Email login missing for active subscribers

People app is the missing email login option. I have an active subscription. The account screen does not have that option anymore. The updated app opens with the option to get a free account, login using Google, Facebook, or Apple, or, finally, login as a Guest.

Events Out of Order

Often times, I’ll open the app, and it will have events from last year as current events. Super disorienting and hard to follow with what is current.

Just horrible

all I want is news about happy things and all I see is the Guthrie case president trump Erika Kirk Nolan wells etc all topics I’m not interested in since they keep showing them on the news everyday and there is no way to block certain topics on your website or app at the point of throwing my phone at something just to stop seeing those topics in your app I shut off breaking news and true crime notifications on your app and they still appear I’m so done with this 😡😠

Games not loading at all

“Couldn’t load activity” error saying to check my internet. My internet is just fine - you’re the problem.

Review.

Great easy to read and keep up to date what is going on. It’s fun to hear about the actors and actress. And sport heroes teams . Good highlights of actors and actresses and sport stars.

Horrible app

The app is glitchy and articles keep popping up over articles I’m trying to read. Ad pop ups can be relentless and also keep you from even reading an article.

Best Games Ever!

I love the games on this app, especially the Mini and Groupies! 🩷

Puzzles way too small

The crossword puzzle is way too small to see it’s useless!

Was Good, Now Unusable

I really enjoyed this app for a while; it became my daily pop culture news flow that I’d check up on at least twice a day for almost a year now, but in the past month the app has implemented ads that now take up the entire screen while I’m reading an article with an x out button placed very inconveniently where the battery icon on my phone is, which makes me completed unable to leave the ad since my phone won’t register my finger in that area. These ads will pop up every single time I open certain articles without fail and I can’t find a way to make them disappear, so it’s rendered the app basically useless to me now and completely unusable. What’s the point if I can’t do the one thing I’ve got the app for: read? Very disappointed.

Crashes

This app is not good. Between the ads for Prime taking over the screen and restarting the page and then changing the page, I’ve given up. I won’t try again until the Amazon Prime days are over.

Love Groupies

This new game is incredible — will play every day!!!

Can’t Update

I can’t update to this App because I don’t have any money in my bank account and I don’t know what to do because I don’t remember ever spending money on anything in this app! If someone could help greatly appreciate

We’re sorry you’re running into issues. For additional support, please email us at appsupport@people.com so we can troubleshoot further.

Isolating App

I get that People needs to find ways to make money with magazine sales being virtually nonexistent, but people don’t want to watch a vertical long form interview on their phone. The point of their work (gossip) is to be shared w friends, why are we making this an isolated user journey then? My friend and I are in the same room and don’t want to sit around a small phone or worse watch the same thing on our individual phones. Casting or YouTube support needs to be integrated.

Glitches

Every time I open the app to a story it reverts back to a previous story I read in April of this year. Two months ago! I click the back button to get back to my story and it reverts again. It’ll do this 3 times before staying where I want it to stay. Other than that, it’s a great app.

People

I think it is a great magazine,my favorite!

App - Meh

When the app works well, it really does. My absolute biggest complaint is that it is CONSTANTLY logging me out! I will login and minutes later, while in the middle of a crossword, will kick me out. It’s not my connection either. I’ve been on WiFi, cell network etc.. This drives me insane and I REALLY wish they’d fix this!!! 🤬😢 If they did, I’d give 5 stars

Informative, entertaining

With so much out there in the social media realm I find this is one of my must do reads. It’s always great to see what is going on in the world that is so unlike mine. I like the diversity the articles the way things are written , the photos.
