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.
United StatesToo many ads with expensive subscription
For 10.00 a month there shouldn’t be any ads. There is no difference between free and premium with ads. Premium should not have ads absolutely everywhere.
United StatesI wouldn’t waste a dime on this rag.
Nothing but liberal Democrat propaganda.
United StatesIncreasingly Sensationalist
I 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.
United StatesWorst website
Extremely slow, back buttons sometimes don’t work, obits horribly slow. Get a new IT team!
United StatesPurchased all local news sources and locked them behind a paywall
Use to be my favorite source for news. They gave it a beautiful makeover that seemed to cut down on the content available in general. Then they decided to charge 9.99 a month. It’s fine I understand everyone needs to make money. Some articles are free some are locked. They are locking the essential information about COVID for the state behind a paywall. Terrible business practice. Any information pertaining to what rules we need to follow for a pandemic should not be locked behind a paywall. I am deleting the app after many years.
United StatesWhy 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.
