5/5Why i Am A Browns Fan
I am a 65 year old female who is a huge football fan. I watch the Browns because there are 5 LSU players on your team. But reading your website I have learned the traditions and the history of the Cleveland Browns. Even though I now live in Chicago and have lived ‘up north’ for over 30 years I find your city by the lake to be very much like the city by the river a town I was born in - Baton Rouge. You love your football as much as we Louisianians love our Tigers. But it’s more than that. It’s about pride for a team that has been on the losing end for so many years. Continue to shine in the moment. LSU suffered a tough loss over the weekend and after winning the NC in 2019 it’s a tough one to swallow but I love my Tigers as much as I am learning to love your browns. Thank you

1/5Jeff Chalfant
I have had season tickets since 1959 my dad first then me and I was finally excited for this year and I am so disappointed in them and after all the bad years and keeping the tickets I seriously think this may be my last I have been such a diehard fan and this year has probably been the most disappointing of all I am at the end with no hope left for now or the future for this team I could never chear for another team but the buckeyes and at least they bring me happiness on the weekends I thought with the talent they have there would be no way they could lose this weekend against Denver and they still found a way to lose

1/5Made everything unavailable
They changed the app to be subscription only to read any articles. This was always A decent app for the Browns news but they now want to charge money to read articles that you can read in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Did the same thing for Ohio State football so this app has just been added to the delete list of never using again

2/5Bummer
This app isn’t very good. The content of the app doesn’t seem to be within the app but rather it utilizes a browser from within the app. I don’t need a browns app that searches the internet for browns material. I can just open up internet app. Moreover, the pages don’t load or take a very long time. 2 stars because it’s clean looking and seems like it has potential.
