New Press Citizen App

I do NOT like it and neither does my wife. To difficult to read and change font.

Love the Press Citizen!

Best hometown paper ever! 😃

No way to cancel

No way to cancel on the app. I’ve called and told a lady I wanted to cancel my subscription. It just came out of my checking account again!

Hard to view all articles

With Top Stories, “Catch Up”, and the Sections, I never know if I have seen all the latest articles. The Catch Up seems to just force you to see ads.

Iowa City’s paper

What’s not to love?

Sneaky add pop ups are really frustrating!

I’m paying for the subscription but can’t get through an article on the app without inadvertently opening up multiple adds. So annoying. I’d pay a premium subscription price to eliminate this point of frustration.

Great app

One of the best paper apps going!

Frequent subscription/log-in issues

Bugs leading to hassles with logging into my account after updating app. When I finally just gave in and tried to re-set my password, that became a whole unnecessarily complicated journey in and of itself.

The Press-Citizen itself leaves very much to be desired (that could be a whole other rant), but it is still the best option for local news. So I’ll keep dealing with these aggravating and unnecessary tech issues, because what choice do I have?

Doesn’t work with iOS14

Have tried numerous times to open the app after installing iOS14 and it quickly closes each time. Will have to delete it since I can’t use it.

App crashes

Since the last update to version 5.23.1, the app almost always crashes on my up to date 2018 iPad Pro. I deleted and reinstalled the app and restarted the iPad. Support just takes me to the Press-Citizen news page in a browser.
