### 5/5 — Great app for a great local paper

*2026-02-23*

Well designed with options for an easy reading experience

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-01-26*

The FNP app is easy to use and navigate.  I enjoy seeing the pages laid out in print format and then being able to zoom in to read whichever articles are of interest.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-12-07*

Great way to read the paper! For those of us who get a digital subscription it’s so much better than reading the paper online. No need for stack of papers to pile up and I get to see the same edition as those with a regular subscription!

### 4/5 — Almost like the physical newspaper

*2025-10-16*

App works well, but sometimes I can’t get the page to stabilize where I want to read it. Seems to scroll 2 pages at a time, making it funky to grab one to read then continue. Can’t quite figure out how to get magnification to work, particularly to stabilize, too. But I’m mostly reading things the day-of, rather than a day later, and often in the morning versus the evening when we had to settle for mail delivery. I’ve come into the 20th century, I guess, maybe there’s hope for the. 21st.

### 3/5 — Almost What I Want

*2025-07-14*

The app is the only FNP option available to me because home delivery no longer is offered in my area. I get the news, but the presentation of images is subpar. For example, graphs and maps as presented are too small to read. When enlarged they are pixelated and out of focus. Please improve that feature.

### 5/5 — Hometown Proud

*2025-06-17*

FNP provides me with the perfect combination of international, national, and most importantly local news. I rely on the FNP for updates on local public and political news. My favorite section is the 72 Hours insert on Thursdays. Then I can plan my weekend cultural and community activities. An integral part of our family life every day!

### 5/5 — Love the online access to FNP

*2025-04-14*

Easy, convenient, able to find stuff from previous editions with very little effort. And can fill out sudoku on my iPad with my finger. Big fan.

### 1/5 — Poor Design?

*2025-04-12, version 3.9.18*

On my 2nd Gen 11-in iPad Pro I frequently experience a blanking of the screen while reading an article in its entirety in the lower half of the screen AND then being unable to recover the article without closing the FNP app and then reopening the FNP app.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-12-20, version 3.9.18*

Easy to read and use on iPad or iPhone..wherever you are

### 5/5 — Daily reading

*2024-08-06*

Each morning I wake, make my tea and spend my quiet time with the Frederick Newspaper. It is so enjoyable for me to catch up on the daily news around the county. I am a transplant fromNY and so enjoy my daily routine. Really miss the Sunday paper but I understand the expense involved. I have called the paper several times and have always been met with lovely people(mostly women) who helped me. Joanie Poddo
