5/5Giles Guisbert
I am old school. One of my retirement rituals is going out early to my driveway and pick up the Trib wrapped in plastic. While there I wave to my neighbors while they rushed off to work… I feel their envy. Now that the paper will not be there Sunday or Monday or when I am traveling I am glad TribLive is there as close as my phone.

2/5News is great, the app is terrible.
You can’t scroll. Because of the huge amount of ads that keep refreshing, as you scroll through it keeps popping back to the top of the page and you have to start scrolling again. Getting to the bottom is impossible if you scroll slowly. You have to zoom through the articles fast before it pops you back to the top. Then the ads are ultra repetitive. I understand the ads are necessary, but it is the same ad in between every article as you scroll. If I opened a newspaper that had only one ad in it hundreds of times, I would burn it while I still had my sanity.

5/5Very informative
Even though we have not lived in Pittsburgh for many years, we like to keep up with the latest happenings - particularly sports. This app does a great job! I have followed the Pirates and Steelers since about 1939 when I started listening to Rosy Rosewell on the radio. My wife is from Pittsburgh and I grew up in Mercer County. We enjoy this app!

5/5Love the real time push alerts!
I always know exactly what’s going on now that I’ve got my push alerts customized exactly as i want them! I’m always the first to know about Pittsburgh sports, breaking news and weather. Thanks Trib! Keep up the great work!

3/5Bugs make it almost unbearable
The news is great. Most everything loads ok. Sometimes stories don’t show the bottom section due to ads. Scrolling through stories is annoying because it randomly resets your spot as your scrolling, i assume due to ads loading. Aside from those 2 things, it’s a good app. But, the annoyance level almost makes me want to quit it
