Easy to use
Getting addicted to immediacy of today’s news and not having to hike to the box to pick it up.
Overall Pretty Good
The PDN app is a basic, no frills reader that allows me to follow local news as easily as I can news from major outlets online. One complaint - and I can’t claim any documented proof of this - is that it seems that there are stories that show up in their hard copy edition before making it to the digital edition.
Another issue is that it also seems that PDN puts some stories up on Facebook before (or without?) making them available in the app. The problem there is that my PDN login info doesn’t save via that portal, so I eventually hit the ‘free story limit’, and have to go through a series of steps to login to my PDN account.
Ultimately, it’s better than generating a lot of solid, albeit recyclable, waste, but it’s not as good as it could be.
UPDATE: Two years on the same issues persist except now I also receive an email with stories that have not yet appeared in the app.

Easy to navigate
I’m enjoying the PDN on my iPad. This is much easier to navigate than I expected based on my experience with a previous app. I receive an electronic paper when none is printed on holidays. The PDN offers a reprise of national news on its second front page, but perhaps less Washington state news.
Great App
This app gives you several ways to read the digital newspaper and I really like it….. For a small town newspaper I am stunned how good the app is as well as the quality of the newspaper!!!!
Excellent
Great way to read the newspaper
