### 4/5 — Able to keep up local news far away

*2021-05-03, version 6.4.0*

Living outside of Guam with no real-time contact makes it difficult to k ow what is going on on the island. PDN coverage is good, but it would be nice to have more local reporters and artists for the comic section.

### 4/5 — Reliable news source

*2020-09-23, version 5.25.2*

As a journalist, PDN exemplifies fast paced news while adhering to accuracy!

### 5/5 — Keeping in touch.

*2019-10-14, version 5.18.1*

I live in WA St and this is how I catch up.

Thanks !

### 5/5 — Best of the best!!!!

*2019-09-26, version 5.18.1*

Being away from home the mobile app is extremely convenient with always keeping my family & I updated on the news.

### 5/5 — guampdn.com

*2019-03-12, version 5.16.1*

Good, timely content, easy navigation.

### 5/5 — Guam news

*2018-10-16, version 5.11.0*

My daughter has lived on the island for three years .She works at DFS. This enables me to indulge myself in the local news, weather and Island news. I have visited twice to the 
Island and have enjoyed each visit.

### 5/5 — Guam PDN

*2018-08-02, version 5.9.5*

Excellent! Keeping up with the News and Reporting Stories that People can Stay in a Touch with Home!❤️🌹😇🙏

### 5/5 — Good Read

*2017-12-30, version 5.3.1*

I love to read the PDN makes me feel like I am home

### 5/5 — Format and News

*2017-12-22, version 5.3.1*

GuamPDN ranks superior to most city news in the mainland. The format style got better this month; the news, both local-,state- and world-wide are timely and newsworthy. Reading GuamPDN is a daily ritual to keep me updated with the island news because I live off island. Welcome and congrats to the newest Editor in Chief! She rocks! Thank you GuamPDN- keep up the best news articles and proficient reporting. Two disappointments are- you don't publish rating/vote results; the other is the full obituary that we would see on the newspaper. So my PDN rating is still 5 Stars; but this could change to lower rating if the two disappointments aren't met  PDN should publish the full obituaries like in the newspaper and publish the rating/vote results that PDN would ask to rate or vote for opinions.

### 5/5 — Really nice app to have ! Very handy and fast in getting updated news worldwide!

*2017-10-02, version 5.0.2*

Excellent!!

### 5/5 — Review

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No more news updates?

*2021-08-02, version 6.5.8*

The app stopped giving the latest news for over a week now. Not sure if they decided to shut down the app or what.

### 1/5 — No updates

*2021-07-28, version 6.5.8*

4 day old news

### 1/5 — Terribly bias app

*2018-03-27, version 5.5.0*

This establishment should really apologize to the people of Guam. Reason being that it's supposed to be a source of information, but really it’s a method to push an ideology. Journalism should be just to report not to deceive. KUAM provides faster more accurate news report and they generally appear to be non-bias. In short PDN is crap news!!

### 1/5 — App now crashes and doesn't open.

*2017-05-24, version 4.12.1*

Title says it all.

### 2/5 — Guam’s INcomplete Source

*2021-08-03, version 6.5.8*

July news still showing even when swiping down to refresh. Tried deleting and reinstalling, still the same. Please fix and update, thank you.

### 2/5 — PDN mobile app

*2020-10-14, version 6.1.4*

I like the notifications coming in whenever there is new updates on news and information. Too much ads though.
Now every time you try to view the photo gallery of a story, it crashes. Hence the 2 stars from a previous 3.

### 2/5 — Just

*2015-11-26, version 2.5.7*

This is a great app but it would be can be much more improved on the classified side as well as giving advertisements on sales like Kmart and such, otherwise you'd be better off just buying a newspaper. It mostly highlights only the "top" stories and nothing more. Would greatly appreciate for more update for app features but lately I come to find it being the same app as release. If no update within a few months, this app will be gone and I won't even buy a newspaper as I haven't done so in years. Hope they fix this.

### 3/5 — App stuck in July

*2021-08-02, version 6.5.8*

I love this app but it has ceased to update itself. Every time I open the app it has the same news from early July. Nothing is changing. 
And when I click on “app support” it goes to the newspaper support information. Nothing about the app. 
Please fix the app.

### 3/5 — Reader view option needed

*2019-12-29, version 5.22.2*

Larger test for visual impaired would be appreciated

### 3/5 — Need to befull pledge news

*2019-05-26, version 5.16.1*

It seems like slow on update if you check the next day it is the same story

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very resourceful

*2020-12-25, version 6.2.0*

Informative results come in on timely matter.

### 5/5 — Sure thing

*2020-11-21, version 6.2.0*

Great news

### 5/5 — Great way to follow island news

*2020-08-22, version 5.25.1*

Some years ago I spent considerable time on Guam as a FEMA Public Affairs Officer. I have found the online PDN continues to be a great way to stay current with island affairs. The writing is in an easy style and inside a few minutes I have been able to understand current issues and news from Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

### 5/5 — PDN

*2020-07-07, version 5.25.1*

Always up to date with the latest news. Photos and articles are well chosen. Overall, great newspaper to read

### 5/5 — PDN in NC

*2020-06-21, version 5.25.1*

We now live in North Carolina, but my our oldest daughters were “born on Guam.” We will always love Islan Guam, and I am grateful to the Pacific Daily News for the updates.

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate, no paywall

*2020-04-29, version 5.24.3*

The Guam GDN app is great to get news from all across Guam and the mainland United States. Very easy to navigate and to set alerts for breaking news and weather reports from emergency management.

### 5/5 — PDN

*2020-04-09, version 5.24.3*

PDN is a great source to keep me updated to the COVID-19 pandemic.

### 5/5 — Virus

*2020-04-06, version 5.24.3*

I have family in Guam and follow everyday what’s happening!!!  I appreciate the Governor and if it weren’t for the carrier coming in for port of call after being in Vietnam, things would be different, I THINK!

### 5/5 — Reliable and Brilliant

*2020-03-27, version 5.24.3*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Catflick

*2020-02-22, version 5.23.1*
