Too many steps to get to articles
Apr 11
pamas.
I enjoy reading People’s articles, but I need to tap the headline, skip the games (which don’t interest me at all), and write a review before getting to the story I wanted to read! It’s even more complicated than my initial experience, when the story appeared after the logo. I still haven’t gotten to the story, which was billed as the “Top Story“ in my inbox.

Was Good, Now Unusable

I really enjoyed this app for a while; it became my daily pop culture news flow that I’d check up on at least twice a day for almost a year now, but in the past month the app has implemented ads that now take up the entire screen while I’m reading an article with an x out button placed very inconveniently where the battery icon on my phone is, which makes me completed unable to leave the ad since my phone won’t register my finger in that area. These ads will pop up every single time I open certain articles without fail and I can’t find a way to make them disappear, so it’s rendered the app basically useless to me now and completely unusable. What’s the point if I can’t do the one thing I’ve got the app for: read? Very disappointed.

Waited 3 weeks to get new app…not seeing previous magazines

Approximately three weeks ago, my People app quit working properly after contacting Meredith, they gave me a workaround so I could see the magazines which was great. Today the new app was available and all I get is a summary page, no magazines listed, no previous magazine is listed. As a People subscriber for many decades, but a digital subscriber for several years also, this is a very disappointing app. Please tell me that you are still working on Combining the old app with the new app. My digital subscription was just renewed through September, but if I have to use an app or website and everything to get the information I was able to get on the previous app. It will be my last subscription. Please fix this. This is ridiculous.

Horrible

I’ve read People Magazine since I was a kid (I’m 43 now). It’s always been a reliable source and a magazine I enjoy reading. I am super disappointed they decided to add “comments” to most articles. What is this… social media? I enjoy scrolling to the bottom of an article to see related articles and most times I’m forced to read comments. Why? Most of the comments are people who have absolutely nothing better to do in life, arguing and saying rude, irrelevant and entitled things. I personally don’t use social media for that exact reason, and I’m proud of that. But then I’m forced to read this toxic culture I try to avoid on my favorite magazine. I hate it. Please get rid of comments! And stop using AI for articles or learn to proofread!
