I used to read some newsletters online and got so sick of the obvious political bias and ads. This news source is very non partisan, factual and actually does some great reporting on a variety of issues. I’ve learned so much about my new home state, and am a much more informed citizen thanks to this app.

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 the app UX does not include sponsor blocks, though I suspect that will change. You can also save articles - though not sync them between devices. The app 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 the app 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 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.

Bridge Michigan is about the people. The people who work at Bridge, the people who are in the articles and the people who read the reporting. The reporting is refreshingly nonpartisan and keeps me interested in read an entire article. Thank you Bridge.
