Grievance Issues

Private Equity Nightmare- I was once employed at the Va. Pilot and they robbed me of a better retirement package, while donating 50 million to the university of Virginia. Still sorta bitter🤷🏾

Unstable unreliable app

Every time I try to click through on a notification for an urgent story, which are the only ones I bother with anymore, the app needs updating. I’m updating twice a week sometimes!!

Website Not user Friendly

You cannot manage a subscription from the website as you can with every other new media. Must waste time on the phone but only during work hours. My guess is this is no accident.

Too many updates

There are no other apps I use that have to be updated more. It’s at least once a week if not multiple times a week. The app is fine. Please stop updating it or at least wait and do monthly

Why weekly updates?

There are now officially more updates to this buggy app then there are to the actual news cycle. It’s mid-August, and I was just required to perform a second weekly update to access my paid subscription. Meanwhile, at present, the seventh leading news story on the Pilot app is about a July hotdog night at a minor-league baseball stadium. So over the past 3 weeks, there must have only been 6 bigger news stories anywhere else, across all local, state, national, and world news. Maybe update the actual news as frequently as you update the app?
