The puzzles are chalk and the pop culture articles define what defines Americana. -- marneemusic, 2026-03-27 ### *---- "Fed Ups" I am a long time subscriber for People magazine. I installed the app when it was released. I subscribe to the emails, including People Royal, which is a misnomer. In the email, I click on an article I wanted. I’m taken to the app and have to click on open. I do that, and like today, I cannot find the article I want to read. Is this a bait and switch? Is there a secret way I can read why Zendaya is going to disappear for a while? Why can’t I see it in the email or the app? Please someone tell me how to do it. That’s why the app is more of a pain than a benefit. -- Jagsfan500, 2026-03-27 ### ***** "Reading all the beautiful reviews" Yes, I love reading all your articles and research you do on you’re my go to source when I wanna learn things about the things that’s going on in the world -- Donna Duc, 2026-03-25 ### ***** "Puzzels" Love love love it. Need more than 1 a day. -- Nana #9, 2026-03-24 ### ***** "People is amazing!" People always has the most current and up to date information on current events, and celebrity news is always on point! Thanks People! -- Firefighter’s Darrell, 2026-03-15 ### ****- "Extra Steps, but Good Stories" I’m forever clicking on the People app to get to an appealing story, only to land on the app’s home page. Then I must select either “Update” or “Open”, two extra steps I don’t want to take. When I finally reach the front page of People itself, I enjoy selecting the story I originally clicked! The stories themselves are enjoyable to read, but I’d appreciate a faster, more streamlined process to access stories. -- pamas., 2026-03-11 ### *---- "Doesn’t open properly" When I get emails on app articles the app never opens. I get sent to the download page even though the app is installed. And I miss the people magazine reader app. I hate the mobile version -- Bludvl82, 2026-02-28 ### ***** "Pop culture PEOPLE" Go to celebrate celebrities -- Debra S Talley, 2026-02-06 ### *---- "Censorship borderline Totalitarianism!" Still get stuff from them even though I thought I blocked them I won’t put up with their nonsense anymore; their censorship is ridiculous! They are definitely pawns in the hands of the lunatic liberal Left which means they disqualify themselves as journalists by doing that. They do not allow open discussion they do not allow even the most inane posts from me, a Conservative. I’ll get deactivated re anything that comes out of my mouth! I’m deactivated! They don’t care. It’s like they have a hit list of anyone but liberals. PEOPLE can go to hell for all I care now. 🫠🫠🫠 -- skbn254, 2026-01-22 ### *---- "Doesn’t work well on IPad" The puzzles keep giving me an error on my iPad. Can’t even use it as a guest. Have to uninstall -- vbjeepgorl76, 2026-01-12 ### *---- "I hate the new concept" If it ain't broken why change it -- CABB77, 2025-12-31 ### *---- "People APP nothing like magazine" This terrible app, very confusing to know whether to go up & down or left & right. What is the point of this App? -- Europe50, 2025-12-28 ### *---- "Horrible" I’ve read People Magazine since I was a kid (I’m 43 now). It’s always been a reliable source and a magazine I enjoy reading. I am super disappointed they decided to add “comments” to most articles. What is this… social media? I enjoy scrolling to the bottom of an article to see related articles and most times I’m forced to read comments. Why? Most of the comments are people who have absolutely nothing better to do in life, arguing and saying rude, irrelevant and entitled things. I personally don’t use social media for that exact reason, and I’m proud of that. But then I’m forced to read this toxic culture I try to avoid on my favorite magazine. I hate it. Please get rid of comments! And stop using AI for articles or learn to proofread! -- SamIAmAGreenBayFan, 2025-12-24 ### ***** "The games are super fun" I never cared for jigsaw puzzles but I can’t stop playing Pieces. I love the way the pieces snap together. It’s very satisfying and it’s a great way distract yourself while keeping your brain engaged for a few minutes. I wish there was a “hard mode” where you had to rotate the pieces 90 degrees at a time, kind of like how you rotate pictures on your phone. -- CM-bk, 2025-12-15 ### *---- "Hate this app" When I get an email from People & click on “Read More” I am sent to the app that I already have & not to the article. I already have the app & a registered email address but it doesn’t let me read the article referenced in the People email. This is too aggravating so I will have to unsubscribe from these emails as they are useless & aggravating! -- NC-Girl, 2025-11-25 ### *---- "No longer works" Today I was prompted to sign in suddenly, which I don’t know why is necessary. “Continue as guest” does not work and neither does anything else for that matter. Was fun while it lasted. Unreal how it doesn’t even work AT ALL now. Guess I’ll delete. -- MidwestGurl93, 2025-11-25 ### ***-- "Che-che’s" To many notifications!!!! -- CHE-CHE 06, 2025-11-13 ### *---- "Awful" The new format horrible. Please bring back the old format -- Cocolucywednesday, 2025-11-08 ### *---- "Teasers" This app teases all kinds of articles but I have never seen the complete article. Waste of time. -- marble&#, 2025-11-06 ### **--- "App not working" For the weeks since Selena Gomez got married that is all I am able to see and read on the app. Would like to see and read all the other stories which are sent to my email. -- jackielud, 2025-10-29 [View all PEOPLE reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to PEOPLE - [The Economist: News & Analysis](https://apptail.io/app/the-economist-news-analysis-Tbm/united-states) - [MIT Technology Review](https://apptail.io/app/mit-technology-review-Jajc/united-states) - [Foreign Affairs Magazine](https://apptail.io/app/foreign-affairs-magazine-pljc/united-states) - [The Juggernaut](https://apptail.io/app/the-juggernaut-sBHj/united-states) - [MAGA - Trump Tracker App](https://apptail.io/app/maga-trump-tracker-app-mGip/united-states) - [India Currents News](https://apptail.io/app/india-currents-news-KSfu/united-states) - [Curate News](https://apptail.io/app/curate-news-oWuv/united-states) - [Chase - Summarised News](https://apptail.io/app/chase-summarised-news-ptKv/united-states) - [The Source News](https://apptail.io/app/the-source-news-nCax/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
