### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-05-02*

Getting addicted to immediacy of today’s news and not having to hike to the box to pick it up.

### 3/5 — Overall Pretty Good

*2025-04-19*

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.

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate

*2025-02-22*

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.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-01-19*

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!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-10-10, version 3.15.03*

Great way to read the newspaper

### 4/5 — Stick with it

*2024-04-29, version 3.9.05*

Took a while to get used to.  I don’t have a PC so I found it difficult to print the crosswords but Support walked me through it, and it works. Yay.

### 5/5 — PDN online with the app.

*2024-04-11, version 3.9.05*

I enjoy the paper online every day! 

I read it in the format that looks like a newspaper. 

The site opens bit wonky but doable.

I like reading online!

### 5/5 — Love my local newspaper

*2024-01-10, version 3.9.05*

We are so fortunate to still have a local newspaper on the north Olympic Peninsula!

### 1/5 — Why is everything in two columns?!

*2023-08-18, version 3.8.06*

Seriously! Most articles are more than a page long so you are constantly scrolling up and down to read an article because everything is in two columns. It's as if the people who own an run the news service don’t use the app!

### 5/5 — Top notch app

*2023-07-25, version 3.8.06*

Easy & efficient. I love that I can increase the size of the print.
