  1. [R11] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 5/5 · US Love it!: A great app for getting local and national news.
  2. [R35] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 4/5 · US Appreciate ch 13: I appreciate reading the important and up to date weather and news. If I want more detail I can always google another source. Ch 13 is concise and pretty accurate.
  3. [R65] Daily Mail 5/5 · US DailyMail + launching in USA was a God Gift!: I already loved Daily Mail’s reporting on the latest developments. But, I’m HOOKED on DailyMail + articles that come out, it’s next level juicy news, I just love them! I’m never getting rid of my subscription. After my promotion pricing, I’m happily willing to pay full price, it’s 1000% worth it!
  4. [R66] Daily Mail 3/5 · US Need Subscription to ready almost everything: I used to love DM but now they are charging a subscription fee if you want to read a lot of the articles. I understand a few articles buts it's becoming almost every other one. I can google it and get it for free!
  5. [R1] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 1/5 · US Ui issues: Would be nice to see the entire list of articles without having to tap hold and slide screen up because advertising is keeping the full screen from being displayed
  6. [R4] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 1/5 · US Downgrade: The “new and improved” app is not user friendly. It is hard to find things. The weather is a mess. The radar does the same loop over and over instead if a true 12 hour loop.
  7. [R62] Daily Mail 4/5 · US Love the DM: I love the DM but it jumps to the end of an article every time while I’m reading it. Many different phones and reinstalling app doesn’t help.
  8. [R70] Daily Mail 1/5 · US Paying for news?: Used to be a good news source. It was the perfect mix of nonsense and news. But charging to read half the articles and now the other half of your hard hitting “news” is just ads disguised as articles. Horrible.
  9. [R10] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 1/5 · US Does not open: I had this app and all of a sudden it quit working. I deleted it and reloaded it. It will not open !!!
  10. [R22] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 1/5 · US Doesn’t Work: Ever sense the last update I couldn’t open the app.. I would use it two or three times a day. But I don’t even try anymore.
  11. [R91] Daily Mail 1/5 · US Do Better DM: I downloaded this app as the Daily Mail website became so inundated with glitches and bugs. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the app was just as bad as the website. I have had multiple instances of being redirected to advertisements that I was scrolling past while reading articles, stories that will not load, and many times I can't even access the app at all. The most annoying gl
  12. [R112] Daily Mail 1/5 · US Mississippi: I am close to deleting this app solely because of the stupid Mississippi ad that won’t even let me scroll without opening a pop up. It’s constant and the only ad that does it. It might not be as bad if it wasn’t on every story at least 3 times. Fix that ad and I’ll fix my review.
  13. [R72] Daily Mail 3/5 · US Paywall: Too many articles behind the paywall.
  14. [R39] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 3/5 · US Too Slow To Load: I've had this app for awhile and since it has been changed, it has become a lot slower to load. I think the format is pretty good otherwise. I'm a big fan of WZZM and I had contacted them about the problem but nothing was done.
  15. [R51] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 1/5 · US Doesn’t work!!: This app does NOT work! It simply freezes. I delete the app and re-install it at least 2 or 3 times per week. I’v tried shutting down my iPhone 11 and restarting with the same freezing issue. I have removed and re-installed it TWICE today. I want to be hopeful it will work, but am giving up. BAH! Please fix this app!
  16. [R106] Daily Mail 1/5 · US Very Difficult to Cancel: I subscribed to the Daily Mail but less than 24 hours later decided to cancel and it has been a nightmare! In order to proceed, there is no “cancel” option on your account so instead they ask you to call a US number, which is where I am at, but when I tried, the number does not work where I live. They list other phone numbers, for the UK and Ireland, but I refuse to inc
