Current day’s e-edition doesn’t work

I got an email from the Pioneer Press saying their dedicated e-edition app would soon stop working and we need to switch to this app. But the e-edition doesn’t work very well in this app. When you switch to the e-edition, you see previous editions of the paper, but only the very top of the current edition. When you tape above that, the full edition does open. When you tap on an article, the article view opens, it you cannot swipe left or right to see the next or previous article. The whole experience is very clunky. If they want to require us to use this app, they should get it working properly first.

Do NOT like new app

We have used the prior app for years.
The new app is hard to navigate. Is there a tutorial? I just want it to open to look like the newspaper without having to do lots of clicks.

Love it, love it, love it. Great local coverage.

Nice option besides the Star-Tribune

It’s nice to read stories from “across the river” from St. Paul.

I notice a few spelling errors, but that’s going to happen, when one is facing hard deadlines, although we now have the benefit of that little red line under a misspelled word, right? An occasional grammatical error also occurs, and I lack an explanation for that.

But on to the app. On my iPhone 14, the digital version is difficult to read at 100%, but that’s true of all digital papers, in my experience. I prefer running through the text messages to get my headlines, but one often misses the editorials, obituaries, etc. by doing this.

I downgraded the editing mistakes, but the app seems to work just fine!

Year old articles

I enjoy reading articles from the Pioneer Press and want to support local journalism. However, when the articles in my newsfeed are 6+ months old, it’s difficult to want to continue subscribing.
