The Morning Call for Negative User Reviews

App is brokenIt is very difficult to read articles as random characters appear in the body of the article. I am not certain anyone cares at the parent company anymore. This is their only way to make money (nobody reads print) and it is a failure..Version: 6.6.10

A biased and one sided newspaper.I no longer wish to receive or read this biased and one sided newspaper. If I could submit 0 stars I would do so - but It will not allow it..Version: 5.6

Useless app latelyThis app has not worked for months on my IPad or IPhone . Keep getting …cannot connect …an active connection is required to view this content. When I finally get it to work when I try and read an article I get a 404 ..sorry we can’t find what you are looking for. What’s the deal!.Version: 6.6.10

_Cars, ((?))_Weather;<puzzles,>room for debate, <scope out jobs, < scope “cars.” Archie where is?.Version: 5.0.1

Will not load!After updating to iPad iOS 15 this app crashes multiple times before finally loading. On a separate note. Why so many ads. The paper already has ads in it so why some many additional ad that make pages load slowly..Version: 6.0

Can’t read in landscapre view on ipadUnlike all the other news apps on my ipad, Morning Call will not rotate to landscape view. Since my ipad is attached to my bluetooth keyboard, turning the thing sideways for morning call is not a welcome thing. Forget it.Version: 10.0.13

Game and comicsWhat happened to the games and puzzle pages and the comic strips. How can a person get through the day without humor first? Please fix this..Version: 10.0.0

ReportingWhy do you always use left leaning reporters and articles. Washington Post, NYT, Los Angeles Times and AP. We are not all AOC’s..Version: 5.0.1

GO WFMZ!Used this app for a couple years, and tried to share a story on FB but got an error. I deleted the app and reinstalled, and now they want money? What a joke! The app sucked already. There were a fraction of stories as on other apps (WFMZ), and they never updated. The same headlines are listed for days. Half of the stories are from an idiot "reporter" named Tracy Jordan, and read something like this (no exaggeration)... A man was assaulted in Allentown today by another man. End of article. I am glad they started charging. Finally delete the app that frustrated me. Only held on to it b/c of sentimental support for a paper I grew up reading. Die MC, Die. If I could rate 0 stars I would..Version: 2.4.0

Logging inTired of constantly having to log in and being told it’s a subscribers only article. Why can’t it stay logged in if I’m a subscriber????? And why is every nickname taken?????.Version: 6.6.15

To the left, please.Left wing publication. I just get for game page, local sports, and not much else..Version: 6.6.8

Articles Won’t ScrollThe current version of the app is completely broken. You cannot scroll in articles - which makes the app useless. Coupled with the constant price hikes - I will be cancelling my digital access before my next billing cycle..Version: 6.6.6

Can’t access our subscription againFrustrated that once again I can’t access our digital subscription, this time after calling the billing department and supposedly getting things fixed. Ugh!.Version: 6.6.8

YoTakes to long to find.Version: 5.3

Battery vampireIn the last 24 hours, I’ve used this app for 1 minute. Meanwhile it’s drained 30% of my battery (the #1 battery user!) with 23 hours and 59 minutes of background activity. Maybe y’all should fix this? There’s absolutely no reason for this app to be consuming that much battery in the background..Version: 5.6

App doesn’t work for meAfter several years of ups and downs, the latest revision has finally knocked me out for once and all. Each day I try to access my paid subscription and each day this wonderful app CANNOT LOCATE MY SUBSCRIPTION. The Paper is not that good to pursue..Version: 6.6.14

FrustratingApp will never open “Breaking News” tab saying “Cannot Connect Active connection needed to view content”on iPad. Even when I have an active internet connection.Version: 6.6.10

No longer workingI’m putting this on the review because the support tab appears to not work. It takes me to a different MCall page. With the new login feature, when I tap one newspaper, it now asks me if I want a free trial subscription when I’ve been paying for a subscription for years..Version: 6.6.13

App needs workThe app often fails to load an article and will just freeze up. I often have to force restart the app. Not worth the money until they clean this app up..Version: 4.13

FrustratedI’ve been a paper subscriber for over 20 years and the app still one that me not let me read online, telling me I need a subscription. Logging in repeatedly is getting very tiresome..Version: 6.6.12

Broken… just like the rest of their technologyCan’t get the app to load news. Lines right up with their subscriber website where if it chokes, you have to log out and back in. Also, like their 2x daily newsletter where no matter how many times you hit unsubscribe, it still gets delivered..Version: 6.6.11

