### 5/5 — Daily Local News

*2024-08-28*

This is a good supplement to the Philadelphia Inquirer as it covers local news and events  and other state and national  news and issues not well covered in the larger city newspaper.

### 1/5 — worst app ever

*2023-03-15, version 7.6.3*

I just subscribed to the digital DLN and find it useless with this App. Nothing but pop ups and re-directs, can’t even finish an article.

### 1/5 — Lacks functionality

*2023-02-04, version 7.6.3*

This app is the worst newspaper app I have used.

First, it should link to my email account so that when I receive my digital version via email and tap on the morning edition, the app should open. It does not. Tapping my digital version opens up on my internet page.

Second, when opening the app, I cannot find the morning edition. And when I search an article that is in the morning edition it cannot find it!

Worse app!

### 5/5 — Not good enough

*2022-10-15*

Very Clunky and not updated often enough.

### 1/5 — Poor Newpaper

*2021-12-06*

I used to work there..in customer service.  What a joke, more major complaints than I’ve ever been exposed to.  All I can say it was like the Keystone Cops in action, 1 hand didn’t know what the other was doing.  I quit being one of their managers after a month, best thing I did.

### 1/5 — don’t fall for easy pay program

*2021-10-12, version 7.6.0*

with easy pay program you may be auto renewed a week in advance. you cannot cancel online must call. 35 minutes for 2 different people and they want to keep your money that you don’t owe them for a week. when they’re super busy call recording offers you a call back option, which doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Time to delete

*2021-08-06, version 7.6.0*

I get everyone needs to make money- but I’ve been using this app for I don't know how many years…. Now all of a sudden they want 11.99 / mth or 139.00 / year. I don’t think so. Not paying to read local news. Especially when the app has problems half the time.

### 1/5 — Tom e

*2020-11-05, version 7.4.5*

Horrible app! It never updates the news.
When it does I firmly believe that the writers have 4th grade educations. The absolutely worst newspaper I have ever read across America.

### 1/5 — A Joke..

*2020-10-17, version 7.4.5*

It can go 24 hours without an update.  The world could end and the Daily Local would not report it!

### 1/5 — Right Wing propaganda sheet masquerading as local news

*2020-10-07, version 7.4.5*

Nothing but right wing opinion pieces and very little local news. Not to mention the App is poorly laid out.
