Review summary

DK Pittsburgh Sports app offers the best Pittsburgh sports news with excellent writing and subscription perks like ad-free access and member forums. However, many users report persistent app stability issues including frequent crashes, slow loading, intrusive ads, and delayed or ineffective push notifications. Although improvements have been made, bugs such as frozen or blank pages and keyboard glitches remain problematic for some. Overall, while the app's content is highly praised, technical difficulties and advertisements significantly affect the user experience.

Pros

High quality, well-written, and knowledgeable sports content and analysis specifically for Pittsburgh teams.
Subscription offers ad-free experience, membership forums, live Q&A, and other perks enhancing user engagement.
User-friendly and clean interface that provides easy access to desired content.
Continuous improvements and bug fixes addressing app issues over time.
Free access to excellent Pittsburgh sports coverage with optional subscription for enhanced experience.

Cons

App experiences frequent crashes, freezing, long load times, and sometimes fails to load content or open properly.
Intrusive and excessive advertisements disrupt user experience, sometimes making the app unusable without subscription.
Push notifications are delayed and do not lead users directly to the relevant article, reducing their usefulness.
Issues with keyboard not appearing when typing, app not auto-refreshing, and glitches like blank pages during article reading.
Some users complain about buggy behavior persisting over multiple updates, slow bug fixes, and background crashes even when app is closed.

2024-11-23	Ch*****	I'm having trouble with the app. Sometimes, when I open the app, the web page layout is out of whack. Usually restarting the phone fixes the layout, but recently, that's even been hit and miss. I have no problem with DK Sports. Simply the best news source for my teams.

2024-11-16	Jo*****	I am a big fan of DK and his team, but this app is awful. It's slow, a data hog, and constantly crashes. **Update** Still a fan of the content, the app is still awful in 2024. Now, however, they've added the fun of ads being so intrusive that you can't even scroll through the content.

2024-07-17	Ne*****	My app hasn't updated since March of 2023 and no longer even loads. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, signed up for the beta, cleared the cache and data. Nothing worked. The product itself is great, but this app just doesn't work.

2024-05-05	La*****	Love DK, love the content. Since they implemented the ads, the app is frequently unusable, with freezing and crashing and just not loading the content at all.

2024-03-17	Jm*****	I've used the app for YEARS. They continue to upgrade and improve it. Absolutely cannot recommend HIGHLY ENOUGH the caliber of reporting for each of Pittsburgh's main pro teams and even some of the bigger colleges. It's free with ads. BUT get a subscription: you'll get access to the membership only comment forums, AND won't see any ads!

2024-03-04	Pa*****	The writing is good but all the flashy features have made it frustrating. I'd prefer to have an option to see no images or moving gifs unless I select them. I don't think the app likes having data disabled while in the background. I get a lot of notifications that the app has stopped unexpectedly when it isn't in the foreground.

2024-02-25	To*****	The only place you need to be for Pittsburgh sports coverage. I highly recommend paying for the subscription but it's certainly not necessary. You will become a much more astute fan of Pittsburgh sports. Great writing and analysis, and accessible staff! You'll feel like family.

2024-01-29	Ma*****	App is the best that it ever has been. Highly functional and one of my favorites. Reported bugs are quickly fixed in the background and not an inconvenience. Sports coverage is fantastic!! Although the site is freely available, I've subscribed for years. Subscription provides a zero ad format which makes for an infinitely better experience. It's also the level to access Live Qs, commenting platforms, in-person meetings & many other perks. A great value. Love this company's sports product & App.

2024-01-21	Jo*****	Fantastic app/site for any Pittsburgh sports fan. So well done: The writing is off-the-charts great, but with old-school professionalism as a sweet bonus. And the app is easy to use, even for us elderly, fat-fingered luddites.
