Action Lady

My morning doesn’t seem right if I don’t start it with my Iowa City Press Citizen. It has been an important part of my life since moving here in 1958. I like to read the e-newspaper where the material is presented in an orderly fashion.

Still great!

In this tough financial environment, the Press-Citizen is still working hard to deliver cutting edge news each day. I love the app for the choice between the full newspaper or scrolling individual articles. A great paper that keeps the Iowa City Community engaged and informed!!

Frustrated

I’ve always enjoyed the P-C. My subscription is loaded on my iPad and home computer. But my iPhone 16 app does not recognize me and therefore my subscription is not as portable as I want. Gannett tech support is confounded and doesn’t have a solution. I’m in limbo about whether I will renew.

Always There

I can always find up to date information and Hawkeye news each time I click. Plus e- newspaper fills in even more. Great job P-C!
