1. [R5] 6abc Philadelphia 5/5 · US This App work flawlessly.: I’ve had this app on my phone for a few years now I never noticed any real major issues. The only thing that sort of annoyed me were the endless paid ads, but I do understand that’s how the new station makes revenue. it’s interesting how people complain about how the app doesn’t work how it’s frozen and glitchy. They failed to mention how old their devices which matters
2. [R38] 6abc Philadelphia 4/5 · US Good local news app: 6abc is the best of the local news apps in our tri-state area. The only way to improve it would be to offer more news that is less center-city centric.
3. [R64] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Out of date articles and BIG ADs: I’m really getting fed up with this app. First, while many articles land in the app days before appearing in the published newspaper; there are many “breaking” stories that don’t show up in the app. The inline adds are getting so big you can’t scroll the page without launching the ads webpage. Finally the video ads become so intrusive it’s not worth reading th
4. [R83] The Philadelphia Inquirer 5/5 · US Excellent, in terms of content and ease of navigation.: I read the Inquirer and (mainly) the Daily News for Philadelphia sports news. It’s all there, everything from game results to stats to analysis and opinion. When the Phillies or Eagles make a roster change, that’s where I find out about it. Their three primary sports columnists each have their own style and are always enlightening. There are
5. [R1] 6abc Philadelphia 1/5 · US FIX IT!!!!! STILL BROKEN: What is the problem that can’t be fixed with the app FREEZING UP? SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER. THE AP FREEZES EVERY TIME. CAN NOT USE THE APP WITHOUT IT LOCKING UP. FIX IT!!! Your competition doesn’t have an app that doesn’t freeze up.
6. [R33] 6abc Philadelphia 3/5 · US Glitching: App is great for news but can you fix the app so my phone does not start glitching and freezing? Other then that good app.
7. [R72] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US App not loading: The App has been "experiencing difficulties" for quite a while. Am I the only one?
8. [R99] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US I love the inky but the app is buggy: The app is pretty, but it crashes all the time and articles take forever to load. Please fix!
9. [R11] 6abc Philadelphia 5/5 · US WPVI: Your station has been glitching all day yesterday and again today. I’ve watched other stations and yours is the only station doing this. What is going on?
10. [R73] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US The worst app: This app is an embarrassment to the once great paper. Frequently unresponsive. No wonder a subscription only costs $1.00 a month.
11. [R93] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US App suddenly closes repeatedly: The Inquirer app has had all kinds of issues over the years but, with one exception, is much better than it used to be. But at least once every day while reading the digital Inquirer, the add just suddenly closes and I have to re-open it (and it reopens at the first page rather than my prior location). This happens at least once every day and still happens after I u
12. [R10] 6abc Philadelphia 1/5 · US ADS: Too many ads
13. [R61] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Subscription with Ads?: I’m paying monthly for a subscription yet still get obnoxious full screen ads that take over the screen and article I’m reading. Really unfortunate. I won’t be renewing my subscription.
14. [R70] The Philadelphia Inquirer 1/5 · US Figure out you online access policies: For the 2nd time in the past 12 months I've subscribed to your online paper. And for the 2nd time I am unable to access any articles, as I'm told I've reached my limit of free access, even though I am logged in. This is incredibly frustrating. I am paying for access and can't access.
15. [R3] 6abc Philadelphia 3/5 · US Minimum OS: Looks like your recent version has surpassed the maximum OS my iPhone can support. I don’t get a new iPhone every time Apple makes a new one. Please update the backwards compatibility. Thanks!
16. [R63] The Philadelphia Inquirer 3/5 · US Half-baked app: I really want to support my local newspaper, but this app is not great, and worst of all the only advertising they manage to attract is from Nigerian princes, weight loss “secrets,” and other scams. I wish the app’s support would addresss issues instead of just ignoring them.
