### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2025-05-22*

I tried allowing tracking. My iPhone still doesn’t want to open.

### 1/5 — crashes on tap to full story

*2020-04-19*

The last updates have caused the app to crash if you tap on any of the stories. This means you can read the headlines but not the details.

### 1/5 — Need update

*2020-04-17*

When a headline is chosen the app crashes. Best to have it updated. I’ve even deleted and reloaded it with no success. Maybe others are having the same problem. In the past it has been a great app

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes get a new developer

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2016-11-25*

I can't even open the app

### 1/5 — What?

*2016-05-14*

Updated to strictly upload photos and weather/sports. No news at all. Worthless waste of time.

### 2/5 — Hard to get to follow news

*2021-10-13*

It’s like trying to watch tv through a mail slot. I don’t understand why.

### 4/5 — Used to love it.

*2014-09-06*

Please! Let's get our priorities straight. When I signed up for breaking news alerts to be sent to my phone, I expected the severe weather and emergency closure alerts, and those are very helpful. But "Joan Rivers dies at age 81" ??? Really???!!!

### 5/5 — Upgrade app

*2020-04-28*

Has not worked since app update

### 5/5 — MyStateline weatherman

*2014-07-23*