Nearly criminalThe Morning Call has spammed me unrelentingly for years. I downloaded this app so I could leave this review. I have no idea how they got my email address, but no amount of unsubscribing or complaining to them or marking them as spam in gmail can stop whoever their marketing genius is from getting past the filters yet again. They must change addresses and domains to accomplish this, and while it’s some technical feat, it probably isn’t legal. I desperately want off this obnoxious list and am simply trying one more venue here to attempt to effect that. I guess my next step would need to be a state attorney general in Pennsylvania..Version: 4.12

Every time I open the app through a push notificationEvery time I open the app through a push notification my iPhone opens up the Dicks Sporting Goods app. I don’t understand why that happens. It’s very annoying. Please make it stop doing that..Version: 5.6

Auto-Playing Ads - Don’t Use in PublicI pay for this app to get local news. MCall either doesn’t read or ignores feedback. Their video ads play automatically, blaring the volume until you scramble to either mute the volume or stop the ad playback. App is also unstable and often crashes when loading articles. When I find another means of getting local news I’ll cancel my subscription to this and likely the paper version which nobody at the office reads anymore..Version: 4.12

Bug fix? Font sizeIn settings you can turn off the standard font, but then--even though you are presented with a slider to adjust font size--there's only one size available (smaller than "standard"). IPad with Safari.Version: 5.0.5

Bogged down by adsYou pay for the service then are loaded with ads that are difficult to remove..Version: 10.0.0

Lousy paperCrappy, lazy newspaper that gets worse every year. Mostly canned wire stories and ‘good news’ local crap..Version: 5.0.5

Won’t workEvery time I receive an update from Apple ISO morning call app doesn’t work please help me correct this issue.Version: 6.6.11

No Landscape?Why would you remove landscape orientation? And the previous version was so much better where articles could be read in a normal page view instead of in a narrow column where you have to constantly scroll..Version: 10.0.4

Breaking News No GoodAfter a month of the morning call trying, they are still unable to fix the Breaking News tab on the app. I get an error msg that a connection is needed. I am connected to the Wi-Fi, as all else works. Moreover, the MC doesn’t seem to care or even give a d#&m. Sad.Version: 6.6.10

Mobile appCannot read the articles.Version: 6.6.5

Why remove landscape mode?My older mom has gotten the morning call for decades. I was able to get her to learn the iPad and switch from a physical paper to a digital version. All of the apps on the iPad use a landscape view which makes everything easier. The latest update removed this for some reason that makes it much harder for my mom to use. There is no option to switch between both views. Please bring back that landscape view that all tablet apps use..Version: 10.0.4

MCall appVery difficult to navigate using this app!.Version: 6.6.15

Bad serviceKeep on letting people from the Philippines take care of your customers problems. Your paper is going down hill and your American company good care less. David Keeney.Version: 6.6.14

Review of online Morning CallI think this offering could benefit from more rigorous editing. Several articles had multiple repeats of paragraphs. Spelling errors are common..Version: 6.6.10

A Bad JokeArticles will not scroll. This is a useless app. The problem has existed for weeks despite multiple deletions and reinstalling. The real problem is the lack of journalism. But add the scrolling issue to that and you have a 0-star app..Version: 6.6.6

Intrusive AdsI can’t read some articles because of all the ads. After the first few lines I have trouble finding the story. This happens more often on cell phone, than iPad. I know to expect ads from a newspaper, but I do pay for this and at least with a real paper the ads don’t keep popping up and redirecting you to other sites..The Wall Street Journal is 1000 times better online..Version: 6.5

Free for allIt’s about time your e-paper is free. You charge for the e-adds already. Get with it.......just my thoughts.Version: 5.3

DisappointingThe App is slow and it always logs me out and interrupts my viewing with unnecessary ads..Version: 6.6.10

Can’t read articles unless you pay!!So even with everything going on you can’t read articles that have to do with coronavirus, you have to pay for a subscription. Seriously?!?? I’m trying to read about the first death in Allentown where my parents still live so I can see where in Allentown but nope can’t read important information unless I pay for it. How greedy!!! I’ve seen other news outlets have any article related to coronavirus be free. Will be deleting the app. Shame on you!!!.Version: 5.2

Constant re-sign inApp is constantly asking me to sign in again and again..Version: 5.7.1

Value the news. Detest the pop ups that interrupt and are highly annoying.Probably pwill cancel.Version: 5.5
