Comments on THE BLADE for Android

★★★★★ Thomas Ferris · Jan 30, 2024
Reliable and readable. Like it better than my paper Blade
★★★★★ Susan H. Smith · Jan 21, 2023
Well. I have to say I really do like it. At first, I thought Oh NO. Lol, but it is so much easier to read than the actual paper Blade. I don't have to flip the pages to read a whole article. So it is much nicer than I imagined. I definitely do like it, and I give it a thumbs up.
★★★★★ 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.
★★☆☆☆ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ Mel Pommeranz · Oct 24, 2023
This app is a joke! I constantly am made to sign back in. Many times I also have to restart my phone to just get the app to open.
★☆☆☆☆ Michael Baas · Aug 24, 2025
This app does not work 90% of the time. It usually opens and doesn't get farther than a black screen, or it gets stuck with the message that it is downloading fonts. The only way I can get it to work is uninstalled and reinstall every time which takes up most newspaper reading time. It's a waste of the monthly subscription fee I'm paying.
★☆☆☆☆ Martin Extejt · May 16, 2024
I'm a subscriber. Even after logging in I cannot read the article I want on Facebook that you directed me to.
