Do these developers actually use their app????

Okay, first, props they at least have an app. But what's the point if stuff doesn't work??? They only post a very few stories here. Those they post are good, it's a million times better than their mobile site. BUT..... 1. The developers or editors clearly never tested "breaking news." you can read the headline, and the first few words of the store, but nothing more and no link to the story. WTH??? 2. Hope nobody you love dies if their last name falls in the second half of the alphabet. They only show up through about L or M. AND, most of the obits from A to wherever it cuts off are just "in memorium" of people who died a year ago in 2011. Why put those here and not the current ones????? 3. If there is news breaking like a fire or accident, that doesn't seem to make it into the "breaking news" section, which is exactly the kind of stuff mobile users want. If you've got people tweeting it, hello, put it on your mobile app. Though I guess what's the point, if nobody can read the breaking news anyway.... I live here. I'm stuck with the Mercury as my local news source, but it's so hard to support them when they have an awful website, painful mobile browser, and a really promising app that has serious flaws that apparently the mercury doesn't care about. Frustrated again!
Nothing opens!

It would be nice if the articles actually opened so they can be read. What's the point of having an app that doesn't work? Constantly says "content is loading" then finally says after that "article no longer available" even though it was just published 2 hours ago!
Never updates

I have to delete and reinstall everyday and then only of I am lucky it will up date to current day. The next time I delete will be my last time to use this app. I travel and do like to keep up on area news. This app not working most if the time does not fulfill my expectations

This app stinks. It does not refresh when it should. I check it 2 to 4 times a day. It's a Friday and I'm still looking at the Wednesday news. They better do something soon to fix this.
