1/5Sad
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!

3/5App 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.

1/5App keeps crashing
I can no longer open the app on my iPhone. When I attempt to do so, the app crashes. I see others are having the same problem. PennLive charges $15/month, a fee that is almost double what a comparable Washington Post subscription runs. To have a crash bug like this, with what they now charge, is asinine. There are true amateurs running the show at this company. They better get their act together quickly or they will lose many more people.

1/5Seriously biased and opinionated
We want news that tells us the facts and reports substantiated information. We don't want our news reporters to tell us only what they feel we should hear. I am also seriously concerned with the incoherent phrasing and poor grammar that skates through the editors approval. Please provide a fact based information reporting source for us. We do not need you actively protesting or petitioning for or against any cause!

5/5Great app
After latest update the app has been working fine again. Like the news and local interest stories. Use it every day.
