Cleveland.com for Negative User Reviews

✓ IssuesThis used to be a great app. This last update has some serious issues. Can no longer see all sports. Have to dive into specific categories- browns, Ohio state, etc. It is also running extremely slow. Takes up to 30 seconds to load articles. Definitely need an update..Pots 1111111111Version: 3.7.22

✓ Sad. Just sad.This app performs so poorly, the guys behind it should pay users for the privilege of just trying it. If you need any info about the 216, you’re better off texting friends, or even calling them. You’ll certainly get the scoop faster and more accurately than you would from this app..Final4naticVersion: 3.7.25

✓ Awful appWriters seem illiterate, spellcheck is optional, stories are bland, and firing the entire print staff during the corona virus is cruel. I won’t even go to the website to read the crap stories they write. If you have any media schooling give it a whirl for a laugh and then delete. Whole company is a joke..Realsolution9Version: 3.9.1

✓ Quality is poor.Your articles are very biased. What happened to presenting the story and letting the reader make up their own mind? Your articles are filled with miss spelled words and grammar errors. If your reporters are to ignorant to correct their own articles hire a proof reader..IMG_14Version: 3.7.16

✓ Terrible Refresh RateThe site is terribly slow with updating the news story list, and when a specific article is selected. I do have an older phone (7Plus), however this is not an issue with other apps, including from other newspapers..Olive 18 :DVersion: 3.9.4

✓ App constantly freezesThe app will be working fine then in the middle of an article it will lock up not allowing any navigation. This happens repeatedly and requires you to close and reopen the application. This is terrible for a subscription service..Gregg75Version: 4.2.30

✓ Great Content, Wonky Execution.I love accessing content on the PD site but often give up before getting there. On my iPad, the latest content often fails to load. After messing with that for a few minutes, I am in no mood to continue when video ads begin to autoplay..CinVinmanVersion: 3.7.16

✓ Better digital functionalityThere is much room for improvement relative to the Dispatch or Enquirer in terms of other OHio papers apps and internet accessible papers. The notifications aren’t particular robust or helpful and navigation is not user friendly or helpful for someone who is interested in local governmental affairs particularly as they relate to new projects and financings as well as economic development..B17113Version: 3.7.16

✓ Slow appOnly use for obits and it takes forever to load and sometimes makes it impossible to search.Mku529Version: 3.7.16

✓ Poor Design, Tough to NavigateTough to find the info and articles you want. Part of the Plain-Dealer, but not really because of union issues so can’t find articles from the PD you want digitally. Front page of non-news features. Frustrating and confusing..TVNoozeVersion: 3.7.16

✓ Subscriber exclusives stil don’t openFor about 3 months after I became a PAID subscriber I could read those articles. Now I keep getting messages that I need to subscribe. What a rip off!.WsyxpuVersion: 4.2.32

✓ What else can go wrong with this website?I find it extremely challenging trying to negotiate this website. When I post articles the wrong ones show up. The website often freezes. I would like to support something local rather than bash it..Tom is my nameVersion: 3.7.22

✓ ImprovementsVery good local coverage and content. From a technical standpoint, you could improve the app and site by adding scalable font sizes. Some, not all, of the articles are written in a font that is difficult to read on a mobile device and you can’t change the font size nor can you zoom in to read it. That change would really improve the reading experience.Jimmy JomgaVersion: 3.7.22

✓ Greedy and not worth moneyUsed to be great content and now want to charge for mediocre content. This content has been free for many years and they want us to pay now because they can’t figure out their ad revenue. I’m gonna give a hard NO on that!.Buffangus12Version: 3.9.4

✓ Stability issuesSlow response at times and shuts down sporadically. Tried reloading and it does the same..Johnr1582Version: 3.7.15

✓ Complete garbage!Both iPhone and iPad version. Constantly says “No articles” when I click on a section. Been doing this for months. If you feel like refreshing it over and over it might work but I’m tired of wasting time on this garbage..Fribble1109Version: 3.7.25

✓ Local News section is gone?What happened to the local news section? I used to be able to jump straight to the Sun section for my community to read the news there and now it looks like you’ve replaced it with a generic community news section that lists everything together. That’s no good! Please put that back. Subscriber here..EastSideHornsVersion: 4.0

✓ InconsistentThis is one of the worst, if not the worst, app available. A glitch appears every few weeks and the overall design is not smooth at all. If it weren’t for the interest in local NE Ohio news, I would cancel my subscription and still may do so in the near future..ASW_42Version: 3.7.24

✓ Used to be greatThis app used to be great. Now every time I get a new update it wants me to pay 100$ a year to be able to read them. No thanks. There are plenty of free news apps to get the same info. I’d rather deal with some floating ads or an ad video than pay that kind of money..Mackenzie Collins ' JacksonVersion: 3.9.4

✓ Go back to previous versionThe new update layout is horrible. As the other reviewer said so many sections are gone. This new version is terrible. Go back to previous version.Kobe23232424Version: 4.0

✓ Proposed changesNeed more good news and stories .highlight more of the good people. Need to cover high school sports more. Need to put all the crime in one section called”crime” so most of us who don’t care or like reading that crap don’t have to sift thru it. Also have a political section which again readers don’t have to view the biased BS for. Either party..Need food newsVersion: 3.7.22

✓ Bring back the commentsBring back the comments for news and sports articles. The chat during live games was awesome. Please bring it back, thank you..IphonjeffVersion: 4.0.3

✓ Slow, out of date!Probably the slowest loading and least dependable news app on the web. They have never improved the performance. No organization. An embarrassment to the city of Cleveland..ChicoCincoCincoVersion: 3.7.15

✓ All saved articles lost... again.All saved articles are deleted almost every time the app’s closed. This was an issue with previous updates too. This app never fails to disappoint, not just in its functionality, but the ability to report technical issues. May as well just use Safari..Snitz0236Version: 3.7.25

✓ AwfulThis site is one of the worst news sites I go to. As an ex-Clevelander looking to stay informed I see no real information about the neighborhoods, the real people that make up the city. They relegate the crime stuff to a single page and stick to the machinations of the politics, good and bad, of the region/city; sports; and figure out a way to meaningfully report on business. Only then will it have an impact and sell!.ExpatcleVersion: 3.7.15

✓ Good app, average quality reportingThe app works very reliably from a technical standpoint, but as with most news organizations, the quality of reporting from the Cleveland Plain Dealer has gone way downhill with the advent of the internet age. The site is full of clickbait (sponsored ads that take you on a tailspin journey of crap), shallow reporting, and superficial articles..Living AuthenticallyVersion: 3.7.22

✓ Stop the skippingI hate when you slightly move the article to the left or right the article goes right back to the top!.Bpumpa21Version: 3.7.15

✓ It’s BetterIt’s a great app for me, living abroad, to keep up with all things current in Cleveland. The only issue I have is that the “refresh” seems to take forever. Lately though, it seems to refresh a lot quicker..LDNSe10jeVersion: 3.7.15
