Y70%
by Y####:

Doesn't work. Crashes. Only loads sports section

G70%
by G####:

Not ready for prime time. No navigation within the app, no search function. Why hasn't this been taken down and fixed and then made available?

Z70%
by Z####:

App immediately crashes, is completely useless, don't bother downloading

Z70%
by Z####:

The app keeps crashing whenever I try to use it. I'm deleting it.

A70%
by A####:

It worked yesterday and is useless again today. Total joke. Shut it down totally at this point.

Z70%
by Z####:

App keeps closing on me...had to uninstall it. And u cannot comment on the articles like on the website. Very boring.

E70%
by E####:

Does not work. Keeps telling me I reached my limit for the month even though I am a subscriber.

Z70%
by Z####:

So many problems with this app. Can't pull up sections mist of the time, and when it does work, there are only one or two to choose from.

L70%
by L####:

App now only shows "sports" as the only section of the newspaper.

Z70%
by Z####:

App is a joke! Sections never work and never breaking news stories

Z70%
by Z####:

App works fine provided that you are using Android 6.0. My Nexus 7 only updates to Android 6.0, however my phone uses Android 7.0, and this app only loads the sports section. So obviously the developers here have to get up with the real-time issue of the Android operating system.

O70%
by O####:

Does anyone actually test this app? All the sections except for sports have disappeared.

Z70%
by Z####:

I think its horrendous in a word. In Everyway shape and form. I don't I need to explain because I know you know why.

Z70%
by Z####:

This crashes more often than any other app I have ever used. Update: I wish I could give this app negative stars.

Z70%
by Z####:

Crashes repeatedly. I'm not an app developer so I don't know what goes into developing an app but the same comments submitted months ago are still problems. I'm a subscriber so I pay for access to this paper. It's disappointing to have such a bad app for so long.

J70%
by J####:

So the app is fine for the most part. But I get notifications for headlines of articles I want to read, but when I click those notifications, it will go the article then the app crashes and I can't read it (100% of the time). Then the notification disappears and when I go into the app to find the article I can never find it because there's no search feature.

Z70%
by Z####:

I wanted to report that the only section that shows is sports, but I see from other comments that that's been an issue since at least AUGUST! This is as bad as the website.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app is a disaster. I would sure like to count on this for navigating local news. Is there any correspondence whatsoever as to some form of resolution? I'm about to delete this if I can't see progress soon. It's 2018. Smaller towns have better functioning apps.

Z70%
by Z####:

Redesign is a bust. Crashes constantly. It is now unusable. Before it started crashing constantly, I noticed it has a more modern look than prior version...but getting rid of the super easy filter option when within sections is a huge miss! That was the best feature of the prior app version. I don't want to scroll through Jazz vs Clippers or AHL Playoff storylines before getting to what I care about. All in all...an Epic fail.

W70%
by W####:

Keeps crashing , cant select a subsection. If i just want Eagles news i cant get it. How can they get this so wrong ?

B70%
by B####:

Used to be my go-to app new format is terrible have to scroll scroll through all articles I don't want to read to find the ones that I do and since 4:27 I can't even open an article without the app crashing please fix this

P70%
by P####:

The app used to be my main source for Philly News. With the latest update it won't stay open you can't read anything the app crashes all the time. Roll it back guys. You went from 4 stars to one

Z70%
by Z####:

Awful update. I can't sort by teams. When I went Eagles news, I don't want to have to scroll through all the other sports.

R70%
by R####:

New design not working. Crashes with every article.

Z70%
by Z####:

Crashes more than Evel Knievel... Old version was much better. The developers need to get their act together.

D70%
by D####:

I liked the old format for quickly browsing what I want to read. This is clumsy & not useful to me!

H70%
by H####:

Does not work with my Google pixel c tablet running Android nugget. Just constantly crash's now.

S70%
by S####:

Awful. Clunky. Difficult to browse. Not at all user friendly. I won't use it much.

Z70%
by Z####:

Did an Android update and now the app crashes. New format is horrible too.

Z70%
by Z####:

App constantly crashes. Can't even open an article without it stopping.

Z70%
by Z####:

Great update after all these years of nothing. Is there a way to sort by team like the old app?
