In the know. Having relatives still living in the area the Blade gives me info on what's happening up there, given the fact I live in the south.

★★★★☆ A Google User · Dec 4, 2013

Much Better smoother and faster now since recent update. Photos don't load very well but at least I don't have to open an article12 times for it to finaly load the article which was usually the wrong one. Fix the photo issue and 5 stars.

Everyday blade There is a free blade still my neighborhood doesn't buy the blade I could buy my own blade but thanx for an incredible app.

Toledo Blade app closes when you try to access the breaking news story. When trying to access the app through the icon a pop-up screen states the app closed abruptly. Please fix.

★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Jul 24, 2014

Barely worthwhile notifications If there are multiple notifications you lose them all when you click one. They don't always link the correct article to a notification and yoy rarely get the full headline from the notification. Not worth it to me.

★☆☆☆☆ David Stout · Nov 19, 2015

Old News The Blade doesn't update the content daily. Obituaries are not updated news articles are 2 and 3 days old. It appears that they have an App just to say they have one. Minimal effort is put into it. Shame on you !!
