### 1/5 — Keeps kicking me out of app and saying I don’t have an account.

*2026-04-15, version 8.9.0*

Keeps kicking me out of app and saying I don’t have an account.

### 3/5 — TSA

*2026-03-27, version 8.9.0*

You need to broaden your perspective. For example, regarding the TSA funding issue, consider covering the 20 US airports that use private firms. Look at what other countries do as well.

### 2/5 — Messed up update

*2026-02-17, version 8.8.0*

App worked fine until your most recent update.  Now when trying to resize the page to read articles the page jumps back and forth between different page sizes.  I’ve restarted my iPad and reloaded the app and none of these have fixed the issue.  It is almost impossible to read articles when the app keeps jumping around.

### 4/5 — Sunday Paper

*2025-12-16, version 8.6.0*

We do get the e-newspaper but we do receive a physical newspaper on Wednesday, Thursday and we are supposed get Sundays paper on Saturday thru the mail. On Saturday, Dec. 13 we did not receive a Sunday paper at all. This has happened a few times. Should we get reimbursed or do we go online and read it?I really like reading the physical paper better.

### 1/5 — Keeps kicking me out of app and saying I don’t have an account.

*2025-09-24, version 8.5.2*

Keeps kicking me out of app and saying I don’t have an account.

### 4/5 — A dwindling news source - but all we have left

*2025-09-05, version 8.1.0*

The Post Crescent is only a shell of itself, with minimal local news and so much less community-level reporting then it offered only a 1/2 decade ago. It’s struggling so hard as its advertisers seek easier and more convenient internet routes for product and service announcements.  Its all a mighty challenge for traditional and honest news reporting. 

Whether the “paper” remains such is pretty much a moot point…it’s the honest, quality reporting that counts as tic-tok opinion-esk blather fights for dominance -often over the truth.  Don’t let it!    

The Post Crescent is a precious gem and must be kept and supported by all of us, it’s a true investment and worth every penny we can muster to maintain it.

### 4/5 — On line reading

*2025-08-18, version 8.1.0*

I like the expanded articles with the online edition.   Also getting to read articles at least one day early.

### 5/5 — Post Crescent

*2025-07-08, version 8.1.0*

Good

### 3/5 — Proofreading

*2025-07-06, version 8.1.0*

Doesn’t anybody proofread what you produce?  There are an incredible amount of spelling, grammatical, and obvious, easy factual errors. For example, one story had 2 different years listed for a rather significant event in Packers history. Two errors in one paragraph. The FIRST PARAGRAPH!!

### 5/5 — Great local news

*2024-08-28*

I don’t want to write an essay
