### 3/5 — Fix?

*2018-04-10*

It use to work fine , now I can’t get this app to work.    When you try to open it , it just disappears.

### 5/5 — Great update!!

*2017-10-30*

Been waiting for a long time to get a new update for this app. Unfortunately when they did update it - it crashed when you opened it. The new apps for their other papers worked fine though (The Intel and Herald Star) so I assumed it was just a bug they would fix. 

Glad to see the update they released yesterday did fix it!! It opens now and looks so much better than the old app. Good job!

### 1/5 — The New Update Crashes

*2017-10-21*

The new TL update crashes whereas the new Intelligencer and Herald Star updates are running well.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2017-10-19*

I was waiting to update to iOS 11 because I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep this app. I was so excited when I saw that it had been updated so I downloaded iOS11. But since the app updated it crashes every time I click on it ;(
Hopefully it’ll be working soon!

### 1/5 — Crash after crash

*2017-10-17*

I updated to the newest version I have the Times Leader app, but every time I go to start it, it crashes and will not open.

### 1/5 — Update!!!

*2017-10-04*

You are now useless. 
Update!!!

### 1/5 — Failure

*2016-08-27*

This has not been updated in four years. It is glitchy - and offers hardly any content. I don't understand how so many local media outlets don't care about their own app. You need to understand that this is crucial to the success in your reaching certain markets. It would be better to discontinue this "attempt" at an app then to continue allowing it to operate at such a pathetic level. Unfortunately, newspapers are not doing as well as they were 10-20 years ago. If you do not adapt to the medium you will not last.

### 4/5 — Teacher

*2012-11-24*

It's easy to use for news, but they don't always update every section--Community.
