### 1/5 — Reading Eagle app for iPad

*2026-04-16*

I strongly dislike the new version of the iPad version of the Reading Eagle app. Instead of showing a single newspaper page at a time, it now shows two pages side-by side. That makes the image too small for me to be able to read the words.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Double page mode can be turned off in the Settings menu. Please click the gear icon in the upper right of he screen, then select Reader Settings and from there you can toggle Double page mode on or off. If it is off, you will only see one page at a time.

### 2/5 — Lame

*2026-01-10*

The app is lame. Why are they so prominently displaying old articles? It’s January and the front page of this app is talking about the Oley Fair thriving. LOL. As lame as the physical paper itself.

### 5/5 — Football

*2024-10-19*

Enjoyed the sports, movie reviews and local news.  First rate !

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2023-08-17*

Can’t get to any articles. Constantly bombarded with ad to subscribe and I’m already subscribed. Cancelling as soon as I finish this review. Just awful.

### 1/5 — The Obituary section

*2023-05-06*

As I scroll down through the obituaries, the page goes blank. I can only read through the B’s then nothing. If I keep scrolling an advertisement pops up but no more obituaries. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Hello

*2023-01-02, version 7.6.3*

The app is black. Deleted app, re-installed(several times), still dark.suggestions?

### 1/5 — Miss old app

*2022-10-04*

I wish this would show a facsimile of the actual page, similar to the Newsmemory app, or the page view option that’s only available online

### 1/5 — Customer Service very poor

*2022-08-29*

News alert repeating every 30 seconds for over 15 minutes.  Called to have a customer service rep look into the problem and all she wanted to do was change my password.  

Jeez people, get someone who knows what they are doing

### 2/5 — Notifications repeated

*2022-08-29*

The same notification repeatedly sent over 5 times 
Stop sending the same notifications

### 1/5 — Extremely poor!

*2022-07-29*

A headline pops up on my screen, and when I go to look at it online, I cannot find it. The search feature is completely useless. Unless you have the exact headline of the article, it doesn’t find anything for you. Frequently I have to login even though I am a full annual subscriber to the print newspaper. I am now paying over $600 a year, including small tip for carrier, but the paper is not much more than a pamphlet, and wastes that small amount of print space on articles re-printed from the AP etc. We are getting less and less local news. If you ask me why I still subscribe, I really can’t give you a good answer.
