### 3/5 — Updating

*2026-06-11, version 10.0.58*

Nearly every second or third time opening the app initiates request to update.

### 2/5 — Lost print

*2025-07-29*

Can no longer print a puzzle. The option is missing with this new update. Pretty annoying.

**Developer response:** We apologize for this issue the print functionality has been restored to the newspaper.

### 4/5 — Easy Access

*2025-03-18, version 10.0.34*

Save paper.  Digital news at my fingertips.  Easy access.

### 1/5 — Caution: No Landscape Mode

*2024-03-07, version 10.0.4*

I have been a Daily Press subscriber for over 20 years. First, they made the physical paper too expensive. Fine, I’ll go digital. Now they remove landscape orientation, on an iPad!! It is obvious that you don’t want me as a customer any longer!

### 1/5 — Too much left propaganda

*2023-09-24, version 6.6.11*

The Daily Press or too far left with their reporting

### 3/5 — Scrolling in stories still an issue

*2022-11-02, version 6.6.6*

I just updated to IOS 16.1 and I can’t scroll stories I access through the app. I have to email the story to myself in order to read it.

### 2/5 — Review ordered paper, cannot get online

*2022-06-17, version 6.6.1*

No local news

### 1/5 — Poor customer service and lousy app

*2022-02-03, version 6.5*

This paper has gotten so expensive I was forced to move to the app and go online.  But, now the app is so poor and buggy, and the offshore customer service is polite, but horrible, I don’t know what we’ll do.  I have ALWAYS subscribed to the local paper my whole life, I hate to quit now, but I also hate paying for something I can’t use.  In addition, even when the app works, about a year ago, the current day’s edition of the paper started to not load until 5am, it used to be available at 4am, when I have to be up for work.  5 am only gives me a few minutes to read whole paper.  Please, fix app and update paper by 4am or you’ll lose another longtime subscriber.  It will be my lose too, I’m sad that local papers are dying!

### 3/5 — Obits

*2021-10-14, version 6.1*

Obits will not stay on  ipad without sliding off!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-03-27, version 5.6.0*

Can’t read news unless you subscribe. Don’t waste your time with this garbage app

### 1/5 — Update

*2021-02-17, version 5.6.0*

Will someone please fix this app!  Every time I start it the app says an update is available, even though I have the latest version.

### 2/5 — Says update Every time

*2021-02-15, version 5.6.0*

This is the most annoying update. Without fail every time I open the app AND change articles it says Update the app. FIX this please!!

### 1/5 — Updated

*2021-01-08, version 5.6.0*

Updated the app...still asks every single time if I want to update.  Send a fix.

### 1/5 — Update

*2020-10-25*

This App says inside it that there are an update but here no. More is full of Google Adds. Disappointing

### 1/5 — Prompt for upgrade that’s already installed.

*2020-09-09, version 5.6.0*

Still get prompted to install v5.6.0 about every other time I open the app, probably 50 times now. 5.6.0 is already installed and has been for 2 months.

### 2/5 — No Update Even Available!

*2020-09-03, version 5.6.0*

Every time I open the app, it says I need to update, but there hasn’t been an actual update in 2 months. Annoying enough that I rarely open the app anymore.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No sharing from app

*2026-03-30, version 10.0.53*

No sharing from app

### 1/5 — Local news?

*2025-10-05, version 10.0.45*

Too much useless national news and very little local coverage

### 1/5 — Still can’t print

*2025-08-18, version 10.0.44*

Still can’t print a puzzle to use offline. Printing the whole page makes them too small to see

### 1/5 — New e-paper

*2025-08-04, version 10.0.40*

Terrible,already made my payment before the updated version was released, I wish I hadn’t, will not renew

### 1/5 — Change of address

*2025-06-05, version 10.0.37*

Guess what I subscribe to Barron’s too and I have the 
“same” problem.
Since last message I received a call from your sales representative wanting to “subscribe to your paper “.
She assured me she would see to my problem start sending me a Wednesday and Sunday paper under a new sales program.
Lo and behold come the next Wednesday and then Sunday my “hopes “were dashed again as I got NO paper again for the umpteenth time.
Plus adding to the misery I STILL have no Barron’s.
Explain to me why my neighbor across the hall gets a paper with NO problem and I can’t get nothing.
I only moved 2 1/2 miles from where I used to live.
You come in second to the Post Office. 
I await to hear from the Daily Press for a change.

### 1/5 — Change of address

*2025-05-14*

Changed address with you February eighth not received paper since after calling 8/9 times to find out why.
Finally had to cancel paper.
Incompetent service.
You should investigate what happened with your local people as they also deliver for Barron’s locally if I’m not mistaken.
Guess what I subscribe to Barron’s too and I have the “same” problem.

### 1/5 — @

*2024-08-09, version 10.0.19*

Service is spotty at best

### 1/5 — Need Peninsula News

*2024-04-05, version 10.0.8*

The Daily Press used to have stories about the Peninsula, but since they’ve merged with the Pilot and been bought out by a hedge fund, that has fired many people including reporters, they have very few stories about Peninsula News. The front page usually is mostly Southside based stories. I’m afraid after reading the Times Herald, then the Daily Press since 1971, I’m going to have to stop reading this paper and rely on local and national tv and online sources for my news.

### 1/5 — I can’t get a paper on line while I’m in Cancun to see who died today.

*2024-03-09, version 10.0.4*

Now you won’t let me send the review, why???

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent timely well written articles

*2024-01-11, version 10.0.0*

Daily Press gives important, local and national articles; well written, accurate, full of important and vital information. The article regarding the Coast Guard is informative, vital to this area,  and well written. It discusses the problems and concerns with  the ongoing measures to work around those and reassures that the Coast Guard will continue to play the important part it has in this region.

### 5/5 — "Need To Keep Local New"

Newspapers are the only voice for local news.
Need to keep reporting.

*2017-01-07, version 4.2*

This is a nice and easy app for reading my local paper. Very clear, crisp images and text. Fast indexing and ability to jump to the sections I want to read first. Stable, has not crashed or locked up on me yet. Nice job Daily Press.

### 5/5 — tremendously improved
