Frustrated with new subscription model

I have been an avid penn state football fan for over 15 years and when I found this app a few years back it changed the way I followed penn state football. This app would be the first I would open in the morning to read while I enjoyed my coffee and the last I would open to check for any new updates before I went to sleep. The writers do an excellent job and the countless hours of work that they put in covering the team during both the regular season and the offseason does not go unnoticed! I appreciate how connected to the team and fan base I feel when I am able to log into this app immediately after a game and read the rapid reaction, or log in during the middle of summer and read about the latest news on our recruiting of Julian Fleming. This being said, I can’t help but feel frustrated with the new subscription model. I watch every game live on tv, purchase a ticket and travel to at least one game a year from out of state, and buy plenty of penn state gear for myself and family members. All of this attributing to the more than $100 million of operating revenue (and over $10 million of profit) that the university takes in year after year. I can’t help but wonder why the hard working journalists who make this app possible can’t be funded from this pocket of money and instead decide to turn to the fans who make this profit possible and charge an additional $5.99 a month. Before the new subscription model update, this app made me feel closer to the team. It fueled my fandom for all things Penn state football and surely attributed to my penn state football spending habits, albeit in an indirect manner. Now that this model has been implemented I can’t help but feel slightly taken advantage of. I am not taking a shot at any of the journalists and hard working folks that make this app possible, rather hoping that you will reconsider the manner in which the application and journalist are funded! Last note on a more technical side. There is an issue for me because I do not pay for the subscription. When I try to click on non subscriber exclusive articles, the app does not allow me to read them because of a pop of saying that I must subscribe by Pago g the $5.99 a month. I think this is a technical bug that should be looked at. I appreciate you taking the time to read my review and hope that you take these thoughts into consideration.....WE ARE!

Latest update is a downgrade

Disappointed by latest update. Used to be one of my favorite Penn a state football apps. New version requires subscription for many articles and has non-football related stories intermingled.

Developer Response
Covering college sports — sending reporters and photographers to every game, home and away, covering recruiting all year long, etc. — is expensive. We work hard to deliver the broadest, deepest and most passionate coverage of Penn State football available for the price. Also, for $5.99/month, you’re getting not only exclusive Penn State content and our app, you’re also getting full digital access to all of PennLive for a limited time. We hope you find value in that.
