Subscription
My husband pays for a pennlive subscription and I’m unable to use it. If we subscribed to a paper we would both have access.
Don’t bother with Penn Live
You have gotten greedy! Waaaay too expensive to subscribe. Most articles are “subscriber only “. Major magazines and newspapers are a third of your costs !!
This is worthless!
I’m originally from PA and like to keep up with news and info. Every article I try to read stops me saying I need to buy a subscription. I will. NEVER pay to read online articles, especially from a Harrisburg newspaper. So I now watch CBS 21, or WGAL 8 news broadcasts online.
Garbage
Covered in ads and requires a subscription for 99% of the articles.
Not friendly app, especially for blind person using screen reader with voiceover
It’s only giving me a short most recent version of stories in all the categories News sports and so forth I can’t find stuff from two or three days ago like I can in most apps. No change by September I will probably cancel thank you.
PA
Too expensive to pay for, not enough original content. Too much borrowed from other news outlets
Poor redesign.
New website application is difficult to navigate and notify the same level of resources.
App freezes constantly
Great new coverage, however, the app freezes after about 10 minutes of being open. Seems like it’s trying to download too many ads when this happens. Very annoying though when you can only read 3 articles before it freezes.
Freeze and Bounce
No one likes an article that bounces around while you’re trying to read it. Worse is when an app freezes while reading a bouncing article, so it needs force closed. Fix yourself.
Click bait app
Poor performing app that is riddled with click bait misroutes for apps. Very, very difficult to use this app without numerous misroutes for sales, apps, & more. I am going to delete the app and just use a browser. Shame on PennLive for shoving blatant and unwanted sales in our faces.
Sad
This is as good as it gets for the HARRISBURG area for news. Old dated news stories show up in various sections. Crashes. Very odd navigation that’s not intuitive. Renewing a subscription is a nightmare. Various pricing in Ap vs Web site. Ap and website don’t interact. Charged multiple times for subscription. Doesn’t keep you logged in. Tap on story in Tweeter (X) and you need to relight in or worse Penn Live asks you to subscribe but goes no no log in option!

Can’t keep quite
Google adds override and play their sound track even when muted. Some articles have the same add multiple times and as you scroll to read it restarts at each instance. So if you don’t want Google noise you need to turn the volume down to zero. I understand the reason for advertising but let the sound mute mean no sound.

Poor APP update again!!!
Again the App developers have failed to support older IPhones! Both the regular and football app no longer work on my IPhone 6 with the latest allowed IOS update. I don’t think they realize that not everyone upgrades their phones every couple of years. My IPhone works great except when trying to use the PennLive apps.

PennLive doesn’t work
After updating my PennLive doesn’t work at all
Opinionated garbage
Penn live is nothing more than liberal Democratic garbage
Bring back the old app
Don’t know why they screwed this app up so. It used to provide local news in a decent manner. Now it’s a hot mess! I’m deleting it!
I’ll have to try elsewhere I guess. Sad.

App Not Working
I enjoy this APP however after the last update the app won’t open on my iPhone. I attempted to reload it and have had no luck even with a digital subscription.
Not great
New app is not an improvement. They removed half the sections, such as ”politics”.
Now Requires a Subscription
I was fine with the excessive ads supporting this app in the past years I’ve been using it, but now they are charging $15/month to read articles. No thanks, definitely not worth it.
Good but
I actually like Pennlive and would give them a five. I just don’t like the idea of having to be continually coerced/bombarded into buying a subscription. They should sell a subscription when you download it.
