Ready to delete app. ### 1/5 — Typical Daily Lack of News *2018-03-04, version 7.2.16* Little content, poor coverage, the app reflects the overall quality of this media outlet. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2018-02-15, version 7.2.16* Very little content and only 1 or 2 stories are current. It’s a free app so you don’t risk much. And you don’t get much either. The print version isn’t bad. Going to delete this app and if I need local news, will stop at WaWa and pick up a copy. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-01-17, version 7.2.16* The newest app crashes on opening. I x’d it off iphone. ### 2/5 — Slow to update! *2017-07-18, version 7.2.11* Only some articles update. Otherwise, it is ok. ### 1/5 — Surprise Subscription *2016-06-13* I read the description and checked out all the vital info before downloading this app to check out. Then, as always, I also checked out the app itself, menus, and its settings. I found no pricing or subscription hints of any sort. Suddenly after using the app randomly for about a week in the middle of reading articles I start getting a sign into subscription pop up screen and blocked out of articles. What a hook line and sinker joke. Deleting this trash app after finalizing the review. ### 1/5 — County level news now requires a subscription *2015-09-06* Daily Local News is generally a joke of a news paper but they do cover some of the news that occurs in Chester County Pennsylvania so I did use the app most days. Now they are requiring a subscription and trust me this news paper isn't worth paying for. They are often days behind local news stories and sometimes never catch the stories when other news agencies do. App deleted. ### 1/5 — Why do I need to signup *2015-09-03, version 6.2.6120* The new stories were old and stale. Now they you want you to sign up to track you, or send you spam. Have deleted the app, until they remove the signup. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-07-09, version 6.2.68* Can't read any articles at all without subscribing. ### 1/5 — Frustrating! *2015-04-02, version 6.2.60* When it works it's pretty decent. Sometimes it will ask you to sign in and when you don't it will not let you read the article. Very annoying. Other times you don't have to sign it to read the articles. ### 2/5 — Highly unimpressive *2014-12-27* The app, every few days, will shoot back an error message that says content unavailable. It will display this message for a day or so before becoming available again. Also, the app only displays a limited number of stories. Stories from yesterday or last week are unavailable on the app. Not to mention the lack in diversity of the articles that the daily local publishes in general. Or follow up stories to give the reader a solution to previous articles. All in all, very unimpressive. Maybe the daily local needs some competition. ### 1/5 — Poor *2014-10-04, version 6.2.30* This app is slow, frequently several days late in posting, and sloppy. It is unbelievable that so many spelling errors can occur in this day and age. ### 1/5 — Keep working *2014-07-15, version 6.0* Too many ads, jumbled news - I still have to go online or paper to find what I need. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Idiot newspaper *2020-03-08, version 7.4.2* First off, this app does not support my decision to get news coverage from all over the world, the name is terrible and the worst thing is I don’t want to get the news from there. ### 1/5 — Disppointment *2019-11-10, version 7.4.0* App never appears just keeps spinning. Very disappointing especially when you can down load the Daily Times app and it works automatically. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Not good enough *2022-10-15* Very Clunky and not updated often enough. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-01-26* The Daily Local has definitely taken a step up in terms of the quality of their writing, and this app is perfect. ### 5/5 — Daily Local News *2013-07-02* This is the best and most trusted source of news for the Chester County area. It's is also an excellent source for local sports and sadly the recent departed listed in the obituary section. Our family has been reading this periodical since we moved here in 1976, many many years ago. Here's to the Local Yokel!!! ### 5/5 — Nice ap *2013-04-29, version 4.2.1.0* Great job Daily local news .. ### 5/5 — I love Daily Local News! *2013-04-27* I wish there were more job postings and more up to the min news! But other then that it saves me buying a paper everyday! ### 5/5 — Local News every day *2013-04-05* Check it every day for local news and headlines. Updated regularly. Just what I need. Wonderful. ### 5/5 — Nice *2012-07-08* The description does state this app is for Chester County...not sure how many other 'Chester' counties there are out there but this is a decent app for the local news for the Chester County here in southeastern Pennsylvania. ### 4/5 — W C Resident *2018-03-21, version 7.2.16* A good app for those of us who want to know what is going on in Chester County and do not have ready access to the paper version. Latest news updates several times a day, ### 4/5 — Much needed refresh *2016-12-21, version 7.0.0023* Modern pleasing layout --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
