The Press Democrat

I get an error message every time I try to open it, both on my phone and iPad. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but it didn’t help. I liked it when it worked.

Overall, a reasonably decent experience, but far too slow to load.

What is new but not mentioned with the latest version is an ad banner across the bottom. I pay for online access to the PD. I do this because I no longer live in the delivery area but I want my lifetime local newspaper. My expectation is that I should be getting an electronic copy of the paper- ads and all. You could charge me more for this, but you have no business charging me for the dubious “privilege” of being accosted with an extra splash banner ad every time I scroll to a new page or adjust the size of the one I am reading.

Works sometimes; sometimes not….very frustrating!

Problem “popping” (opening in new page like eEdition) articles - now fails only in current edition but works for previous edition. “Popping” feature added manually as not automatic yet.

Stories are automatically closing themselves after I try to open them on my iPhone XR. I never had this issue with the older version of the PD app. Very frustrating.

The new app is incredibly buggy and prone to crashing. The most annoying thing however, is the fact that it is crammed with animated advertising, even for those that pay plenty of money for a subscription. The eEdition is not bad, but can only be accessed after waiting to load and unload the add-filled home page.

Great difficulty in loading a new edition. Too much time wasted trying to get this poorly designed software to work. With all the good news sites available, why bother with this garbage.

To get today’s version on my iPad I have to delete the app and download it again. Most days, not every day. Works fine on my iPhone. Please fix.

Why try to improve upon something that was working just fine! New is not necessarily better. New app is much harder to navigate and get recent articles. Always asks me to log in again. Crashes. Continually asking me to update from old version when I’m already using new version. Will probably cancel subscription for the rest of the year and try again next year. Too many other sources available. Also Press Democrat has failed to cover news in an unbiased manner. I prefer to make my own decisions rather than being fed politically biased reporting.
