Good info but often old info
I appreciate the stories that can be accessed, but they are too often a day old. If the app provided information and stories in a timely manner more consistently, it would warrant a higher rating.
Getting much better - potential is high
Much improved app, hugely! Still has some bugs (eg Settings page is blank, Navigating the traffic page is an inexact science). But this has the potential of being a great source for traffic, weather, news, photos, videos. Truly.
Have you tested this?
I've downloaded a new version and can hardly believe that you released this. Did you even perform any basic testing. This is literally the worst performing app that I've seen. How did this happen. The IT director over this project should be fired, along with a few other people.
Works Great
I've been using the app for about a week now and I couldn't be more pleased. Loading is quick plus it has an offline mode which is great when I'm on my iPod. Clicking on links within articles is very easy such as following major columnists on Twitter.
I'm not sure what people were complaining about before, I have ha no problems with downloading new content daily and advertising glitches. I recommend people try it for themselves!

Haters gonna hate
Why are so many babies crying, app is great works perfect, easy to navigate, great layout. All the 1 stares must be old people who have trouble turning their phone on, cant expect the technically challenged to like change. O and for the person who said it asks you to upgrade after you upgrade.... Try opening the new updated app not the old one lol. Dumb People, SMH.

I miss the old version
I still use this app for my hometown news but the old version was much easier to find stories and more user-friendly.
Alright
This version is fine. Compared to some of the other "upgrades" I've experienced with all my local news apps, this one isn't bad. That being said, I'm not sure why it was changed, the old app was excellent.
More effective
I think most people who hate this new version actually hate the boring layout. It's not exciting, I'll grant you that. But now the photos have explanations underneath which is an improvement over every other new site, and after you click on an article, it turns grey so you know which ones you've read and which ones you haven't. Very very efficient, and I've grown to like it. Only four stars though because it truly does look boring.

Major flaws
Very poor redesign, I was much happier with the old version. Daily deals requests location permissions frequently, and new stories will not upload unless you scroll back twice to default menu. Many users could experiment with app for days before learning how to get new stories. Some efforts to improve design had merit but it is grossly outweighed by flaws. 2/5

Why the haters
I too really liked the old version of the PP but this new one is growing on me. Takes some getting used to, however I find it just as easy to navigate. There seems to be many more pics which is a nice addition.
