Easy to use and very legible. I think the PR should go digital and use the newsprint money to hire more reporters to do investigative journalism. ### 4/5 — Mrs. Geroulo *2023-11-24, version 3.9.05* I wish it always worked the same way; i.e. that the articles just automatically flowed to the end without having to flip to page 4. I like the fact that the typeface/font size remains the same from article to article. ### 4/5 — Northern NY Coverage *2023-05-28, version 3.8.06* It’s great to see the NNY coverage. Don’t get it anywhere else. ### 4/5 — PR App *2023-04-18* Use it often. Easy to use and very legible. I think the PR should go digital and use the newsprint money to hire more reporters to do investigative journalism. ### 2/5 — Download issue *2023-04-07, version 3.8.06* I like having the Press download. I do miss reading from an actual newspaper. I do find one problem which is often it has shadows on the pages which makes it difficult to read. The larger print option does look correct. I would give it a better rating if this was better. ### 4/5 — PR App *2023-02-23, version 3.5.11* Use it often. Easy to use and very legible. I think the PR should go digital and use the newsprint money to hire more reporters to do investigative journalism. ### 4/5 — Mrs. *2023-01-03, version 3.5.11* I wish it always worked the same way; i.e. that the articles just automatically flowed to the end without having to flip to page 4. ### 4/5 — Paper *2021-04-13, version 3.2.64* Nice app but find sometimes it doesn’t download the full paper. ### 5/5 — Local news still available *2020-12-28, version 3.2.35* Always have to stay on top of the local news and need to support it. ### 5/5 — Stable *2020-12-10, version 3.2.35* I like to read the paper version of the app. Loads quickly on my slow WiFi. ### 5/5 — Great newspaper. *2020-12-01, version 3.2.35* We thoroughly enjoy The Plattsburgh Press. We access it online while traveling and enjoy so very many of the articles. Our thanks to all the able editors and staff of The Plattsburgh Press. Stay Safe. Our best to you in the new year. Eunice & Jim LeClair ### 5/5 — Enjoying it! *2020-11-04, version 3.2.35* Really enjoy the daily.....except Monday.....epaper. Also the updates throughout the day. Truly local, state and national news that are pertinent to the North Country. It’s free with your paper subscription and easy to use. A no brainer. Thanks Press-Republican! ### 5/5 — Press Republican *2020-10-20, version 3.2.35* Kudos to Joey LaFranca for thinking outside the box during this time of limited local sports in continuing to do a great job with the Sports reporting. Keep up the great work Joey! Jim Neyenhouse ### 5/5 — New app for reading on line *2020-10-12, version 3.2.35* Very easy to navigate! Also easy to enlarge for reading. A major improvement over the previous app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inconsistent *2021-03-27, version 3.2.64* This is a very frustrating app. The most recent update does not allow reading one article at a time. From day to day, the formatting changes. Please get a webmaster who knows what they are doing. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-11-17, version 3.2.35* When it works it ok. A little cumbersome. The real problem is I have to resign in every 3 day. And there is no support. ### 1/5 — Worthless liberal trash app *2020-10-02, version 3.2.35* I simply can’t believe how worthless this newspaper is. Don’t waste your time and money. A very untrustworthy source of information. Completely biased. ### 1/5 — No stars *2020-09-05, version 3.2.24* The app is terrible. I pay for the epaper and it won’t load. Good way to lose another customer. I’m tired of spending money on nothing, ### 1/5 — Crossword *2020-09-02, version 3.2.24* Since update it prints so small that you can’t read ### 1/5 — Don’t *2019-07-04, version 2.9.19* Doesn’t deserve any stars, negative five star. ### 1/5 — Kimberly *2015-03-03, version 2.5.54* This is the worst app. I have to delete it and readd it once a month because it stops working. I have emailed for support a few times but never get a response. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Ack! *2015-02-08, version 2.5.54* What a POS app. Never works. Always crashes. Every time. Hire someone to fix because the idiots that made this horrible app should be sued. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2015-01-29, version 2.5.54* Absolutely one of the worst apps I have ever had the displeasure of trying to use. Constantly crashing on all platforms. Constantly asking for password. The Press Republican should be embarrassed putting this app out. I do hope they did not pay anyone to create this disaster. ### 1/5 — Won't use it now! *2015-01-25, version 2.5.54* This was a good app now all of a sudden they want you to pay $1.99 for something they already put in the paper. Back to WPTZ app. Don't waste your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-05-08, version 3.19.24* Really enjoy the PR App! ### 5/5 — Hometown newspaper *2025-06-07, version 3.18.13* Love it ! ### 5/5 — Enjoying it! *2023-06-21, version 3.8.06* Really enjoy the daily.....except Monday.....epaper. Also the updates throughout the day. Truly local, state and national news that are pertinent to the North Country. It’s free with your paper subscription and easy to use. A no brainer. Thanks Press-Republican! ### 5/5 — Excellent paper *2023-05-13, version 3.8.06* It’s wonderful to be able to read the paper anytime on my tablet or my phone. Never have had a problem. ### 5/5 — Review *2022-03-28, version 3.5.11* It is better than no paper but I prefer the issues that are delivered to the door. Thank you for getting the news to us. ### 5/5 — Grateful for this app *2021-12-15, version 3.4.02* It’s great to be able to read this fine newspaper no matter where we travel! ### 5/5 — Keeping up w the North Country *2021-08-03, version 3.2.64* The Press Republican helps me keep up with everything going on in the North Country. I love it! ### 5/5 — Fond memories *2021-05-24, version 3.2.64* Arrived in ‘66 and left in’81. Had good times and bad times, but still like to be in touch. ### 5/5 — Press republican app *2021-03-31, version 3.2.64* Love the app so easy to navigate thru so we can have our newspaper! ### 5/5 — Excellent regional newspaper *2021-01-19, version 3.2.35* I subscribed only a month ago to the Press Republican e-version. I have been greatly impressed by the facility of the app and even more impressed by the depth and thoughtfulness of the PR’s coverage of events and opinion selection. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
