5/5Review
Do not like the fact that changes occurred and you now have to have a subscription to read an article

cyclops3099 · 6 Aug 2026
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.

1/5Sad
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!

2/5Can’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.
