app for others that are more news worthy     Disappointed Nickniels14
    Fire the developers for making you scroll for desired content rather than providing a menu for local news sports etc Old app was glitchy but effective This app will be deleted     Downgrade RichardGozinya
    Very disappointed with update No categories I like to see different sections obits sports etc Update makes the app not functional     Disappointed 1st iPhone
    This new version won t even show you news until you give them your personal information Just skip it Earlier reviews I understand that advertising helps support news organizations but reasonable subscription prices would be my preference Often when scrolling through the list of stories a full screen ad appears instead Worse frequently a URL directing Safari to open the App Store is opened while scrolling or even when switching back to the app from Safari rendering it unusable Don t waste your time visit their web site instead Prior review In this app clicking on a news story often opens an adjacent advertisement instead Hopefully that s just a bug to be fixed     Don t Bother Anton Rang
    I am not interested in points And the new appearance annoys me I don t want large pictures or to have to scroll longer through unorganized stories I have used this app for years I think I m done     Irritating Mpkoss
    This was a great news app After this last update it totally blows I can t even find what I want Too many pictures No sections It seems to have become a shopping app and I m not interested in that Very disappointing     Goodbye Mxplrt45:2
    Ditto most of the comments here about this version of the app There is absolutely no organization to the news presentation and no ability for the user to include exclude specific categories No obits I enjoy the large photos but there are no photo credits so you can t tell the source I would take the old app back in a nanosecond     App goes from annoying to useless Forrest Jr.
    Lost ability to separate out sports news from local or world news no search no obits No use The bigger images are nice but the rest including and especially the game ification is bad Can t seem to adjust font size Old version was buggy but this is no longer a news app     Upgrade included some very bad decisions sparrow31
    First I don t need to be awarded points especially those that will never be redeemed for reading the news Knowledge gained is reward enough But that annoyance aside how do you create an entirely new platform that leaves out a categorical menu e g Latest Local Sports I used to use the previous version of this app multiple times a day This annoying feed style version however is only useful to those who like to endlessly scroll with no particular destination in mind     News as a Roulette Wheel PlanetThird
    Don t update you will be disappointed Navigation is terrible no organization huge pictures and wasted space forcing you to scroll forever duplicate stories embedded click bait lists did I make it clear zero organization App is useless now     Awful update Mjprime
    Get point for sharing the news and get free rewards Got to have a login to earn rewards Great app                     Great update Mixdown04
    Looked at this app multiple times a day for news Now like someone else had mentioned it s more of a social media game than a source of news I need to be able to search keywords for news that pertains even more to me than the headlines There should be different subjects such as local sports obits etc now this app is borderline useless     Disappointed Hella Baked Goods
    What a deep deep disappointment All saved news articles wiped away How many points for that     Erased all saved news articles RJT v1.6.10
    Completely ruined Will never use again     Ruined the app Cc1038
    Requiring a login For a news site Time to use the Channel3000 app exclusively     Requires login use Channel 3000 instead THETAD45
    I came here for news not some sort of social media game This app is a joke now I ve moved on to other Madison news apps that care about reporting rather than games     Awful PMK222
    Can t use without creating an account No thanks delete     Required login is a deal breaker JMWild81
    The new version contains no obits Best part of the paper these days Glad it is free     Incomplete Kris10May
    I have been using this app for years to get local news for Madison The app has always been a little buggy and had issues from update to update It was disappointing when they added the advertising but I understand needing to pay for it Now you are required to create a user account to use the app No thanks I have many news apps and none of them require a user login to read the news That s the end of the line for me     No longer a user after 5 years jpropson
    The ads were annoying but the last week it crashes immediately upon opening So deleting     Ads and crashes BuckyGirl12345
    Have used for at least year and half Often has good local stories but yes the ads and instability of the app should be pretty shameful for the developers Time for me to remove and find another news outlet     Freeze and Close DJRun30
    I used to really dislike this app as the older reviews testify to It now has a lot less pop ups and more user friendly                     Excellent updated app Tshca
    I should have read all the other negative reviews before downloading this and seeing firsthand what everyone else has already said this garbage app is bloated with ads ads ads Better to use their mobile website with an ad blocker     Don t download this adware soapergem
    The app keeps crashing Please send out an update to help fix the issue     Crashing Annenbj02
    Pop up ads are terrible Can t get through an article w o multiple forced links to App Store The current ad is a picture of someone getting plastic surgery on their face It s so gross I can t use the app Done using till there is an update     Pop ups are terrible froglvr
