### 2/5 — Ads and pay, greedy much?

*2024-08-04*

I would have paid the small fee but these giant ads and they grow as I scroll down.  With these annoying things it should be entirely free as they pay a lot for those type of ads.  Please pick one or the other and stop double dipping!  Go pack go!

### 2/5 — Pretty useless for a non-subscriber

*2023-08-22, version 27.1.2*

Need to be a subscriber to enjoy this app. It’s pretty useless for free readers in spite of seeing FOUR ads stashed between the headlines of the first 12 stories. Details: 8 of the 12 newest stories are for subscribers only. Of the 4 I could read, 1 was about the health of a Patriots player, 2 were recaps of the Patriots Packers preseason game, and the other was about the Packers signees for today. The good stories require subscribing in spite of numerous ads.

### 2/5 — Love the Packers but not the app

*2023-05-06, version 27.0.4*

About every three days I need to call them and they have to unlock my account so that I can read the stories, come on guys you’re better than that please fix this because the content is 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Packers1992

*2022-09-30, version 26.12.6*

Great articles

### 5/5 — Go Pack

*2022-04-17, version 26.10.0*

Good site!

### 4/5 — Reporting is great, but technical problems persist

*2022-03-28, version 26.10.0*

This is my favorite source of info about the Packers. The die hard fans get their news from the beat writers who’ve covered the team for 30 years. These guys are second to none. Only complaint is technical. I’m often locked out despite being a paying subscriber. It’s an annoying process to get back in.

### 5/5 — My Favorite

*2022-01-05, version 26.8.1*

Love all the Packer content. Skip the national writers with limited knowledge and insights. These local writers are the best ones to give you your Packer fix!

### 5/5 — Inject this straight into my veins

*2021-12-25, version 26.8.1*

This site has great content and in-depth analysis — I just wish they were a little more positive after some wins instead of always picking out some negatives.

### 5/5 — Go Pack

*2021-11-13, version 26.8.1*

Excellent. Timely.

### 4/5 — PackersNews

*2021-04-11, version 6.4.0*

Getting every detail is great for out of state fans.

### 5/5 — Good packer reporting, nice app

*2020-12-26, version 6.2.0*

Good reporting, nice app

### 5/5 — Dan from NBTX

*2020-10-26, version 6.1.4*

Packer coverage that couldn’t be better!!!

### 5/5 — Go pack go!

*2020-09-28, version 5.25.2*

Great packers coverage!

### 5/5 — The article

*2020-03-15, version 5.23.1*

I renewed my subscription due to Tom Owczarski article on culture change with Packers. I like in-depth articles with new information

### 4/5 — Worth the $

*2020-01-25, version 5.22.2*

Videos are great but freeze a lot.

### 1/5 — Ads and pay, greedy much?

*2024-08-10, version 27.11.2*

I would have paid the small fee but these giant ads and they grow as I scroll down. With these annoying things it should be entirely free as they pay a lot for those type of ads. Please pick one or the other and stop double dipping! Go pack go!

### 1/5 — Paid subscription cluttered with ads at every level

*2022-10-15, version 26.12.6*

And they don’t properly label things, so you think you are opening a story and a loud video pops up instead.

### 1/5 — APP issues

*2022-09-26, version 26.12.6*

I love the news and content; however, I’m unable to access the paid subscription. I sent an email to support for help and they have not replied in over a week.

### 1/5 — App crashes after updating to ios14

*2020-09-17, version 5.25.1*

I’m assuming the devs are aware of this. Hope it gets fixed. It’s football season and I miss the MJS great coverage of the packers.

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t let me read

*2020-04-03, version 5.24.3*

So I just got the app clicked on an article for the first time ever and it said You've “reached your limit of free stories for this month”

### 1/5 — Waste

*2020-01-17, version 5.22.2*

This is dumb. The app worked fine but you only get to read a few articles. You have to subscribe to be able to read the article. The official Packers app is better.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-12-09, version 5.22.2*

I’m constantly being locked out of certain articles even though I’m signed in. This app is garbage.

### 1/5 — John

*2019-10-29*

My paid for app is not loading and there is no contact info I can get to rectify this 
What’s up with this

### 1/5 — Will not restore my purchase

*2019-10-19, version 5.18.1*

Has not been working for months. Itunes store refused to refund. No contact info who to turn to.
The content is great, the support is terrible.
I recommend subscribing the magazine directly

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.  Try getting support, you won’t.  I enjoyed the app when it did work

*2019-09-22, version 5.18.1*

The app has always been inconsistent.  At times it would not accept my password, but a hard reboot fixed it.  Since the last update it won’t accept my password at all.  Customer service is nonexistent.  The phone number goes to the newspaper who doesn’t handle the app.  The in app help doesn’t work.  The in app email address doesn’t elicit a response.  Since the update about two weeks ago this is a useless app for me.  On an iPhone 7s with up to date OS.
