Unhappy
I really liked the Newslide format. This change is frustrating. First and foremost it does not work with the individualized text size feature so that even with readers I have to pinch and move around the text block to see the article. Second the games are NOT interactive as stated in the description but rather printable. I will try it for about a week, see if it is easier to read on my iPad vs my phone, but strongly anticipate canceling my subscription. I will miss local coverage if I do

Good app
I like the app and the e-delivery option but I wish there was a setting to automatically delete old downloaded editions. If you download every day it’s a big effort to go back and delete old editions to keep them from using up too much storage space.
Slows down over time
The app is great for reading the paper. Unfortunately it slows down over time. Their solution is to delete the app and reinstall it. It seems like there should be a better way. I don’t have to do this with other apps.
Today Monday Nov 13, 2023 the app is trying to open the edition for Tuesday November 14. That is tomorrows paper. It does not exist. It is stuck. I deleted it and reinstalled it and it is doing the same thing. This app would be great if it worked.

Doesn’t load
I updated to the new white PGe app a few weeks ago. It says “A new edition is available” and I tap on it (on my iPad). It comes up with a blank green screen that says “menu” at the bottom and I wait and wait. Still nothing. Then I go to the 3 bars at the top left to “sections.” Only the first section shows up of the 3. I tap on it. And the whole thing disappears, back to my page of icons. Very disappointing. Didn’t have as many glitches with the old app.

Worse than facsimile edition
This “new and improved” version is definitely worse than the older facsimile edition which the Pgh P-G has recently stopped supporting. On my iPad, this version is extremely slow to load, freezes on pages unless one is continuously leafing through pages, and won’t resume where the reader left off but instead refreshes to return to the front page. An old fashioned paper was best, followed by a facsimile screen edition. This version fails at a distant third place.

Why can’t I change horizontal vs. vertical display view?
The original app allowed you to display the traditional print version in a vertical view so you could quickly scan down the page, like a traditional newspaper. The new app forces you into a horizontal view and requires more scrolling and you see less of the page. Please allow the traditional view of the paper to render in the old style vertical view.

New white app good so far except …
The new white app I installed today works well so far. The only thing I miss from the previous black app version is the ability to click the word “Link” at the bottom, in order to toggle off the annoying blue, underlined linked headlines. I don’t use those links and prefer the headlines to appear as normal black text while reading.

Just like having a traditional paper boy
Yeah like having an undependable paper boy. Works about half the time correctly. Sometimes it doesn’t clear the previous day’s version and others it doesn’t show the current day. Have to jump to their various platforms to get just a bit of news. I expect much better for something I pay so much for. You used to be credited when the paperboy did not deliver, not so with the crappy technology they use.

Many crashes for this App
This app is highly unstable. First the user is required to download the daily edition which often results in the yesterday’s edition coming up instead of today’s. Second, the current edition supposedly is downloaded but the screen is blank. This requires the reader to delete the app and reinstall it. The Post Gazette needs better access for its readers especially since there is no longer a daily paper edition to subscribe to.

Cannot view in portrait mode as before
We’ve been reading the PGe original on our iPads for years, and it would always auto-rotate to portrait mode. With this new version we are forced to view it in landscape mode only. The text is too large and cannot be zoomed out. Extra scrolling is now required to navigate down each page.
To make matters worse, the PGe original will no longer download new editions and is useless.
