Breaking News No Good. After 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

Frustrating. Obits page continually “overtaken” by an Apple or Google-like “you have won” message. Have deleted and reinstalled the app and it still happens. Quite annoying.

Bad service. Keep 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

No longer working. I’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.

Auto-Playing Ads - Don’t Use in Public. I 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.

Update? Just a little bit misleading.. Great decision to roll this out. Getting lots of rave reviews are we? I hope the genius who thought of this gets rewarded. Deceiving a customer is a grand way to conduct business MBA genius. Here's a homework assignment to Mr. Genius......write a essay regarding the quote "Honesty is the Best Policy." Try doing it the old way, go to a library (I recommend Lehigh University) and gather your research there and try your very best not to use Google. Oh, but do use Google to explore how to delete an App from a smartphone......I'm deleting your App right now....without using Google.

Bug fix? Font size. In 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

A Bad Joke. Articles 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.

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

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.

Does what it needs to do. Well-designed news app providing convenient access to local news. Would love it if the Trib Co would hire back all of the local reporters to bolster an important foundation of our Democracy!

Great site.. Great site.

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

New charges??!. I updated from an iPhone 4 to a 5 and downloaded many of the apps I was using daily. The morning call app has always been free (and still is on the 4) but suddenly they want a monthly payment?! It is also free to access their articles through safari, however they have now lost a reader, I will be using the app for the Easton express instead since theirs is free. The pocono record tried this awhile ago and I don't know anyone who has paid. Great way to lose readers!

Morning Call App. I have been reading the Morning Call on my IPad for quite awhile. The improvement over time has been great! I have always received it along with my subscription for the newspaper. I have read the Morning Call all my life-since the 1950's. At times I was very frustrated with the delivery of my paper - the digital paper solved that problem.

Good news app. The Mcall app is excellent in the way it displays news items. It flows well and you can find anything you wish very quickly and easily.

Intrusive Ads. I 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.

lousy paper. Crappy, lazy newspaper that gets worse every year. Mostly canned wire stories and ‘good news’ local crap.

Broken… just like the rest of their technology. Can’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.

Best local newz. Accessibility improved. Easier to use.

Useless app lately. This 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!

Nearly criminal. The 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.

App needs work. The 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.

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.

Can’t read the article. The app will not let me read the article

Logging in. Tired 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?????

Broken app. Edit: Received a response from the developer and the issue below has been fixed. The app works great now. Thank you! The app inserts random letters and characters into the articles, making them nearly impossible to read.

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

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

Updated App has pop-ups that claim I won a prize. Clearly this app has a virus! Please check it. Accessed it twice and can’t read the obits without getting a SPAM pop up!

App doesn’t work for me. After 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.

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.

Constant re-sign in. App is constantly asking me to sign in again and again.

Mcall. As a paying subscriber there are way too many advertisements on the morning call app. Will soon unsubscribe.

Yo. Takes to long to find

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

Every time I open the app through a push notification. Every 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.

Disappointing. The App is slow and it always logs me out and interrupts my viewing with unnecessary ads.

_Cars, ((?))_. Weather;room for debate,

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

Keep abreast in what is going on in Allentown. Since I moved away from town it is a great way to find out what is going on in town.

Horrible idea. So my reward for being a loyal reader for years is that I now have to pay to use the app? My home delivery subscription isn't even enough for access! Well, your reward for having an inflated opinion of the value of your app is that I now use WFMZ and national news apps only. It really wasn't that fantastic an app, and I'm not sure where MCall got this bloated sense of self-importance. I'm certainly not paying $10 a month to encourage it, though.

Mobile app. Cannot read the articles

Articles Won’t Scroll. The 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.

Battery vampire. In 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.

Frustrated. I’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.

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

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!!!

App is broken. It 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.

Frustrating. App 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

Absolutely horrible. This app has gotten absolutely horrible. I now am required to pay to read articles after I exceeded a few articles? Also, it crashes pretty regularly on my iPhone. It's ashame, because at one time it was actually alright.

Good news app. The Mcall app is excellent in the way it displays news items. It flows well and you can find anything you wish very quickly and easily.

Subscription?. Why on earth would I pay for news? Hello WFMZ app! Bye mcall.

Have to pay. App tries to make you pay for "premium" stories that are available for free on MC website

Loved at first. I loved this app when I first got it. But slowly over the last year almost half the articles you have to pay to read. Very aggravating.

Shame on you MCall. Morning Call just lost me as a reader. I'll be using another local source for my daily news.

Subscription. They have the right to charge and we have the right to say no and go elsewhere for our news.

What a joke. Hard to believe the MC ever thought this would be a good idea. Impossible to understand why they haven't reversed it at this point.

