## PennLive Reviews in United States

### ***-- "App freezes constantly"
Great new coverage, however, the app freezes after about 10 minutes of being open. Seems like it’s trying to download too many ads when this happens. Very annoying though when you can only read 3 articles before it freezes.
-- PhatPhuj, 2024-04-18

### *---- "Click bait app"
Poor performing app that is riddled with click bait misroutes for apps. Very, very difficult to use this app without numerous misroutes for sales, apps, & more. I am going to delete the app and just use a browser. Shame on PennLive for shoving blatant and unwanted sales in our faces.
-- Ebubman , 2023-09-14

### *---- "Sad"
This is as good as it gets for the HARRISBURG area for news. Old dated news stories show up in various sections. Crashes. Very odd navigation that’s not intuitive.  Renewing a subscription is a nightmare.  Various pricing in Ap vs Web site.  Ap and website don’t interact.  Charged multiple times for subscription.  Doesn’t keep you logged in.  Tap on story in Tweeter (X) and you need to relight in or worse Penn Live asks you to subscribe but goes no no log in option!
-- mvog!, 2023-09-04

### **--- "Can’t keep quite"
Google adds override and play their sound track even when muted.  Some articles have the same add multiple times and as you scroll to read it restarts at each instance.  So if you don’t want Google noise you need to turn the volume down to zero.  I understand the reason for advertising but let the sound mute mean no sound.
-- ingenero, 2022-06-22

### *---- "Poor APP update again!!!"
Again the App developers have failed to support older IPhones! Both the regular and football app no longer work on my IPhone 6 with the latest allowed IOS update.  I don’t think they realize that not everyone upgrades their phones every couple of years.  My IPhone works great except when trying to use the PennLive apps.
-- Desperate4News, 2022-03-22

### *---- "PennLive doesn’t work"
After updating my PennLive doesn’t work at all
-- review ID, 2022-03-18

### *---- "Opinionated garbage"
Penn live is nothing more than liberal Democratic garbage
-- liberallying, 2021-07-18

### *---- "Bring back the old app"
Don’t know why they screwed this app up so. It used to provide local news in a decent manner. Now it’s a hot mess! I’m deleting it!
I’ll have to try elsewhere I guess. Sad.
-- DHH65, 2021-02-16

### *---- "App Not Working"
I enjoy this APP however after the last update the app won’t open on my iPhone. I attempted to reload it and have had no luck even with a digital subscription.
-- jk312456789, 2020-12-23

### **--- "Not great"
New app is not an improvement. They removed half the sections, such as ”politics”.
-- StateProperty01, 2020-12-18

### *---- "Now Requires a Subscription"
I was fine with the excessive ads supporting this app in the past years I’ve been using it, but now they are charging $15/month to read articles. No thanks, definitely not worth it.
-- Jgc0307, 2020-11-04

### *---- "Good but"
I actually like Pennlive and would give them a five. I just don’t  like the idea of having to be continually coerced/bombarded into buying a subscription. They should sell a subscription when you download it.
-- Earlysb, 2020-09-09

### ***-- "App keeps asking to subscribe"
I have a valid subscription. I can’t view articles because it keeps asking me to subscribe. I have restored purchases and verified I have a subscription and still doesn’t work. Terrible app right now.
-- AlKems, 2020-07-10

### ***** "It’s a news app"
It really doesn’t do anything special. It’s a news app and it works pretty well.
-- ohheyitsn1ck, 2020-06-10

### *---- "Deleted"
I have used this app for many years and they just started charging 15$ a month to look at any articles. I liked the news from here but not willing to pay that so it is now deleted
-- lakeside2552, 2020-06-01

### *---- "Now a junk app"
This app use to be free but with latest updates they want paid. I don’t feel your big enough for payment and why I’m deleting your app. You have advertisements all over app now which I left go but guess they don’t pay your bills. I’ll stay with a real news source outside you since want to charge.
-- dbtech73, 2020-06-01

### *---- "Totally useless"
Pennlive wants $15/month for the crap they post? The least they could do is allow free access to the obituaries like the LDNews does. Otherwise, don’t bother downloading. Just go to Google and get it for free.
-- WestShoreGal, 2020-04-24

### ***** "Excellent Staff"
Great local news focused on central Pa.  We enjoy Nancy and her reporting. We need outspoken reporters on what’s going on in DC and around the world. The press must report the real truth and facts and restore democracy.
-- Beau's. Dad, 2020-02-10

### *---- "Fake news at it’s finest!!!"
If I could give pennleft a lower rating than 1 Star I would! It’s completely biased left wing opinions and copy and paste news stories! Filled with grammatical errors, if your opinion differs from them be prepared to have your comments deleted by the moderator!!! Now to add insult to injury they removed all comments on the app! They actually have the audacity to want 15.00 a month for this horrible app, I’ll be removing it asap not even worth it for free!
-- Gungnir 1488, 2020-01-29

### **--- "Login in problem"
I like the content.  What I don’t like is having to login every time I want to read the entire story.  Very frustrating.
-- Special deeeeeee, 2020-01-28
