### 1/5 — I can't login with my Apple account

*2026-08-19*

I've got a paid subscription for the year and now I can't access my account....

### 1/5 — Slow and choppy

*2026-08-07*

Too many adds and videos. Slow, choppy and frustrating as hell. Frustrating and useless now.

### 1/5 — Problem with ads

*2026-07-22*

Ads block the content, impossible to use the app.

### 1/5 — Constantly Freezes

*2026-03-23*

It was bad enough when they got rid of the Sunshine Girl, but now this pos app always crashes my phone trying to load up 2-3 ads at once.  Maybe focus on a user-friendly experience instead of ad revenue and you’ll get better reviews.

### 1/5 — Criminal business practices

*2026-03-11*

I will never support these crooks ever again. Instead of charging reasonable subscription prices, they scam you. To hell with your jobs and local news.

### 1/5 — I’m not happy

*2026-02-14*

I am currently paying for a subscription and yet I am unable to access the app????

### 1/5 — Used to be truly the best

*2026-02-11*

Unable to view articles anymore. Only way to view is to be a subscriber. Deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Subscribed but no access

*2026-02-11*

I try to read stories and keep getting a message its “only for subscribers”. website works ok, just not this app.

### 5/5 — Disaster Update

*2025-10-17*

After update, the app works terribly. Ads block menus. Some free, some pay articles. Absolutely disastrous. It was a great app. Can’t find the columnists now. Not worth any payment. I was a regular reader but not now.

### 1/5 — Constantly Freezes

*2025-08-26*

Like all Post Media apps this one is poorly designed and freezes my iPhone constantly. Deleted.
