Out of step with other apps
In 2022, this app needs a major update. The layout of the articles makes them difficult to read and most of the buttons don’t really work. But I’m giving it five stars because Liberation News is the best.

Love the news, poor design
I love Liberation News, but the app design leaves something to be desired. Quality journalism deserves a quality app, comrade ;)
The Winged Hussar2021-08-12

Needs to be updated
The news is good, but it looks like the design hasn’t been updated since it’s release, could use a refresh

Good New But
Very horrible app design. Needs to be updated. Needs a modern design.
Honest Review...!2021-03-24
★★★★★
Great articles, broken app.
I’m very happy with the news articles contained in the app. A welcome respite & true alternative to the MSM bs.
I do have an issue though where I can’t share articles to social media, whenever I try it says the app needs “stream publishing permissions” yet gives me no option for granting those permissions.

My News Updates
The app allows me to instantaneously share articles with all my social medias.

LET ME TELL YOU!
Awesome app! great alternative to the mainstream bs you see every day! commercial free. it's for the people and by the people. gives you a real understanding of our current political climate in the US. Good to see there is a outlet for the working class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
AbeGonzalez2016-02-01

Okay, but...
It's really great to have updates on PSL articles, and all those podcasts, but the app design is frustrating. Click a link from the story, and the in-app browser won't close without leaving the story. Navigation is outdated, would love to see an html5 side menu, and settings options of some sort. Thank you!

The Best!!!
Hey all I am obsessed with this app! It's such a great alternative to the mainstream bs media/news outlets that prioritize corporate interest. The news from the PSL focuses on issues that effect working class people, the poor, people of color, immigrants ect.. Truly Written for the people by the people. I always make sure I load my articles for long rides and lunch breaks. Shoot, forgot all about my music lol. 5 stars, hands down.
Asheea201600002016-01-21

Best access to left commentary
Great functioning app, with excellent articles updated daily giving a left/socialist perspective on important domestic and world events.
PonoPri2013-06-20

Excellent, could use improvements
News is great, however the app could use a more comprehensive share system, updated icons too.
Deathcon52013-05-29

Some real news! Highly recommend
You won't find such a valuable resource for analysis of current and past news elsewhere. If this app is not in your phone then YOU'RE MISSING OUT!
Orlandon't2012-03-30

Great app
The app and the information in it is great, the only improvements I can imagine is making the app a little smoother and look a little nicer. But that's it.

Best news app.
Best news app I have; it landscapes, lets you change text size, and doesn't sell us lies as news.
Vincentmlabarbera2011-08-04

Excellent
Pslweb is by far the best left news source in the US. This app makes it easy to access anywhere I go. It's updated almost daily too.

PSL Web for iPhone - It
It's a brilliant idea! And it's free! Now all the latest PSL web articles download automatically and are ready and waiting for me to read anywhere, especially when I'm stuck without internet connection. I wish I had thought of this myself, and I am a little envious of Stevens Creek Software for beating me to it :) -excellent idea!
