Comments on THE BLADE for Android

★★★★★ Mike Hagan · Jun 27, 2022

The paper is easy to read, and convenient because I travel a lot. Always get my local news right on my phone.

★★★★☆ Karen J-W · Jun 18, 2026

I finally figured out how to stop the loading fonts' fiasco. On my android phone I have to use the close all function and tap the Blade app again and digital edition loads immediately. It's stupid to have to do this but what can you do? I need the local news

★★☆☆☆ Fred Kujawa · Mar 1, 2024

When the app was first loaded, I could read the Blade like a newspaper, section by section. Then one day it changed, and now I just see selected highlights from each section.

★★☆☆☆ Marge Stefanski · Nov 24, 2025

Spins and spins and constantly wants to upload fonts. Have yet to read one addition of The Blade. Not worth the $3 charge.

★☆☆☆☆ Willie Loper · Aug 1, 2022

Every time I click on the app. I get a black screen. I have to uninstall and start the process all over again. Which is putting in all my information each time.
