MassLive.com for Negative User Reviews
✓ Never currentWhy isn’t this updated and old stuff deleted?.Version: 3.7.15
✓ Subscription... Really?Why would someone pay for local news coverage that’s available for free on several other apps. DELETE ....Version: 4.0.8
✓ Bring Back the H S sports appFollowing local high school sports was was far easier and more enjoyable with WM H S sports app. Also in the obituary section, a search by city or town would be very helpful..Version: 3.7.15
✓ Horrible appComment and find your comment under a completely different story. Especially if it’s the first comment. Whoever keeps deleting comments simply bc you don’t agree with their personal views should be fired. Or it just shouldn’t be allowed. Eliminate this feature!!.Version: 3.7.15
✓ Used to be at least okAlways has had a Liberal point of view but there were still other fair content. This new pay for will never fly and I think there will be steady deleting of the app. Price is to high for most of us. Garbage in garbage out..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Try reading what you “publish”I think that says it all. Misspellings, missing words, repetitive words/sentences. Holy great goodness. No wonder print media is circling the drain — your editors obviously don’t edit or read anything before throwing it out with both the baby and the bath water.Version: 3.7.21
✓ Useless new UI updateNew UI update confusing, frustrating lacks any sense of user control. Deleting app. Useless.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Not what it once wasI used to enjoy this app for an overview of news stories. Now the home page is dominated by sports. It seems like 50-75% are sports stories that I have to sift through looking for news. I’m seriously considering deleting this app..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Not stableThis app is not stable, it crashes often. Has a lot of bugs, doesn't always load latest news. Also load times I believe are slowed down by ads in each page..Version: 3.7.15
✓ Old newsMost of the ‘current’ news is back dated a week..Version: 3.7.15
✓ DowngradeOn one of the recent upgrades your app lost the ability to save the 5-6 last visited sections on the cite. I used to like checking out local news at different cities and towns. This probably happened because of your lack of updated reports from specific localities. Major downgrade..Version: 3.7.15
✓ Increasingly SensationalistI recently deleted this app because of some troubling trends I’ve been noticing, and after reading other reviews, I don’t think I’m alone. You’d expect local journalists to be as impartial and professional as possible, but in recent years I’ve noticed that a frustrating amount of articles seem to be desperate to appeal to a progressive audience, which makes sense given Massachusetts is a blue state, but too often it feels like it’s coming at the expense of actual journalism, relying on insulting sociopolitical buzzwords that just feel like they’re designed to actively divide audiences more than they already are. And before you boil it down to knee jerk partisanship, A) I’m more politically moderate than anything, and B) even AllSides, a news watchdog website, has outright stated that their articles often lean left of center. But honestly, it’s not their political leanings, but more the obnoxious clickbait titles are with loaded language that ruin things for me. I think for new for the Western Massachusetts area, I’ll stick with the reminder, or even 22 or Western Mass News, because MassLive has indicated that they have no interest in real journalism anymore, just sensationalist nonsense like BuzzFeed or the Daily Mail..Version: 4.2.22
✓ ClunkyApp has gotten rather quirky in past 2 months, particularly comment interface. Looks like the maintenance has fallen away..Version: 3.7.21
✓ DeletedNow mostly all the news you need a subscription I’ll stick to WWLP ☺️.Version: 4.0
✓ What no comments??I can no longer leave any comments, it's not an option??.Version: 3.7.25
✓ News if you can afford itMassLive, formally a bastion of information about the communities in which we live, has chosen to only provide their important local journalism to those members of the community wealthy enough to pay $9.99/month. Shame on you MassLive..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Almost uselessThis app is slow and buggy, comment reply notifications simply lead to 404 errors and have for several years now. Awful.Version: 3.7.25
✓ Left leaning politicsIt seems Mass live politics section is very left leaning, as it publishes fake news and does not report on the real things going on in our government. It’s amazing when the rarity that there is a pro trump article how fast it disappears, but the fake news stays on top for days. No wonder why the republican newspaper is losing money and will be out of business in the next couple years....Version: 3.7.21
✓ Worst websiteExtremely slow, back buttons sometimes don’t work, obits horribly slow. Get a new IT team!.Version: 4.2.20
