Paper app
The app is terrible for phone use. And it will stop working even when reinstalling the app. It is hit or miss if the app lets you enter on the phone. It is not from an incorrect ID or password. It needs to be revised for much better phone usage and not just I pads. It’s to the point we are ready to cancel the subscription.

So much more convenient
The digital form of PG is so much more convenient, sitting in the car waiting for someone or just sitting in the house doing nothing. So much easier just picking up the iPad or iPhone and read the paper at your convenience no pressure no waste no recycling really enjoying it.
Easy to use, good extra content
I appreciate being able to see extra content, like videos or more photos with a news story. The download is easy to navigate, I can make the type larger easily, and the format is my familiar newspaper.
Great reporting
Appreciate the in-depth reporting on issues national and local as well as global. Appears balanced. Informative. Please put more articles on the climate crisis on the front page.
Certainly easy to use the app. Although I have been a fan of a printed copy, have found I really like the digital version.

Excellent way to read the paper
Easy, intuitive user interface, enjoy being able to read full articles by using the headline links. No unnecessary clutter. Highly satisfied.
I am so glad I have a digital subscription to PG
PG Digital newspaper is excellent in every way. Titles are highlighted well in blue ink, I have the ability to enlarge print, and I am free of the accumulation of paper.
Very user friendly
Good way to keep up to date. Highly recommend it.
App review
The app is very inconsistent. There are days I can’t even open the app or get the most current edition. That also applies to the Newslide app. Sometimes it won’t download, other times it’s not in focus, usually have to turn the computer off, and then back on and hope it works. Frustrating!
The app is garbage
Despite the PG’s offensive advertising which mocked those who prefer a true newspaper, the app is dreadfully inadequate at delivering news. Often stories are cut off. Links do not open. And god help you if you want to read something from an earlier edition of the paper. Oh sure, they give you the option of loading the paper from earlier in the week. It is great fun to watch a spinning circle for hours as it claims to be downloading. In total, the app is garbage. Unfortunately the reporting in the paper isn’t much better. It’s sad because the Post Gazette used to be a great newspaper.

Work in progress
I am getting more used to reading the news on the app and it is fairly easy to maneuver but there are still a few minor things to improve on. Not every article is expandable but I’m sure that can be remedied. The show/hide section button is a tad bit tedious. Overall I think it works for me.
Needs a bookmark feature
The app works if you finish reading the paper every day. It does not let you easily read the previous days paper. It jumps the the current day when you click a link and when the screen shuts off. A bookmark feature would be very helpful.
Like the real thing
I love being able to flip through the pages and chose for myself which articles to read rather than a slick app that tries to guess what I would pick. But the app can be glitchy, taking a long time to download, cutting off a line here and there, getting a photo caption wrong.
Post Gazette
No matter what your TV commercials say the printed news paper was better. I find I do not see the paper as often in electronic form as I did with daily printed version. If the electronic version keeps the Post from going bankrupt I will use it but it is not the same. I use my tablet for work daily and research stuff on line but prefer the old Post Gazette

Nice way to Read News on iPad
Just started using PGe app to read through the daily Post-Gazette. Tap to zoom the columns as I read them, highlighting words to look them up on internet and keeping earlier editions to refer back to all easier than an actual newspaper. I am nostalgic for the traditional page layout than seeing what comes on NewsSlide app and will use PGe when I want the view of the old newspaper.

PDF version
I only rated this a three because it takes a long time for the paper to load and you cannot stop reading and pick back up where you left off. You have to reload and start all over. It is heads and shoulders above their other electronic version which is very repetitive in the stories they feature.
Links
Not all the links work. When you tap a link, article doesn’t open up to a full screen. It always needs manually expanded. Cannot go to a specific page.
Sad
What a sad state of affairs for our city. I absolutely do not like a digital newspaper. For a city our size not to have a daily paper is a disgrace. Just returned from Las Vegas; what a super daily paper they produce. At least 4-5 sections per day. Beautifully done.
The publisher of this paper should be ashamed.

Great app
When used on updated device not buggy at all. Love the feel of reading a newspaper and not a website.
Got worse with last improvement
Loads slower, wont load new days issue without a lot of attempts. Terrible app.
Exploring the Paper
One of the joys of reading the physical newspaper is the exploration and stumbling into stories that doesn’t happen in the digital universe. This app allows for that experience to happen. Still need to fix when you click on story to read, but overall closest thing I’ve seen to replicating the physical reading experience.
