An excellent source for Michigan statewide news
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.
Good reading app missing a key feature
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.
Easy access to stories
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.
Great News Source
The Bridge Michigan app is my go-to source for a comprehensive overview of Michigan news. Love the easy to use app.
Offers no value
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. :-(
Promising start
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.
