What happened?!
LifetSavert9111
This app was great before this update. Now it looks amazing but I can’t sign in. There is no sign in section like before and when I open the app after enough time, it makes me pick my patch/s like a new user. I also tried to get help from the feedback and it got sent back to melt email because it can’t receive messages. If I can sign in again I will gladly change my review to 5 stars. The reason I went as low as 1 is because when you break main functions of an app, it’s worthless. It’s like having a kindle app that all of a sudden can’t open ebooks. Saving my settings and bookmarks is a major part of Patch. Please fix so I can rate it what it deserves when it functions properly! Thank you.

The latest version looks nice but keeps asking me to enter my favorite Patch (I have 4) every few days. I’ve tried sending notifying them from within the app but the email keeps getting rejected. Next I tried contacting them from within the App Store but found that to be impossible. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong and I’d love to find out. I used to love the app but it’s now useless.
Go-to local news app

I am changing my review to a one-star from a five-star. I used to love it, but what happened?! What did you do to it with the update? It asks for the basics each and every time I start this app, such as, which cities do I want to add. I mean how many times do I need to input that? I tried signing in with Patch, it asks that I sign in with Facebook. Fine. Then I go through the same rigamarole of answering all the questions again. Deleting this.
Vast improvement

This version is a vast improvement over all previous versions. The ability to save an article was missing in prior versions. There are still times that articles won’t load or take you to the wrong story. As for clickbait, I haven’t used it enough to say. Reading stories should remain in app. Taking a detour to Safari for more stories and ads is wrong. I don’t want to use cellular data on additional unwanted ads. It’s also extra work closing down Safari tabs. As for the content, spelling, grammar, political bias, sensationalism and editing, Patch is on par with Newsday. That’s a pathetically low standard. Basically the Notification gives all the info I need and reading the story is unnecessary.
Unpatched

I thought Patch was supposed to be based on "local" community news/happenings? It has become over saturated with the same old national news stories that I can find elsewhere. Please go back to the small town community format!!!!
Horrible

This app frequently crashes but Patch has always been the best way to find out what is happening locally from locals until this week. AOL sold patch and the new owners fired all the editors. That means your local content creators are fired and without jobs. Way to take the locality out of patch. Shame on them.
sometimes very good; sometimes not so good
