Love MASS LIVE
Sep 1, 2019 I now live in the Boston area after living in Western Mass for many years. It’s my way to stay connected with what’s happening in my favorite part of the state. I have followed my grandchildren through high school sports, seen the happy and sad news regarding friends and former colleagues and am very appreciative of the great job you do in covering the beautiful Pioneer Valley. Thank you. Ellen Ortyl more -
left leaning politics
Oct 4, 2019 It seems Mass live politics section is very left leaning, as it publishes fake news and does not report on the real things going on in our government. It’s amazing when the rarity that there is a pro trump article how fast it disappears, but the fake news stays on top for days. No wonder why the republican newspaper is losing money and will be out of business in the next couple years... more -
How to improve MassLive
May 28, 2019 Keep the sports news COMPLETELY SEPARATE from all other news. As a non-sports fan, I hate having to weed through the sports articles to get to what interests me. It also makes the website feel extremely disorganized. Thank you. -
Could do with more local news and less sports news.

Too much sports on the front “page”
May 27, 2019 I typically count about 10 or 12 sports stories on the main page and only around four or five other stories. I know how important New England sports are, but it should be a more even mix of other news as well as sports coverage. This makes me rely on WWLP more -
Way too much sports in my feed!
Aug 12, 2020 I don’t mind occasionally greeting a sports article, but in my regular feed, there are way way too many. I’ve tried to find settings that would allow me to adjust this, but I don’t believe there are any. Otherwise, I am very happy with the app. more -
Great news service

Mass live review
Aug 29, 2019 The app needs to be a bit more updated. Difficult at times to get info from specific high schools. Merideth perry is fantastic at her job and writes an objective article. Very good writer -
Sep 24, 2020 Like the app. Keeps me connected with news where I grew up. -
Great coverage of important news that matters to MA residents
Oct 14, 2019 In addition to top news stories MassLive also provides the very best coverage of local news.

Nov 7, 2018 This app provides the latest breaking news updates and local news. But that's about it. Basic functionality like search is broken, articles take unreasonably long to load (for reference, I have gigabit speed fiber optic internet along with one of the latest smartphones, Google Pixel 2 XL, articles should load instantaneously), there is almost no way to customize news or get tailored news options other than notifications, notifications don't load news articles, images/videos take a long time to load if at all, and the app is not very modern-looking, although quite simple. Will update this review after I've seen some changes implemented. more -
Mass live opinion
May 27, 2019 Would have said 5 star, lived in MA for almost 40 years and was forced to move to SC, I miss my home and snow!!! Anyway I love catching up on mass life with this app, but recently there was an article by one of your writers berating the president, personally I think he is doing a fantastic job with his hands tied behind his back but regardless, being the media you should be neutral, keeping your opinions to yourself! It’s like the media LIKES starting trouble by always “STIRRING THE POT”! You do it with the presidency, and you love doing it with race!!! Are you trying to start a fight??? just deliver the news and that’s all!!! GO BRUINS!!! more -
Apr 16, 2021 Thanks for paywalling, that definitely fixes all the app issues -
Mar 20, 2019 Needs to be fixed! All articles are blacked out, overlapping and unreadable. Really disappointed as I m unable to stay up to date on the news -
Slanted reporting
May 2, 2019 Masslive doesn’t even try to be journalists. The reporting from them is clearly slanted to the left. All people want is the news from legitimate journalists but this organization refuses to even have an ounce of integrity. It is extremely hard to take them seriously when readers can find contradictory information about any of their editorials at the drop of a hat on any political matter. Any other news story that touches on politics will either be a puff piece for Democrats or a negative story on Republicans. I would not recommend this app to anyone seeking honest journalism. more -
Dec 7, 2020 Have to close app in order to read obituaries. Pages don't reload properly. -
Use to be amazing
Dec 13, 2020 Use to be my favorite source for news. They gave it a beautiful makeover that seemed to cut down on the content available in general. Then they decided to charge 9.99 a month. It’s fine I understand everyone needs to make money. Some articles are free some are locked. They are locking the essential information about COVID for the state behind a paywall. Terrible business practice. Any information pertaining to what rules we need to follow for a pandemic should not be locked behind a paywall. I am deleting the app after many years. more -
Dec 8, 2020 $100 to read the same news other outlets are putting out?? No thanks. Super greedy for a paper without a working editor. -
Mar 18, 2019 I used to love Masslive. Zero articles can be read now. Literally none. The 2 stars are retro. C'mon guys, fix it! -
Nov 11, 2018 This app never works correctly and loading stories or pics takes a very long time.

MassLive
Nov 3, 2019 Pretty good site. Has lots of stories, but does cover Worcester and Boston as well as Springfield. Love the pictures of people attending events. Always looks like such a fun time, what ever it is! Great info on upcoming entertainment as well. more -
I like it
Aug 15, 2012 I look at masslive for the news. It froze up but just for a few seconds. I was able to find the back button that people could not find previously. Maybe I downloaded this app after they fixed the problem. The ad does get in the way sometimes. But this is a free app so i expected this And it does just what I want it to do and that's to read the news. So good app overall! more

Eats battery, runs in background
Jul 6, 2020 I liked this app up until a few days ago. The latest update allows it to run in the background even though I have set it to not run there. It’s using up my battery (iPhone XS) like never before. If you use it, be sure to force close the app afterwards. more -
Jan 31, 2020 Continuously have to uninstall freezes up on classifieds.

What’s Groovy
Big fan of the content, particularly coverage of State House news and pro sports.
Would love to not have to hit the Home link to see content upon opening the app; all I get is a blank page. The refresh button doesn’t work either.

What’s Subpar
Sucks. Stories that appear in notifications aren't linked. Not one. Not even locateable.