    App frequently freezes and opens to ads even when they are not clicked on     Freezes knnagel
    Pop up ads Auto play ads Ads that act like you clicked even though you didn t Ads that cause the entire app to freeze It s pathetic when an app doesn t work simply because it s been loaded with ads Somewhere in Madison an app coder is silently cursing out management because they ve forced him to turn his app into advertising trash     Ads ads ads 11oops
    Mobile app not kept up with technology and inconsistent with posting capabilities found on website or other similar applications Since one of the two newspapers is an online only it appears they have little interest in existence        Medeocre app
    Love this app notifications continue to work great but app crashes every time opened to read headlines Crashes occur on iOS 71 beta              Best local app but constant crashing
    Hard to believe but its gotten worse Now you dont even have to hit on an ad which are insidiously placed WAAAAY TOO LARGE and in between articles you wish to click on and the app gets HIJACKED to an ad many many times Click on the X to get rid of the ad and it comes back multiple times This is very annoying Fix it Update weeks later Still not fixed FIX IT NOW Update even more weeks later STILL NOT FIXED FIX IT NOW MONTHS LATER STILL NOT FIXED SO IM DONE WITH YOU BYE BYE     Its Adtacular
    I understand that advertising helps support news organizations but reasonable subscription prices would be my preference Often when scrolling through the list of stories a fullscreen ad appears instead Worse frequently a URL directing Safari to open the App Store is opened while scrolling or even when switching back to the app from Safari rendering it unusable Dont waste your time visit their web site instead Prior review In this app clicking on a news story often opens an adjacent advertisement instead Hopefully thats just a bug to be fixed     Ads autoopen Safari App Store
    What happened to the Food Section in the last update Its gone It doesnt show up on the Home screen the More screen or the Edit screen Bring it back Being it back and Ill put you at 5 Stars        Wheres the Beef
    Slow terrible interfacefrustrating popups randomly take you out of the the app to some link you didnt click This is an example of how an app shouldnt be designed built and executed The people who made this and support it should be ashamed     Looks as awful as it performs
    Other than that the app is just fine D     Photos cant be seen in panoramic view
    When ever you go into an article it force closes     Force closes on iPhone 5
    I like the layout of this app the most of any of the local news apps I have tried although I really wish there was a way to pay to remove the ads Tons of articles and information not much for videos 6 videos in the last 4 weeks but thats OK with me I really appreciate the uncluttered text focused design Unfortunately I am unable to access the Most Read articles When I click on the Most Read tab I get the following error Content access error Although you have network access not content could be retrieved at this time This could be because the service the application is trying to reach is down or because your network isnt configured to talk to the Internt at large I know that my network is configured to talk to the Internet at large as I do so in many apps all day long Therefore what service is the application using that is down constantly Once I dismiss the error I see the same list of articles that was in the latest tab although the most read tab is highlighted making it appear that I am seeing that content Other than that error I really like this app and the content              My favorite local news app so far
    If I could give zero stars I would The previous version while not the best was at least useable This version is beyond annoying who needs more frustration on a daily basis     The latest update stinks
    Love the slideout feature                 Great app
    You try and scroll down and all of a sudden you booted to some ad website I didnt click on the ad Must be hurting for money if they are getting money from advertisers with bs clicks     Forced ads
    This update deleted the link to the Editorialopinion section Its also missing from the Settings so you cant put it back It deleted the custom tabs in my toolbar and replaced them with two links to their classified and their deals section All part of their plan to dumb down the news completely Ill celebrate when they go bankrupt     Even worse than before
    Immediately crashes when openedplease fix     Crashes
    Used to work okay but now it closes every time I try to open an article Please fix        Come on
    Every time its updated it gets a little worse     Just Awful
    I agree with the other reviews You cannot even scroll through the articles without the app closing and some bizarre website opening Total junk     Worthless
    I used to like this app but lately it has become more and more of an ad factory Taking me out of the app automatically to an ad website when I am trying to browse the headlines means I delete your app from my phone     Worse and worse
    After updating the app crashes on opening     Crash
    This app is pretty good for what it does displaying newspaper content in an organized fast easy to use manner              Functionally very good
    Had to delete it Pop up ads to offer to install apps from the app store became so annoying I couldnt even read a whole paragraph For me it is better to get unbiased news from google anyways     Pop up ads annoying takes you to App Store every 30 seconds
    Welcome back to the no touch autoforward to stupid ads version of the already most pathetically hopeless app on the Internet Sometimes I download the app just to get the satisfaction of deleting it     This app remains worthless
