Bridge Michigan Reviews

I've downloaded BridgeMichigan because I use Bridge news for Michigan coverage. After downloading, there is zero information that is populated. Meaning, it shows the COVID scrolling header but no news shows up. I can pull up the menu, but again nothing shows up when I change sections. Disappointed.

This is just a wrapper for their web content.

No ability to enter subscriber info, so you’re looking at a huge amount of screen real estate taken up by asks for money… same as the website.

I’m quite happy to pay for their great coverage, but the site and app may drive me away.

:-(

I do not like the fact that your so liberal. I thought you would be more conservative.

I’ve been waiting for Bridge to offer an app. It’s clearly in just the beginning stages of development, but the shell is operating and it looks like a good design. I’m eager to see the full product.

This is a good app for reading Bridge Michigan articles. The UX closely mirrors the website on both iOS and ipadOS, so the main difference is the lack of browser tabs and other browser related “noise”. Currently BridgeMichigan UX does not include sponsor blocks, though I suspect that will change. You can also save articles - though not sync them between devices.

BridgeMichigan lacks the ability to listen to audio versions of the articles and for me that demotes it from a 5 to a 4. Hopefully this feature is added in the future.

I would also recommend that BridgeMichigan developer double down on emphasizing a clean reading experience - currently you get bullet pointed “recommended articles” halfway through each article, these should be eliminated or kept only at the bottom of the article.

I have found Bridge Michigan reporting to be essential in my understanding of issues facing Michigan residents. With all the news sources available I subscribe to Bridge MI because their reporting is as accurate, precise and concise.

The Bridge Michigan app is my go-to source for a comprehensive overview of Michigan news.
Love the easy to use app.

Thank you for posting well-written content that is not negative or sarcastic in tone.

I downloaded today and find no issues. Stories and reports are well-organized by topic. The search bar had a bit of a lapse but not too bad.

Excellent answer to the question of how to prevent double voting..

I’ve been reading the Bridge and wishing for an app and it’s here! I will be reading a lot more articles and am very grateful for this lovely independent news source.
