Top reviews

App sucks

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

Ads crash the app

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

Bugs need fixed

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

Political Bias

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

Tech issues!

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

Unstable - often crashes

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.

Thux

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!

It would be nice if it did t crash when I try to use it.

Crashes constantly

Crashing

App crashes daily on my iPhone.

CONSTANT CRASHES

I used to enjoy this ap but for the past 3-4 months it crashes immediately. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled over and over again but nothing seems to help. Yes, I’ve also powered down and rebooted my iPad and that doesn’t work either. It’s definitely so related. No other ap does this on my iPad.

Crashes continually PLEASE FIX

I can read all the top stories but as soon as I open arts, local or state news it crashes. Large white blank spaces in btw articles. I’ve tried to report it several times and gave up. On to the reviews for visibility.

Unreliable

The app crashes regularly. I can see 4-5 articles under each section and then get a “5049 5”error code. My phone is new and I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and it doesn’t change.

App crashes more than Indy 500 drivers

The app crashes daily on my iPhone 16. Constantly quits unexpectedly and there are large white spaces between articles. You would think with the PG going out of business, the Trib would fix things and make this the best possible experience on the web? I’m sure paid subscription is coming soon! Fix it if you want my $$$.

Doesn’t work all the time

Some stories will open. Others will open for a second or two and then disappear. This is a recent development on the iPad. Very sad since will be the only local news app available in a month or so.

Not all articles are able to be seen

Bad

Crashes

Doesn’t work well with iOS 26.3. Crashes constantly.

It’s okay

I like the app but it’s been kinda different lately… maybe glitching a bit.

Problem

I click on an article but it does not format, it disappears in a second!

Terribly designed app.

It’s not practical to use the website, but the app is unusable. This app is so poorly designed and organized. You can’t find anything you’re looking for, can’t sign into an account, can’t search or find organized article. It’s awful
