Ratings and reviews

The content is way too short and useless. I LOVE People and have been a loyal reader for decades. I get all the email newsletters and magazine subscription. But the app so disappointing with a few slides and snippets of content. People, don't follow everyone else with this minimal, social-media type of format! You can get that stuff anywhere. At the very least, mix in some snippets with long-form content -- similar to the magazine's style.

If you want news and have a very short attention span, this is the app for you. For anyone else who reads People for the articles, stick to the website. It's just slides with pictures and snippets, no articles or links to articles. No way to browse categories. No way to customize your homepage other than scrolling and favoriting. Way too basic of an app in 2025 for a top magazine.

Definitely not what you're expecting... There's no articles whatsoever! They only offer a quick, few sentences about something and that is it. I kept scrolling, thinking that maybe I wasn't understanding the app correctly, but I ended up realizing that this app is just way too simple for me. Also, it doesn't offer for me to personalize what I'm interested in. So, if I didn't care to read about Kanye, too bad. He'd still be popping up. 🙄
