All you can see are the top two or three stories that I suppose the editors choose. We subscribe to the print edition. If you are out of town and want the news that is in the Press Telegram you are out of luck. I gave it two stars...should have been one. ### 3/5 — Bring back landscape view *2016-12-22, version 7.0.0023* Nice, but I need landscape view. Keyboard always attached ### 3/5 — Please fix *2015-01-09* Haven't been able to read a single article since the update on 1/6/15. After clicking, it would immediately divert me back to the headlines. If you have photographic memory, this would be great... ### 4/5 — Nice App! *2014-08-15, version 6.1* Runs smooth ### 1/5 — Liberal viewpoints only *2014-02-25, version 4.6.4.0* No wonder the once great newspaper is headed for the end. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous. *2013-12-12* Deleting the app. You can't read most of the articles now. You have to buy an account ? Good job. Long beach always finds a way to try to get money out of things. ### 2/5 — Can't read without updating iOS? *2013-09-19* I've been using iOS 5 for a long time and would prefer not to update it, yet I'm not even able to use this app without updating it now, and I can't update because I have iOS 6? How about instead of adding new features and such, how about investing in backwards compatibility? I used to like this app so, two stars. ### 4/5 — It's getting there *2013-09-17* Very much improved since 2012 and its only going to get better. Only concern is the quality of writing and reporting has decreased, I think the PT lost some staff because it hasn't been the same. But app is great nonetheless. ### 1/5 — Crash!!! *2013-08-16* This app constantly crashes, and updates to current news are often slow. ### 1/5 — Horrible. Useless. Out of date. *2013-04-21, version 4.2.1.0* I just said it all. ### 1/5 — Out of Date? *2013-03-27* On the Politics page, the articles mostly relate to the November 2012 elections, and are between 150 & 175 days old. That means this app is so important to the PT that they look at it every six months, whether or not they need to. ### 1/5 — Pretty Sad. *2013-03-15, version 4.1.0.0* Really a shame. Needs so much work. ### 1/5 — PT going downhill *2013-03-11* App is bad, newspaper is getting worse, local long beach app with only LA weather? Photos and news stories primarily out of town news...we want local info, stories and focus...the rest of the Internet serves all the general info in a million other places...get the hint before you take what was a great local newspaper and run it into the ground. ### 1/5 — Calottery *2013-02-22, version 4.1.0.0* Why can't I find lottery results in my home newspaper? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Old News *2021-02-07, version 7.5.10* Not enough up to date information. Same articles day after day. Also, now I need to create a log in. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2019-07-23, version 7.3.13* Can’t search, only has a few articles ### 1/5 — GUD419 *2017-04-23* The app is terrible. There's no way to search for something specific, not to mention trying to find Archbold, Grobaty, etc. Not that it's not perfect (to be sure), but the L.A. Times has the PT app beat in every way. Get a pro in there to get this app straightened away. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Needs attention *2016-02-19, version 6.2.6150* Not updated nearly enough. Also, for the hometown newspaper you would think that they would have a section under sports for LBSU like they do for UCLA and SC. ### 1/5 — Can no longer read articles *2015-07-31, version 6.2.686* With the last update, you must sign in to view articles. ### 1/5 — Can't access articles without subscription *2015-02-27* Why do I now have to purchase a subscription to view any articles? I'll just rely on the always dependable google news. ### 1/5 — Can't access articles *2015-01-12* Once I select an article, the app asks for my sign-in information then kicks me out of the article and back to the headlines. I have not had to enter account information previously in order to read articles. Annoying. ### 1/5 — Crashes a lot *2014-08-15, version 6.1* Please fix bugs ### 1/5 — Umm.. Wth? *2014-06-20, version 5.9* This app keeps closing on me and it's annoying. ### 1/5 — PT AT AN ALL TIME LOW *2014-03-26, version 4.6.4.0* Press-Telegram finally gave up on us. Now we have to buy a subscription to see local news? Who are you? The LB Register? Maybe... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best organized, news that doesn’t piss me off *2025-12-15, version 10.0.50* No baloney. A fair and complete representation of current news, organized in sections that flow. Not just for Long Beach. The lack of commercial interruptions feels more honest. Although I’ve never followed sports, all the coverage of local schools makes me smile and is a reminder that we are all families. ### 5/5 — App *2024-02-16* Very Nice ### 5/5 — delay *2019-11-08* takes too long to load: will seek info from other sources: may try deleting app & retrieve it from the cloud a little bit later...see if that solves the problem ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-05-18, version 4.3.0.0* Very nice application. Easy to navigate. This is a perfect configuration for a newspaper. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-03-18, version 4.2.1.0* Gives me the info I need to know! ### 5/5 — LB Press Telegraph *2012-10-24, version 2.1* Great app for getting daily LB Press news. ### 5/5 — Great app. Thank you for bring it mobile *2012-05-16* Great app. Thank you for bring it mobile ### 5/5 — So far so good... *2012-04-15* I downloaded the app and I like the look, the ease of use, and the news seems to be updated as often as the website is updated. Very user friendly. I like being able to choose a category or just read the breaking news headlines for quick and easy access to the latest information on the street. I recommend the Press Telegram app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-03-16, version 1.0* Love it ### 4/5 — Fore Stars *2026-01-16* Looks Good Enough to Rate Higher! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