    App crashes almost every time I access and wont allow navigation to highlighted links        Crashes
    The Food section was so entertaining and its no longer therebig disappointment     Not a fan of the update
    Ads frequently cause the Apple app store to open without user interaction This prevents one from reading news articles the ostensible purpose of this app     Verges on Unusable
    Sections for food movies etc are still available in the app and other new categories have been added The Home screen tabs now swipe right and left to reveal more categories Its not very apparent though and we will improve that in the next release              Navigation has changed
    Whoever was the genius behind the latest app update should be FIRED I cant even read a story before the App Store pops up with another stupid app to buy What the hell is with you This is not an acceptable user experience so you can kiss my usage and viewership of your network goodbye     NEVER USING AGAIN
    Just scroll down the list of headlines to reveal endless pop up ads opening in new windows Good app if all you like is ads and not news     ENDLESS POP UP ADS
    Started out fair in earlier versions The App has a unpredictable and strange way of selecting articles to display Dont accidentally touch an ad or youll end up stuck in a neverending circle of leaving the App to go to the ad in a browser There is much less content available these days Today the App wont stay open Time to delete     Getting Much Worse
    I actually only got this to be able to read the obituaries as the WSJ does such a better job with them than the Milwaukee Journal I dont see them anywhere on this app Where are they        Obits
    App has been crashing like crazy lately I have not been able to open and read any articles lately Normally this is a very good app     Crashes
    Force close on iPhone 5 when opening an article     Crap
    It doesnt matter if you tap it or just touch it while youre scrolling if you place a finger on or around a banner ad this app will immediately kick you off and launch Safari to take you to the adpaid destination I understand advertising pays but this is the equivalent of stealing I wonder if your advertisers know the majority of their hits are mistakes from frustrated people who immediately log off     Dont even touch an ad banner
    A simple scroll of the headlines launches a hidden link to an ad Im trying to read the news and suddenly Im in the App Store where Im prompted to download Clash of Kings MadisonDotCom should be called MadisonDotCon a shameful and unethical app     Garbage
    Pauses any musicaudio playing in another app as soon as you open it Makes it significantly less likely that Ill use the app regularly     High jacks audio out when opening
    This app used to be ok Now it just launches questionably appropriate ads spontaneously Should be banned from the Apple App Store     Terrible
    I agree with other reviewer Annoying ads wont stop loading Convenient app but they should fix that problem           Could be better
    The most recent update to the format of the app is frustrating When I try to read the comments the article always flips to the next one must be the way my thumbs work           Good news bad update
    Whenever you try to open an article the application automatically closes Please fix     Constantly force closes
    Not a very wellcrafted app and the user experience has gradually become more userhostile Id say look elsewhere but it seems all our local media are incapable of making a decent app It says a lot about how much you value your readers when the only notes on the last update were Updates analytics Heres an update for your analytics Ive had enough of interstitial ads ads that screw up scrolling the story list and frequent crashes and my usage is now zero Good luck I guess        Content ok but
    I just downloaded the newest update which does not work well It logs me out gives me screen that are too tiny to read and will not expand I am using an iPhone with OS 6 current version I am unhappy with how it performs     Update produced problems
    The latest update is terrible Any article with a comment crashes the app Use to be half way decent But I have removed it from my phone And two adds on a page is that really needed     Couldnt find a way to tell you of your bug
    Please fix this Its driving me crazy Every time I open an article crash     Keeps crashing
    I liked the tab feature at the top of the page instead of the side menu           Missing the tabs
    The latest update keeps crashing the app The ads in the middle of the list is horrible but I learned to overlook them The ads on the article page that continue to change are much more difficult to overlook When they refresh you get the spinning loading icon this happens continuously and distracts me from the articlemaking it very difficult to read the story     Getting Worse
    This app attempts to install other apps games and also randomly brings up the web browser to bizarre sketchy advertisement sites which for all I know could be malware or malicious     DO NOT INSTALL
    This app craps the bed more frequently than a frat boy on taco night     Trash
    Anytime you try to email a link it takes you to an email but there is no send button not can you cancel it Only solution is to delete the App and reinstall Infuriating     App doesnt work anymore
    The ads have completely taken over I can rarely make it through an article without having the Apple Store open when I have not clicked on an ad Popup ads are beyond an annoyance and allowed bottom of screen ads mimic standard iPhone UI Im deleting and will find my news somewhere else     Ads have taken over cannot read without App Store selfopening
    This program crashes almost daily Some day it works great and then the next few days it force closes If you are a liberal and like your news lopsided towards your own views this is the app for you when it works     Does not work and bias
