As soon as you attempt to view a news article, you are prompted for log-in credentials. If you click cancel, you are swiftly exited from that article....I am a current Daily Breeze newspaper subscriber and attempted to create the required account using my status. However, it does not benefit me at all. This is seriously making me consider canceling my newspaper subscription.
I’m so proud to support my local paper by subscribing to their news content. In a world where our local papers are becoming extinct, we need to pay for this wealth of knowledge. The app is easy to use, I don’t experience any issues with ads since I have the unlimited access with no ads subscription service. Great and easy to use!
I tried Daily Breeze app again this morning and I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! Everything I tried worked without a hitch and I enjoyed making the font larger. Thank you to all involved in fixing it. Like the previous reviewers I had tried back in October and it had major issues. But they have been fixed. Yeah!
I was so happy to see your paper on this app! I must say; your news paper is the best in the South Bay beach cities. I've been reading your news paper since I've learned to read and have always referred to your news paper for all my needs in reference to the South Bay Area! It was a pleasure to find you on app, through CHANNEL 7 news link on the web! Would also like to thank ABC7 Los Angeles News station for the link to your app! Absolutely love your app, this app makes my on the go life easy, especially now while searching for employment! Thank you again!
Whenever I want to know about what's going on out there in the world and (even more so) the Southbay! I check out my Daily Breeze breaking news. It continually refreshes all the time. I love it! And haven't had any problems with crushing :))
Overall look of the app is good, I like how the color of the text changes when you open an article, and I like the breaking news feature. The problem, and a major one, is that 80% or more of the time the articles don't open...you just get a blank screen. If this is fixed I could see myself giving the app 4 stars, right now it gets 2..
Requires a subscription to read the news using the app
I used to be able to read local news using the iPhone app. Now, a subscription page is prompted. When you click to close the subscription page, you are redirected to the main page and are unable to read any news articles. The app now only let you read the headlines.
App worked for a few days but then I noticed the news wasn't changing for long periods of time, and now there are no subject selections (you cannot choose 'crime' 'obituaries' 'local news' etc etc.. All you can get is breaking national news.. Sorry I have better apps for National news! Deleting app! Disappointed totally!
The content is great but the U/I often makes it so difficult to access it... I end up going elsewhere for my local news! Almost every time someone sends me a link to a DB story, the app says I cannot access it because I have already reached my max number of articles! PLEASE SORT OUT THE U/I ISSUES so we can enjoy the amazing content!
This new version of the Daily Breeze app is really bad. The ads are huge and in your face. The app prevents you from easily scrolling past the ads to get to the next story. If that isn't annoying enough, the app often crashes. The start-up time is slow and it's very unresponsive. Lots of bugs.
I used to be able to read the stories without having to sign in. However something changed and now I have to pay for a subscription before I can read the stories online? No thanks.
I live on the other side of the country from Los Angeles and the Daily Breeze App allows me to easily see what's going on at home. No problems with it.
This app has always just been mediocre with most stories not showing up in a timely manner. With the last update, hardly any of the articles can be read unless you're a subscriber. Might as well just make it a paid app if you can't get any news!
I absolutely hate the new feature of having an advertisement pop up every 30 seconds. It makes it impossible to use the app. I’ll check back in a few months to see if it becomes useful again or it goes into the electronic trash can.
I like this app, but I don't get why there was nothing written about the Dodgers in the news about California. I mean there was stuff about the Giants losing and the Angles, but nothing about how the Dodgers broke the streak of 13 consecutive wins on the road. What the hec is up with that!!!
When I saw this was a Spreed product, I was looking forward to speed reading my local news. But I was greatly disappointed to find that feature missing in this app.
This used to be a great app for local news. I'm deleting it and will no longer even use Daily Breeze. With so many ads and so much time between events happening and news being posted, this app is worthless. Very disappointed.
This app is ok but I am still trying to figure out how to get to the full website of the Daily Breeze. Maybe it's user error on my part but if there is a way to do it, they don't make it easy.
I love the local focus and they have interesting articles. But app doesn't work. I like local ads to know local businesses- but app, when it worked, had generic online ads. Perhaps this is a form of revenue for them that is under utilized.
The app has been unreliable in the past, sometimes not updating for a couple of days, but now it's been stuck on "Favorites" for three days. Have deleted and reloaded three times, with no improvement.
This Has became useless the very basic news is not even available, One would thought that you wanted your paper to have exposure, What they get now from me is this App deleted, I advise one not to use it , Use the LA Times App.
No access to stories unless you are a subscriber. Better off getting LA TIMES or any other news app, unless you just like reading headlines to stories you can't read.
Any article I tap in brings me to a login page. After pressing close about four times an ad pops up. If you close that you eventually get to the article selected. Horrible app.
This app is even worse than the actual paper. The Daily Breeze used to be a good paper but it is now a shell if itself. The South Bay needs a better local news source. This app is really bad.
This app was working good for a while and now the content just disappeared? You can't choose between subject matter anymore, like crime, sports, local news, etc. Not good...let's get it together.
Half the stories are just headlines. When you click on a story it states article isn't available. Wow! Stories are not up to date stating 2 and 3 days ago this isn't a newspaper it's a magazine at best.
I can't turn off the annoying news pings. It gave me the score to a game I wanted to watch later. Ugh. Not even a spoiler alert. The updates it pushes don't interest me.
I just got this app and am very happy with it. I live in north east San Diego county but still get local weather for my area. I'm a San Pedro native. Still check the Daily Breeze everyday. Thanks for the app
