Time for a major refresh as current app version is over 3 years old. A more modern Gleaner app will attract more readers. ### 2/5 — Bug in app (sharing wrong link) *2016-05-22* The app is sharing random links instead of sharing the story you select to share, please fix it, it is very annoying.😒 ### 1/5 — crap *2014-04-30* freezes alot ### 2/5 — Need update! *2014-03-24* UPDATE. Push Notifications please! ### 2/5 — Has Bugs *2014-03-23* This apps need robe more responsive; obliviously there are much bugs to be ironed out to make it more responsive... ### 1/5 — App randomly freezes *2014-03-15* Needs to be updated ASAP! ### 1/5 — Update *2014-03-14* This app needs to be updated , you are not able to share stories to a social website or email to friends , and this app freezes up And shuts down . Fix and update now ### 1/5 — Welcome to 2009 *2013-04-26* This app has no intriguing design elements. It's boring, it's stale; welcome to 2009, Gleaner. The ads block parts of the content. The badge icon; why does it keep track of unread stories on the front page. Why can't we modify the sections in the navigation bar (see Music.app). Need the ability to modify font size on main page sections. Swipe on article needs options, like "read". ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor service *2023-12-19* I live overseas so I do not have the privilege to buy a copy of the Gleaner. I have had this app for years all of a sudden it stopped updating. It’s been the same stories for about four months now. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — more work *2023-02-23* How come I don’t see any work advertising in this gleaner app🙏☝🏾 ### 1/5 — Worst app!! For a national newspaper …SHAME *2022-02-08* This app most times does not work. For over 2 weeks now it’s been stuck on the same error message. Sometimes stories remain on page over several months. Same on a national newspaper. I am thinking gleaner is doing this deliberately as they have seen fallen sales. Newsflash gleaner!!! Breaking headline news…Online reading is the way to go. We have much better choice and it’s free too. We are gonna get the news anyway. So go ahead and treat your online readers like crap…some organizations like your learn the hard way. This isn’t the old days. YOU ARE….DELETED!! Zero stars. Pity I can’t leave zero. One star is the lowest unfortunately ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-01-24* App has needed updating for months. It does not display on my system. ### 1/5 — The worst *2021-04-30* App does not work. Editing is so poor ### 1/5 — Not working since Version 3.0 *2021-04-07* The app does not work since update to Version 3.0. The articles fail to load. Nothing works, only settings. There are been 3 updates since Version 3.0 and the app still does not work. Very Disappointed! ### 1/5 — Smh *2019-03-24* How can you have a gleaner app without the classified in it. 🤦🏽‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-08-20, version 1.2.0* The app looks good but doesn't allow you to read any of the news articles as it freezes. I hope it gets sorted soon. ### 1/5 — Freeze *2014-06-10* Dem should name dis app Jamaica freeze up ### 1/5 — Stuck in the ICE AGE *2014-05-18* It freezes too frequently, if not consistently. Needs to be totally revamped. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-09-16* Excellent App allows Me to know what's happening back home. ### 5/5 — VG *2013-10-31, version 1.2.0* Great app. ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2013-06-21, version 1.2.0* Love the App. Great work from the design team. Now I can keep up with real time activities in Jamaica and the Caribbean on a whole. ### 5/5 — Finally..... *2013-05-02, version 1.2.0* I'm glad to see Gleaner Jamaica putting themselves on the e-media map for releasing this long await app for iPhone. Had previously enjoyed the app on blackberry but did miss you guys when I switched. *does happy dance* ### 4/5 — Link copy *2016-05-17* Since the last update in the month of May 2016, when I copy an article I want to share and paste, I do not get the exact link I wanted. It seems to be copying the very first article of the app ### 4/5 — Good App *2013-08-11* Great actually. Needs push notification though, so we don't have to go in the app to check if there is a news update. There should also be an area to see tweets from Gleaner. ### 4/5 — Finally! *2013-04-26* As a member of the diaspora, I had been patiently waiting for this app to make it easier to follow the news back home. Although I routinely used the Gleaner's mobile website, this app has an uncluttered finish which makes it easy to navigate and share. Now if I could get my epaper as easily, it would be perfect. ### 3/5 — Hopeful for the future *2015-07-20* While I'm very excited you guys have finally added an application, some bugs need to be fixed. This app crashes far too often and when I get a push notification it doesn't take me directly to the article mentioned in the notification and more often than not the article is nowhere to be found in the app, I hope there is an update on the way soon. ### 3/5 — Where is the classifieds section *2013-06-03* That is thee reason I downloaded the app. So far a good attempt at a Gleaner app- but post the entire gleaner or nothing! ### 2/5 — Needs support *2023-09-29* App hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Buggy. Poor user interface. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
