Comments on The Blade for Android

★★★★☆ A Google User · Feb 5, 2014

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 27, 2013

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.

★★★★☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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 !!

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Apr 9, 2014

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.
