App used to be free, then they changed it to subscription only, but never told anyone, just stopped allowing access to articles. I sent an email inquiring why, thinking it was a bug, they never responded. Had to find out by reading an article from another local news outfit. No big loss, all their typo-filled news articles are also available (sans typos) from other local news outfit... for free. And the app didnt work many times anyway, not worth the subscription cost.

I used to love it but right now, when I click on an article to read, the background is all black and the letters are grey. This just happened the last 2 days. Uninstalled app and installed app to see if that would correct the problem but it did not. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

Let's be honest, the app itself was never anything great. That said, I did read it daily for local news, but now that they're charging $10/month...BYE! It's a shame, PennLive; you could have been more creative with advertising or by offering premium services to paid subscribers. With the new outrageous monthly subscription fee, you've alienated your entire customer base and they'll probably all be gone in no time at all! I just installed the CBS21 app... it's actually very nice... and free!
