I'll just get news elsewhere. Deleting app. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2015-06-16, version 6.2.68* Since upgrading ios to 8.x.x, VERY glitchy! Have had to delete and reinstall three times within a week. I guess I'll just read it via my web browser! ### 1/5 — Needs subscription now *2015-04-03, version 6.2.60* Don't bother unless you want to pay AND view ads. ### 1/5 — Cannot access article without subscription *2015-02-27* As soon as you attempt to view a news article, you are prompted for log-in credentials. If you click cancel, you are swiftly exited from that article....I am a current Daily Breeze newspaper subscriber and attempted to create the required account using my status. However, it does not benefit me at all. This is seriously making me consider canceling my newspaper subscription. ### 1/5 — Don't waste time. *2015-02-08, version 6.2.42* No access to stories unless you are a subscriber. Better off getting LA TIMES or any other news app, unless you just like reading headlines to stories you can't read. ### 1/5 — Requires a subscription to read the news using the app *2015-02-03* I used to be able to read local news using the iPhone app. Now, a subscription page is prompted. When you click to close the subscription page, you are redirected to the main page and are unable to read any news articles. The app now only let you read the headlines. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2015-01-19, version 6.2.42* Any article I tap in brings me to a login page. After pressing close about four times an ad pops up. If you close that you eventually get to the article selected. Horrible app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-01-11, version 6.2.42* I love the local focus and they have interesting articles. But app doesn't work. I like local ads to know local businesses- but app, when it worked, had generic online ads. Perhaps this is a form of revenue for them that is under utilized. ### 2/5 — Why do I need to subscribe? *2015-01-08* I used to be able to read the stories without having to sign in. However something changed and now I have to pay for a subscription before I can read the stories online? No thanks. ### 1/5 — Crash city *2014-12-05, version 6.2.36* Horrible, crashy, awful, slow, with invasive adds. Deletion time. Enough said. ### 1/5 — Never refreshes *2014-10-17, version 6.2.30* Articles are always days old never refreshes. Waste of space app.. Delete ### 1/5 — Old News *2014-10-05, version 6.2.30* Articles do not refresh daily. My list of articles is often 2 days old. Have trouble opening articles. Some may load but not most. ### 1/5 — News@breeze *2014-09-13, version 6.2.20* Not working well at all. Confusing App. Go back to original look please... 😩 ### 2/5 — Slow and not User Friendly *2014-08-11* App takes too long to load and news threads take up too much space on the home page. It was better before with the single text lines. ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2014-07-18* This new version of the Daily Breeze app is really bad. The ads are huge and in your face. The app prevents you from easily scrolling past the ads to get to the next story. If that isn't annoying enough, the app often crashes. The start-up time is slow and it's very unresponsive. Lots of bugs. ### 1/5 — Does not open *2014-06-27, version 5.9* Brand new App . All new features , and it does not open any longer . ### 1/5 — Worthless! *2014-05-09, version 4.6.4.0* This Has became useless the very basic news is not even available, One would thought that you wanted your paper to have exposure, What they get now from me is this App deleted, I advise one not to use it , Use the LA Times App. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time. *2014-04-27, version 4.6.4.0* They have nerve to charge a monthly fee. ### 1/5 — I'm deleting this app *2014-04-11, version 4.6.4.0* I can't turn off the annoying news pings. It gave me the score to a game I wanted to watch later. Ugh. Not even a spoiler alert. The updates it pushes don't interest me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — On line paper *2026-03-12* Your online paper is horrible. I suggest you figure out what the WSJ and even The Garden Isle papers are doing. Theirs are much better and user friendly. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback on the eNewspaper. We are working on upgrades that we believe will improve the user experience and they will be coming in the next few months. ### 1/5 — On line tab needs a ‘how to use’ instructions. *2025-11-23* Not a friendly access to newspaper articles. Example.: you have a heading called sections…. but when you click on it, there’s nothing there ? The names of the articles articles are sometimes not the same as in the paper, so it’s difficult to find the article? Can’t print articles. The old version is much easier…. ### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel! *2024-05-30* Trying to cancel the subscription since February, the reports are mediocre. Cancellation request with all details was emailed. They keep sending many many fishing mails and if you don't respond to their offers, since cancellation was requested in the first place, they keep changing! ### 1/5 — Junk *2021-08-12, version 7.6.0* Now that you are moving behind a pay wall, I am deleting this app. Too many ads in the first place and hard to find news on the app. ### 1/5 — U/I needs some help! *2019-01-23* The content is great but the U/I often makes it so difficult to access it... I end up going elsewhere for my local news! Almost every time someone sends me a link to a DB story, the app says I cannot access it because I have already reached my max number of articles! PLEASE SORT OUT THE U/I ISSUES so we can enjoy the amazing content! ### 1/5 — Restricts number of views *2018-06-18, version 7.3.2* I received a notification that I have maxxed out the number of pages for the month. I therefore see no use in the Daily Breeze app. Bye bye ### 1/5 — Fail *2018-06-15, version 7.3.2* Won’t open on my iPhone 7. Wheel just keeps on spinning. ### 1/5 — Ouch *2018-03-02, version 7.2.16* I absolutely hate the new feature of having an advertisement pop up every 30 seconds. It makes it impossible to use the app. I’ll check back in a few months to see if it becomes useful again or it goes into the electronic trash can. ### 1/5 — Not-So-Breaking-News *2017-01-08, version 7.0.0023* Great if you want the "latest" Sports news from a month ago! ### 1/5 — Need to fix *2015-10-14, version 6.2.6124* This app does not load and crashes all the time. It just takes up space and is not worth having. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2020-08-04* I’m so proud to support my local paper by subscribing to their news content. In a world where our local papers are becoming extinct, we need to pay for this wealth of knowledge. The app is easy to use, I don’t experience any issues with ads since I have the unlimited access with no ads subscription service. Great and easy to use! ### 5/5 — Cool *2014-04-03, version 4.6.4.0* The best app ever ### 5/5 — Love your app *2013-09-24* I was so happy to see your paper on this app! I must say; your news paper is the best in the South Bay beach cities. I've been reading your news paper since I've learned to read and have always referred to your news paper for all my needs in reference to the South Bay Area! It was a pleasure to find you on app, through CHANNEL 7 news link on the web! Would also like to thank ABC7 Los Angeles News station for the link to your app! Absolutely love your app, this app makes my on the go life easy, especially now while searching for employment! Thank you again! ### 5/5 — Nice *2013-06-28, version 4.3.0.0* Yes it's local, but it is set up better than LA Times and much better than NY Times! ### 5/5 — Solid news app *2013-06-24, version 4.3.0.0* Haven't had any problems with this app so far. Keeps me updated :) ### 5/5 — Frustrating *2013-06-12* This app continues to deny twitter posts of articles and often crashes. ### 5/5 — Up to date breaking news!! *2013-05-25* Whenever I want to know about what's going on out there in the world and (even more so) the Southbay! I check out my Daily Breeze breaking news. It continually refreshes all the time. I love it! And haven't had any problems with crushing :)) ### 5/5 — Reader *2013-04-21, version 4.2.1.0* Very good application. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2013-03-11, version 4.1.0.0* I love this app. It keeps me up to date with things going on around me. ### 5/5 — Buggy *2013-02-13, version 4.1.0.0* Buggy at times but what can you expect it's a Torrance and South Bay paper not the Wall Street Journal. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
