User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise the app for offering local news and a clean layout but are overwhelmed by subscription gating, reliability problems, and stale content. Users report frequent crashes, slow updates, and signs of aggressive paywalls that block access unless subscribed. Navigational issues and poor search compound frustration, while ads and pop-ups further degrade the reading experience. Overall, the Daily Local app has potential for local coverage and a nice interface, but its current paywalls, reliability, and content gaps drive widespread dissatisfaction.
Pros
  • Provides local news coverage for the area (Chester County) and local events, serving as a useful local supplement.
  • Modern, pleasant layout when the app is functioning.
  • When it works, the reading experience is decent for local news.
Cons
  • Paywalls and subscription requirements to read articles, with auto-renewal and difficult online cancellation.
  • Frequent performance issues and instability: crashes on opening, endless spinning, and content unavailable or rarely updated.
  • Content is often outdated, with few current local stories and limited coverage.
  • Poor navigation and search experience: morning edition hard to find, and article search is ineffective.
  • Excessive ads and pop-ups that interrupt reading and degrade the experience.

This is a good supplement to the Philadelphia Inquirer as it covers local news and events and other state and national news and issues not well covered in the larger city newspaper.

I just subscribed to the digital DLN and find it useless with this App. Nothing but pop ups and re-directs, can’t even finish an article.
