News access good-hard to navigate

I consume my news via a hard copy, so use that to stop delivery and get acct information. It is not user friendly for this at all.

Broken

Hasn’t worked in over a month. Can’t get past the opening land “share information” landing page.

Great Sonoma county paper

I’ve been reading the PD for years and like to stay up to date even while on vacation. Keep up the excellent work.

Owner

Love the Press Democrat great app I’ve been a subscriber for many years but what I don’t like is it occasionally telling me I need to sign in what a headache that is they need to eliminate that also also love the notifications keep me up-to-date on what’s going on

Great online update for local news

Local local Sonoma County News online. Well done.

Delivered

I enjoy my paper very much but I have missed paper delivered so many times in the past three months that we get very upset for the past week it has been on time hopefully that will continue

Great newspaper, just needs easier navigation

As a long-time fan of the PD, I rely on the app when I am not in front of a laptop. I would love to see a dropdown with all sections visible. Now I have click on one item to see State, Nation, and World sections. I would also love access to comments through the app.

Much Improved

The Press Democrat has much improved since Richard Green became editor. All the new reporters and focus is welcomed.

PD is great...app is so-so.

I love the press Democrat and read it daily in paper form. Occasionally it’s more convenient to read it in the app, which I am a registered user to use, but the app is glitchy, forces me to sign on every time and won’t bring up my password automatically, sometimes limits access to the range of contents, and so on. It needs some serious work.

The Press Democrat

The Press Democrat provides excellent local, national and International coverage. The sports section reporting is outstanding. Reading the Press Democrat was a ritual that I have kept up with even when traveling abroad.

A great local paper

I really appreciate the Press Democrat both for local coverage and for their National updates. There is always a lot of great information, entertaining comics and puzzles and good editorials. For a relatively “non-urban” newspaper, the PD can’t be beat!

I Need My PD!

I love the PD. It’s my joy to open and read it every day. Without it my morning coffee would be dull, even bitter. I thank God every day that I have such a reliable paper deliverer and I remember to tip him every three months and remember him at Christmas.

The PD is a real, quality and award winning newspaper. It won a Pulitzer. I remember looking at the front page that day and seeing all the news people celebrating. I was proud of them. This was pre-COVID. The PD is locally owned and is still in print every day. It’s got a great digital website as well. I like to take the news quizzes on the website and write letters to the editor every few months. It’s fun to see them in print, though several haven’t been printed. The competition is pretty stiff. We have some great reader/writers out there. I hope the newspaper edition will always be relevant and available. We, in Sonoma County, and beyond are really fortunate to have a great newspaper to read. Subscribe to it today!

Local news

The first thing I did when arriving in Santa Rosa in 1978 was to subscribe to the Press Democrat. I had moved from Southern California where I had read the Evening Outlook for many years. In fact with my mom’s help I learned to read a bit. I had to spread it out on the floor because I could not hold it.
The Press has improved greatly over the years and I am out front at 7:00 am looking for it each morning. I certainly enjoy stories of local people, both current and in the past. Gaye Lebaron is a jewel and I so enjoy Pete Golis. I read several newspapers each day, I am a real junkie. But the Press is my favorite.

Freezes

Someone needs to address the screen freeze that sometimes happens. It’s so annoying.

Logging in...

My iPad is not allowed to log in to the paper, and the password that has worked in the past ( newspaper1) doesn’t work. So I called up the help line ( after 8:00 am ) and after being left on hold for 10 minutes, was hung up on.

I now live in Roswell, GA. It is a few miles North of Atlanta. I was born in Antioch, CA. Just around the corner from Santa Rosa. I found your news paper by accident and I loved the way that you report the local news.

It takes me back and I really enjoy that. I feel so sorry for the people, who are having to live through the terrible wild fires. Keep up the great reporting.

Lucky Us

The Press Democrat is one of the best regional newspapers in the country. Do not take it for granted ever. The journalists and staff there mount a daily trek up Everest so that we can see the world in which we live. Their coverage always begins with the human element. We are very lucky to be so well informed. Our thanks and gratitude to all of you who make it happen daily.

Great Local News Source

The PD is a great source for accurate and detailed reporting. The news App works well. I use it daily and have had no issues with it.

Support independent journalism!

Unbelievable level of pro journalism and stunning award winning photography. Core to democracy is a free press. But in this new digital age of so many acting like a fact is what someone theyve decided to identify with makes up online, too much news is NOT journalism. It takes $ for a truly independent newspaper to survive. For the sake of our democracy, subscribe!