✓ Horrible writersIf I wanted news with misspellings in almost every story with very little editing, then this is the news app for you..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Mass live opinionWould have said 5 star, lived in MA for almost 40 years and was forced to move to SC, I miss my home and snow!!! Anyway I love catching up on mass life with this app, but recently there was an article by one of your writers berating the president, personally I think he is doing a fantastic job with his hands tied behind his back but regardless, being the media you should be neutral, keeping your opinions to yourself! It’s like the media LIKES starting trouble by always “STIRRING THE POT”! You do it with the presidency, and you love doing it with race!!! Are you trying to start a fight??? just deliver the news and that’s all!!! GO BRUINS!!!.Version: 3.7.15
✓ Too hard to view obitsToo much stuff loading... looking for a recent obit can take an hour. I’ll go buy a paper!.Version: 3.7.15
✓ New app is horribleNew app is useless on phone. Confusing layout. Deleting it.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Very biasThe articles are very one sided . There is no follow up on breaking stories. There is more personal opinion than news..Version: 3.7.15
✓ They put up a paywallThis app used to be ok it had decent news content. Now everything is behind a paid subscription for $10 a month that’s insane. I’ll be deleting this app as it has become totally useless now..Version: 4.0.7
✓ SuperfluousMassLive has changed so that to read most stories you have to pay for their service. This is just another change to the site on top of their overly biased reporting and poor quality of writing that ruined the app. There are plenty of other news apps out there and they have just made themselves obsolete!!!.Version: 4.0.7
✓ Eats battery, runs in backgroundI liked this app up until a few days ago. The latest update allows it to run in the background even though I have set it to not run there. It’s using up my battery (iPhone XS) like never before. If you use it, be sure to force close the app afterwards..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Too much sports on the front “page”I typically count about 10 or 12 sports stories on the main page and only around four or five other stories. I know how important New England sports are, but it should be a more even mix of other news as well as sports coverage. This makes me rely on WWLP.Version: 3.7.15
✓ Why do I have to pay?Why do I have to pay to read local news in this app when I can read it for free in other apps? This used to be my go to for the news..Version: 4.0.11
✓ Insensitive writers and editorsThese reporters don’t care how their reports affect families. They write their reports without the concern of consequence. It doesn’t matter to them if they jeopardize the safety of others, then when Alex to take take an active down or modify the article due to safety concerns they advise the family to contact the police..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Slanted reportingMasslive doesn’t even try to be journalists. The reporting from them is clearly slanted to the left. All people want is the news from legitimate journalists but this organization refuses to even have an ounce of integrity. It is extremely hard to take them seriously when readers can find contradictory information about any of their editorials at the drop of a hat on any political matter. Any other news story that touches on politics will either be a puff piece for Democrats or a negative story on Republicans. I would not recommend this app to anyone seeking honest journalism..Version: 3.7.13
✓ Money grab timeSubscription for most news stories now. Good luck. Long time reader here but done now with it. $10/ month!!!! No way would I pay for this. Too bad. Whosever idea that was made a poor business decision App deleted.Version: 4.0
✓ Subscriber ExclusiveMassLive was my #1 source for local news until it switched to a subscription model. Unfortunately, I don’t visit the site much anymore and I rely on other sources for my local news. I would definitely go back to MassLive if it moved on from a subscription model but until then the cost isn’t worth the content..Version: 4.0.7
✓ Great content but…MassLive is arguably the best news source in Massachusetts. The sports coverage is phenomenal. There is more local news from around the state than anywhere else. That being said, the app design is clunky and not easy to navigate. I hope they can redesign it to resemble the kind of first tier news source that it could be..Version: 4.3.9
✓ Way too much sports in my feed!I don’t mind occasionally greeting a sports article, but in my regular feed, there are way way too many. I’ve tried to find settings that would allow me to adjust this, but I don’t believe there are any. Otherwise, I am very happy with the app..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Slow on current eventsStep it up need faster news feeds. My 2 cents..Version: 3.7.16
✓ UmmmmIf you have an option that doesn’t bash police or soldiers you will have your comment disabled by the moderators..Version: 3.7.15
✓ CoverageYour coverage of high school and college sports is deplorable. No schedules, minimal stories and the web page is difficult to navigate. Very poor product.Version: 3.7.22
