User Reviews

Users value the Virginian Pilot for solid local coverage and staying connected with the region, including sports and local-life content. However, they repeatedly report disruptive, frequent updates; login/subscription access problems; ads that block articles; removal of landscape/e-edition features and tablet navigation issues; and frequent crashes. These reliability and accessibility problems frequently outweigh the app’s local-content strengths.

Pros

Strong local Hampton Roads coverage with photos and local-interest stories.
Valuable local sports coverage (e.g., VHSL Regional tournament).
Helps former residents stay connected to home and community.
Engaging local content like events, waterways, and local life.

Cons

Frequent, disruptive app updates that interrupt use.
Login/subscription access problems and online management difficulties.
Intrusive ads that block content and hinder readability.
Removal of landscape/e-edition features and poor tablet navigation/readability.
Frequent crashes and performance issues.

Private Equity Nightmare- I was once employed at the Va. Pilot and they robbed me of a better retirement package, while donating 50 million to the university of Virginia. Still sorta bitter🤷🏾

Every time I try to click through on a notification for an urgent story, which are the only ones I bother with anymore, the app needs updating. I’m updating twice a week sometimes!!
