This has been happening to me for a long time. You need to fix. ### 3/5 — It would be nice if it did t crash when I try to use it. *2026-04-23, version 50.12.250063678* Crashes constantly ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-04-23, version 50.12.250063678* App crashes daily on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — CONSTANT CRASHES *2026-03-30, version 50.12.240063662* 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. ### 1/5 — Crashes continually PLEASE FIX *2026-03-29, version 50.12.240063662* 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. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2026-03-24, version 50.12.240063662* 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. ### 1/5 — App crashes more than Indy 500 drivers *2026-03-22, version 50.12.240063662* 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 $$$. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work all the time *2026-03-19, version 50.12.240063662* 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. ### 1/5 — Not all articles are able to be seen *2026-03-12, version 50.12.240063662* Bad ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-03-01, version 50.12.240063662* Doesn’t work well with iOS 26.3. Crashes constantly. ### 4/5 — It’s okay *2026-02-25, version 50.12.240063662* I like the app but it’s been kinda different lately… maybe glitching a bit. ### 3/5 — Problem *2026-02-22, version 50.12.240063662* I click on an article but it does not format, it disappears in a second! ### 1/5 — Terribly designed app. *2026-02-20, version 50.12.240063662* 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 ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-02-16, version 50.12.240063662* App crashes daily on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — What is up with app *2026-02-13, version 50.12.240063662* I do like trib live but lately every time I open the app on my iPad it automatically closes. I have to keep opening it maybe 4 or 5 times before I can read one article. I hope this gets somebody to look into this. ### 2/5 — App Crashes *2026-02-08, version 50.12.240063662* Since the last update, the app constantly crashes on my iPad. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Ughhhh *2026-02-08, version 50.12.240063662* I love to read the Trib, but the functionality of this app is "meh" right now. Scroll thru almost any section and after seeing 3-4 articles, the screen just goes plain white. No words, links, etc. please help! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-01-29, version 50.12.240063662* The app keeps shutting down and several pages have long blank sections with no content ### 2/5 — App Crashes *2026-01-28, version 50.12.240063662* Since the last update, the app constantly cashes on my iPad. Please fix! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Trib *2026-01-14, version 50.12.150063638* I always thought it was a great paper. Thanks n’at. ### 5/5 — Giles Guisbert *2026-01-12, version 50.12.150063621* I am old school. One of my retirement rituals is going out early to my driveway and pick up the Trib wrapped in plastic. While there I wave to my neighbors while they rushed off to work… I feel their envy. Now that the paper will not be there Sunday or Monday or when I am traveling I am glad TribLive is there as close as my phone. ### 5/5 — 1 and ONLY *2026-01-11, version 50.12.150063621* Soon to be Pittsburghs only newspaper!! ### 5/5 — Reliable coverage *2026-01-11, version 50.12.150063621* With the Post-Gazette soon to close, we are fortunate to have the Trib and its reliable sports and news coverage to maintain professional awareness of our area! ### 5/5 — Great newspaper *2026-01-10, version 50.12.150063621* TribLive is a great source of Ed ina convenient format.

Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2024-02-28, version 50.03.190061453* It’s definitely nice to have when you just need to know. ### 5/5 — Trib Live *2023-12-20, version 50.03.190061453* Keeps Western PA updated in a concise manner plus fantastic sports columnists. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
