When you can find the same information on another site ### 2/5 — Bummer *2020-10-29, version 3.9.4* This app isn’t very good. The content of the app doesn’t seem to be within the app but rather it utilizes a browser from within the app. I don’t need a browns app that searches the internet for browns material. I can just open up internet app. Moreover, the pages don’t load or take a very long time. 2 stars because it’s clean looking and seems like it has potential. ### 3/5 — Good App *2020-03-14, version 3.9.0* This is a good app but for some reason the PD took away the comments section. Not as much fun ### 3/5 — Polls and videos *2019-10-19, version 3.7.22* Any article that involves a poll doesn’t show up on the app. Was told that polls are only available on the website. So why put the article on the app? 90% of videos aren’t expandable to full screen, so you have to go to YouTube to watch them full screen. ### 4/5 — News *2019-10-10, version 3.7.21* It would be helpful if Mary Kay Cabot would strive to keep Browns fans informed instead; instead of trying to incite their clickbait fantasies with fluff about OBJ et.al. ### 5/5 — Just win Browns!! *2019-07-21, version 3.7.16* Bring back Paul Brown’s elf and get rid of Modell’s dog and helmet logos. Return to old classic all whites at home!!! ### 5/5 — Browns *2019-06-13, version 3.7.15* Love this app like I love the Browns ### 5/5 — Fan and father to the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach. *2019-06-04, version 3.7.15* Great job, proud of the Browns preparation for the 2019 up coming season. ### 5/5 — Here we go Brownies! *2019-05-30, version 3.7.15* Great app for daily dawg pound information. Best Cleveland Browns app ### 4/5 — Home Towner *2019-05-30, version 3.7.15* Great variety but would love more practice clips and and player interview. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Articles now require subscription *2026-08-17, version 5.0.0* It is no longer a free app ### 1/5 — Subscriber Articles *2026-08-17, version 5.0.0* People are being subscriptioned into oblivion with all platforms. It would be nice if the site would focus on putting the effort into ad revenue rather than simply charging loyal Brown's fans to read about their team. ### 1/5 — A Rip Off! *2026-07-29, version 5.0.0* Very expensive way to read news articles and/or to watch video clips… in my opinion ### 1/5 — Made everything unavailable *2026-07-27, version 5.0.0* They changed the app to be subscription only to read any articles. This was always A decent app for the Browns news but they now want to charge money to read articles that you can read in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Did the same thing for Ohio State football so this app has just been added to the delete list of never using again ### 1/5 — Paywall *2025-03-06, version 4.4.25* Everything is behind a paywall. ### 1/5 — Content won't display in latest version of all the Cleveland.com apps *2022-03-22, version 4.2.5* Please fix!!!! Content won't display in latest version of all the Cleveland.com apps. ### 1/5 — This app DISCRIMINATES against the disabled!! *2021-10-20, version 4.1.9* I am legally blind. I depend on the ability to send or copy content to my text-to-speech app, which allows me to "read" material. This app NO LONGER ALLOWS me to do either. Because of this limitation, this app and your content are COMPLETELY WORTHLESS to me. ### 1/5 — Inside only articles *2020-10-11, version 3.9.4* Wow, this morphed into a insider only site real quick. They started advertising it awhile back but now practically every article is “insider only.” Also, stop advertising it as “just 14 cents a day” or whatever it is. Plenty of other non insider places to get Browns news. Not worth it ### 1/5 — Jeff Chalfant *2019-11-04, version 3.7.22* I have had season tickets since 1959 my dad first then me and I was finally excited for this year and I am so disappointed in them and after all the bad years and keeping the tickets I seriously think this may be my last I have been such a diehard fan and this year has probably been the most disappointing of all I am at the end with no hope left for now or the future for this team I could never chear for another team but the buckeyes and at least they bring me happiness on the weekends I thought with the talent they have there would be no way they could lose this weekend against Denver and they still found a way to lose ### 1/5 — Fix the gd twitter feed *2019-10-10, version 3.7.21* Was the beat part of the app & now its useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Labbe made me write this review *2021-09-07, version 4.1.5* Great content For those fans that truly enjoy the Browns Podcast for the insider portion is fantastic Text alerts are a game changer Steve MDR ### 5/5 — Why i Am A Browns Fan *2020-09-28, version 3.9.4* I am a 65 year old female who is a huge football fan. I watch the Browns because there are 5 LSU players on your team. But reading your website I have learned the traditions and the history of the Cleveland Browns. Even though I now live in Chicago and have lived ‘up north’ for over 30 years I find your city by the lake to be very much like the city by the river a town I was born in - Baton Rouge. You love your football as much as we Louisianians love our Tigers. But it’s more than that. It’s about pride for a team that has been on the losing end for so many years. Continue to shine in the moment. LSU suffered a tough loss over the weekend and after winning the NC in 2019 it’s a tough one to swallow but I love my Tigers as much as I am learning to love your browns. Thank you ### 5/5 — Love my browns *2020-04-16, version 3.9.2* Great app ### 5/5 — Life Long Fan *2019-09-20, version 3.7.21* Love the Browns and NE Ohio. ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-09-04, version 3.7.16* I read everyday from Denver! ### 5/5 — Browns app *2019-08-17, version 3.7.16* I enjoy using the app. ### 5/5 — Hey *2019-08-17, version 3.7.16* Browns all the way this year! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-08-17, version 3.7.16* Love following the Browns! ### 5/5 — Website *2019-08-06, version 3.7.16* Great way for me to keep up with my Browns ### 5/5 — Dawg Pound!!! *2019-07-25, version 3.7.16* Great Job!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
