## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Should be free

*2022-05-27*

### 1/5 — $89.99 Annual Subscription Becomes Mandatory

*2015-10-21*

After applying this update, the App is grayed out, and becomes inaccessible.  No more free article previews.  Cannot even delete the app.  Looks like they require your $89.99 subscription first.  No thanks.

### 1/5 — Thanks for ruining the app

*2013-08-11*

Form over function. 
There's a reason why mobile versions exist. Pinch to zoom to read articles?? You're just uploading PDFs!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2011-06-23*

Waste of time....works on iPad but you have to double size it like mcdonalds!! More stories from previous days on iPad version versus iPhone.

### 1/5 — Small font in stories

*2010-03-03*

You're better of just using pbns mobile website. The stories are easier to read.

### 2/5 — A

*2010-10-08*

Agree on small text size. App doesnt rotate!

### 5/5 — Great App “Must Have”!

*2024-12-12*

PBN app is a great must-have app on-the-go to stay abreast of local business news, scoops and trends.

### 5/5 — Web feeds not working?

*2016-09-28*

Update:
Working again now. Not sure why it got hung up but back to normal now so great app again. 

Just updated to newest release. Seems like the web feed link is no longer working? Not sure if it is something else or not? But do love the app. Especially for the web feeds. Hope it is fixable soon.

### 5/5 — Biz

*2011-12-18*

Great app!

### 5/5 — CEO

*2010-10-28*

Thanks for the great app. I feel connected to Hawaii even when I'm off the island.