Great...until required to pay!. Trying to make it more than it is, a local paper, and requires MONTHLY subscription to read the top articles. Very disappointed!

Morning Call. It's pretty good

Horrible. Not worth it

Buh Bye. Not worth paying no way! Can't believe they are willing to lose customers

Keep having issues. This app keeps closing and or timing out, takes forever to load all headlines. As displaced Lehigh Valley-ite, very frustrating trying to keep current with happenings "back home"

Horrible.. Old news. Back page news. Updates once a day. Wfmz app is much better.

The End. Goodbye Morning Call!!

Really?. $10 per month. No thanks.

There's promise. It's difficult to navigate this app if you want anything but articles. Managing subscriptions is not as easy as it really ought to be.

Your app needs serious help. Every time I attempt to read an article that I now have to pay for, the page disappears and goes to a commercial page on my Safari. Since I now pay to read the articles, this is unacceptable.

Horrible!!. Why would anyone pay for an app to read an already horrible paper? 69 wfmz is free and exactly the same local news.

Kidding me?. 10$ a month? Get real you greedy communists

Crappy news app. Didn't get that much to begin with, now they want you to pay for it. No thanks, I'll continue reading Lehigh valley live and WFMZ. Deleting now.

Don't need it. App deleted and wondering why I need paper copy. I have a subscription for the paper copy and I use to consult the app regularly. Now that I have to pay for using the app, I not only deleted it, I'm wondering whether I even need the subscription. Plenty of other apps that give me the news I want and avoid giving me the bias of the Morning Call

Horrible. Don't wast your time downloading ridiculous that they are charging now...get wfmz ch 69 or lehigh valley live app both are free

Mcall. Shouldn't have to pay to get local news. Deleted! Used to get the paper but it was all ads. Now you can't even read it online.

No thanks. Agree with others. No thanks.

Boo morning call. Scam. Don't update or you won't be able to read articles without a subscription.

Agree, its a waste. Should not have to pay for local news

ImNotSpendingMoneyOnThis. Disappointing app. Can't read any of the "premium" stories without spending money. Lame.i won't buy your awful paper. News Is news. Don't waste your time with this app. Any other local news app is better. Try wfmz or Lehigh valley live.

Morning Call. The recent update made this very poor ap even worse. Very difficult to use.

Worst app ever. You should not have to pay for the news. Get wfmz if you want news and not have to pay.

Not worth it. I already subscribe to the Morning Call at home. Why do I have to pay for the app?

It's not worth paying for. I moved to Louisiana and I always read the morning call via my iPhone. I update my phone and now they want me to pay. What r u thinking morning call?? From previous reviews I see that I'm not the ONLY reader you LOST!! Please make it free again.

Subscription? For mcall? Seriously.. For years I paid for the paper to be delivered to my house. I move out of the area, wanted to stay in touch, now it will cost me? No thanks. WFMZ is good enough.

Does what it needs to do. Well-designed news app providing convenient access to local news. Would love it if the Trib Co would hire back all of the local reporters to bolster an important foundation of our Democracy!

Bad app. Deleted app

Only 5 stories a MONTH free. Much better free options for getting Lehigh Valley news that don't charge you for reading more than 5 stories a month. I downloaded the app and in 10 minutes was screwed and couldn't read another story this month. Lehigh Valley Live and 69 news do not have these restrictions.

Awful!!!. Don't know why such a small local newspaper feels like they can do a subscription based app?? The newspaper is not that good to begin with and then they want money to read?? The are better local news that is free!!!

$120/yr for an app?!?. $9.99/month is ridiculous! No way I'm paying $120/yr for an app!

Beautifully Done!. So happy to see this app finally received a makeover which has been long overdue. New design is simple and elegant. Love it!

Terrible!. Why pay for news when you can get 69news for free and it's the same news??? Waste.

Do not pay for local news. Download "Lehigh Valley Live" instead. Way better app. Are there actually any paying subscribers to the Morning Call?

Kudos. Current easy to use.

Paywall!. Don't bother even installing unless you plan on paying.

Horrible. I liked the old version better. This app crashes frequently and you have to watch a stupid ad when it opens which you didn't have to do in the older version.

Horrible!. I had the morning call app on my iphone4 and was never asked to pay a dime. I just updated to iPhone 5 and now they want money. My boyfriend still has this app on iPhone 4 for free. What is going on here?

No good anymore. I used to be able to read some local news. Now I need to sign in and maybe pay. No thanks. Deleted.

It blows up after reading an article. When I read an article and attempt to return to previous screen, the app returns my to the phone's home screen. The sister LA Times app does not.

Sign in?!. Gimme a break!

Not bad. Crashed alot

Don't download. Can't read stories because you need to have an account, obviously these guys don't care about news
