### 4/5 — PB Post review

*2026-05-14, version 28.9.0*

The sports section is excellent

### 4/5 — Convenient

*2026-04-07, version 28.9.0*

A easy way and more economical way to get the news you can get it by about 4:30 AM and no going out in the rain to retrieve. 
The only negative I have is that the software causes the paper to jump from a single page article when I have increased  the font size it jumps to the double page format.

### 4/5 — Local and national

*2026-03-31, version 28.9.0*

Everything in one easy read

### 4/5 — Good feature

*2026-01-17, version 28.6.0*

Like to be able to utilize whenever

### 2/5 — Lame app

*2025-11-23, version 28.6.0*

This app has been frustrating for years. Nothing against the actual newspaper. This app functions awkwardly. Links to articles previewed in emails from the post don’t open. If I click on the thumbnail of the front page of today’s paper, it asks me if I want to open the App Store, even though the app is already installed on my phone. You have to go through so many steps just to see articles from today’s paper. I also subscribe to the New York Times and the app developer for the PB Post could learn a few things from the Times’ much better app.

### 5/5 — Great Local & National Coverage

*2025-11-15, version 28.6.0*

I read the Post daily, keeps me informed on local and national news and entertainment. Love the snarky “Dirt” column on  Real Estate.

### 5/5 — Great news”paper”!

*2025-11-15, version 28.6.0*

Just like reading the newspaper but without the stained fingers & environmental guilt!  The app presents this just like the newspaper Palm Beach Post which I’ve been reading for local news for 40 years, highly recommended for their content, investigative journalism & support for our democracy (a free & independent press!).

### 4/5 — Epaper in my backyard

*2025-10-08, version 28.5.4*

I enjoy reading my epaper in my backyard every morning I am still disappointed that we still have no music critic or movie listing

### 5/5 — PB Post Enewspaper

*2025-09-20, version 28.5.0*

It’s simple to use & gives the feel of the ‘paper’ format.  While most of the Post articles have a non-objective, liberal slant, which is annoying, the local, sports & comics sections are fine.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2025-08-03, version 28.1.0*

User friendly

### 2/5 — E-Paper does not consistently work

*2025-07-22, version 28.1.0*

Too many problems reading e-paper

### 3/5 — New enewspaper format

*2025-07-10, version 28.1.0*

Hate this new format for enewspaper. Not like reading the “paper” at all.

### 1/5 — News deserts

*2026-02-17, version 28.8.0*

While I enjoy reading the Post, the dearth of local coverage is upsetting, not to mention that nationally syndicated columnists have virtually disappeared from the opinion pages.  I realize that the economics of the industry have changed, but doesn’t protecting our democracy count for something too?

### 1/5 — Always telling me I need to subscribe!

*2026-02-12, version 28.8.0*

I have a subscription but it doesn’t seem to recognize me. I called customer service and they were not helpful.
Hard to want to renew!

### 1/5 — PAY WALL!?!

*2025-12-31, version 28.6.0*

News isn’t included in this app. Only a pay wall. Bs.

### 1/5 — Worst newspaper app ever encountered

*2025-11-27, version 28.6.0*

Worst newspaper app of my 4 eeditions of newspapers totally unreliable often does not work

### 1/5 — Very Poor

*2025-11-13, version 27.11.2*

Although I can clearly see sections and news, I cannot get the newspaper to load for reading.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-05, version 28.5.4*

Can’t find a section

### 1/5 — I can’t get the news paper to come up just top stories

*2025-10-03, version 27.11.2*

Help

### 1/5 — Pop up Ads in middle of news

*2025-07-28, version 28.1.0*

Nothing is more annoying than an ad showing up in the middle of an article you are reading for a PAId subscription. Awful!

### 1/5 — Go

*2025-06-28, version 28.1.0*

Where is my news

### 1/5 — Had to cancel my subscription

*2025-05-31, version 27.11.2*

With the old e-newspaper App cancelled, I had to use this App.   The e-newspaper won’t load it’s only a white screen.   Apparently my 4 year old iPad won’t download iOS 16, so this version 15.8 is not compatible.   I will not buy a new iPad for a newspaper, so I canceled my subscription.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-21, version 28.11.0*

Been using for years, no newspaper sneezes, or looking under vehicles and bushes for morning paper, no climbing under the exact middle of parked cars to retrieve my paper without aggravation.

### 5/5 — The best source for local news

*2026-08-19, version 28.11.0*

### 5/5 — PB Post enewspaper

*2026-02-07, version 28.6.0*

### 5/5 — The Post Does the Best Job of eNewspapers
