### 1/5 — App Blows Off

*2026-08-20, version 50.12.250063678*

I can’t access the stories. If I click or touch an item, it immediately reverts to the App symbol.

### 1/5 — Worst News App

*2026-08-12, version 50.12.250063678*

App is the buggiest app on my iPhone.  Can never open the Local News section and others because app keeps shutting down.  Happens every day. A joke.

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-07-14, version 50.12.250063678*

The app constantly crashes when you try to select an article to read.

### 1/5 — Ads crash the app

*2026-07-07, version 50.12.250063678*

The app will start without issue. Once you click on a story and an ad loads the app crashes. This app is unusable.

### 1/5 — Bugs need fixed

*2026-07-06, version 50.12.250063678*

I used to enjoy reading stories but now if I go into any tab besides the top stories it will automatically kick me out of the app and close it. Please fix. 
July 2026  still not fixed

### 1/5 — Political Bias

*2026-06-23, version 50.12.250063678*

Overall political bias is so prevalent- skewing presentation of the news. 
Sad to see this happen at The Trib.

### 1/5 — Tech issues!

*2026-06-01, version 50.12.250063678*

The app continually backs me out in beginning or middle of articles. It’s been going on for months

### 1/5 — Unstable - often crashes

*2026-05-17, version 50.12.250063678*

I check in on the happenings in and around Pittsburgh on a daily basis and use TribLIVE.  Not sure if it’s because of an App update (or that it needs one), but it is unstable and often crashes in iOS.

### 1/5 — Thux

*2026-05-16, version 50.12.250063678*

I’m not gay but it sounds like I am, eh? The app is an absolute abortion. It locks up, shuts down and randomly reads the articles aloud to me regardless of my settings. Pages randomly re-arrange and I subsequently cannot locate articles I saw and wanted to read. If the Post Gazoo wasn’t so left leaning I’d probably follow it. You can do better Trib!

### 1/5 — Bugs need fixed

*2026-05-11, version 50.12.250063678*

I used to enjoy reading stories but now if I go into any tab besides the top stories it will automatically kick me out of the app and close it. Please fix.
