Could be better, but fine. HOWEVER I NEVER want a notification on my device from blogTO, so I turn off notifications. BUT when I do it prompts me to re-enable notifications each time I open it. STOP IT. Respect my decision. I want to burn it with fire — maybe I just stop reading BlogTO ### 2/5 — Not loading *2025-08-22, version 3.6.8* Only headlines.. no articles . What gives? Used to work fine . Please fix ### 2/5 — Crashes often *2024-10-09, version 3.6.5* The app often opens with “no content available” and can last that way for hours or even days. ### 3/5 — No results found *2024-09-17, version 3.6.5* Since last update it doesn’t work. Used to love the app. Please fix it! ### 4/5 — great app needs a bit more work *2024-08-21, version 3.6.5* its a great app so far developers great job ### 3/5 — Font too small *2024-07-27, version 3.6.5* Love the app but have given up due to the developers choice of font size and there is no option to change it to a larger or a bold font. ### 3/5 — Pop-Ups *2024-06-27, version 3.6.4* On opening the app it will always open a pop-up askijg you to go to settings to enable notifications. Very annoying. ### 2/5 — App is adequate *2024-05-04, version 3.6.4* This app keeps bugging me to enable notifications lately. On both my iPad and phone. Really annoying. I'm not going to allow notifications, and I never will. Also, this app still has no landscape mode. Not great. Especially given how many iPad users have keyboard cases and stuff. ### 4/5 — Needs serious fixing *2024-03-07, version 3.6.3* Often I get errors with trying to access articles in the app. What is super annoying is some articles you can’t even read in the app. The articles are cut off by the window size (I assume) and just stops. Annoying. ### 3/5 — Cannot log in on app! *2024-02-26, version 3.6.3* Someone needs to fix this bug… ### 3/5 — Log in issues *2024-02-12, version 3.6.3* Bunch of updates and you still can’t log in using your account in the application. ### 2/5 — No longer able to use *2024-01-31, version 3.6.3* Unable to sign in with FB and getting an error when making a new account, making the app unusable ### 3/5 — Good app but can’t login *2023-12-29, version 3.6.3* It’s great app to know about Toronto. Recently i noticed a bug, after login via fb or apple account it still doesn’t show as logged in. It used to work before but not sure what happened recently. Also having a dark mode would be awesome 😃 ### 3/5 — Sadly Missing *2023-06-14, version 3.6.3* This app is sadly missing a horizontal format version. All the other news apps I use have this feature. This would greatly improve reading on phones or tablets. Hopefully the next version will have this fixed. ### 4/5 — Too left wing *2023-06-08, version 3.6.3* I love most of your content on Toronto, restaurants, real estate, local content. However you tend to only critique conservative politicians. Which I am fine with. We have serious issues with the federal liberals and their complete disregard for democracy by allowing the Government of China to influence and pressure Chinese Canadians. This is very personal to me and my friends. ### 3/5 — Less Politics, More Substance *2022-02-23, version 3.6.3* Toronto is a diaspora of different peoples with different experiences and economic circumstances. We love our sports teams and boast about our restaurants and entertainment options. We have more in common than we have differences. It’s unfortunate that this site is becoming more political. I could care less what the Ford’s were up to today and more interested in journalism that covers this great city and region. Peter ### 1/5 — Complete Trash *2022-02-12, version 3.6.3* Liberal one sided trash. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — “No results found” *2024-08-24, version 3.6.5* I’ve tried creating an account, logging in through Facebook and my Apple account. Nothing seems to work and all I get is a “No results found” message in the app. I am using an iPhone 12 max pro. Latest iOS. No help anywhere in this. ### 1/5 — Used to be good, now bad *2024-06-09, version 3.6.4* What’s with the permanent “nag” to enable notifications every time you open the app? Seriously BlogTO - you are not that important… ### 1/5 — Please update your app to Support landscape on iPad *2024-05-19, version 3.6.4* App is OK but would love to see better support on the iPad for rotation. The App only works in portrait mode. ### 1/5 — Forced Notifications *2024-04-12, version 3.6.4* Hey goofballs… Why does it notify my everytime I open the app that it doesn’t have Notifications turned on, and that I can turn it on…..I know this, and I PURPOSELY turned it off, because you know, there is nothing critical about stories in Toronto. Whoever suggested and approved this as an update really likes to annoy their clients. ### 1/5 — Stop trying to force notifications on me *2024-03-14, version 3.6.4* Every time I open the app it asks me to turn on notifications , EVERY time I don’t want notifications now or ever , asking once should suffice Goodbye deleting the app now ### 1/5 — News feed not working *2023-05-01, version 3.6.3* I’m considering deleting the app since the app’s news is not showing any results for the past 4 days ### 1/5 — Just keep blogging *2022-11-23, version 3.6.3* As usual ### 1/5 — Click bait trash *2022-10-10, version 3.6.3* Good way to waste your time. ### 1/5 — Easy, Dull interface. Lunatic staffers *2022-04-28, version 3.6.3* Look, I don’t know what these writers have against local, small, businesses but scaring people away from promoting themselves was scummy. ### 1/5 — Go after El Presidente.. no bueno *2022-04-26, version 3.6.3* Deleted app and unfollowed after they attacked El Presidente. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App Fixed 👍🏻 *2024-10-07, version 3.6.5* App is fixed. Thank you 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — 10/10 app *2023-12-18, version 3.6.3* Best source for news in Toronto! ### 5/5 — Best news and reviews for Toronto and area❤️ *2023-08-05, version 3.6.3* This is the go to app for interesting and important local news, awesome reviews of places to eat, events ++! ### 5/5 — Super pratique! *2021-10-14, version 3.6.3* J’ai vraiment apprécié l’app, en particulier la liste alphabétique avec plusieurs palmarès très variés.

The app is slow at loading and sometimes I just give up... would love if the app got a makeover to overcome this issue. ### 5/5 — BlogTO *2019-10-31, version 3.5.4* This app is great to find something to do on the weekend --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
