### 3/5 — Logs Out Too Much

*2024-08-24*

The app is always logging me out which is very annoying.  Every time I go to look at the paper, I have to log back in.  No one looks at my phone but me, why does it need to log off that much?  It’s a newspaper not my bank account.

### 5/5 — Enjoy local news

*2023-09-17*

Thanks for making it possible to stay connected with my local community

### 4/5 — It’s ok.

*2023-09-09*

The app does what it’s supposed to do, but it can be slow at times and cumbersome. It has improved over the years, though. The current version doesn’t lock up my iPad like the older versions did. Trying to send a story from the app is a joke. It never seems to work. 

The best feature is that it shows the paper as the paper looks, and not like a website.

### 5/5 — Best Newsreader for Small Screen

*2023-05-13*

Love all of the different options for reading the newspaper. Wish other newspapers would use the same app.

### 5/5 — Good to have a paper paper.

*2023-04-01*

We look forward to holding the physical paper and read local news. Keep it going!

### 5/5 — Great way to read the paper

*2022-04-17*

The app that The Astorian uses for digital display is a really great way to read the paper. I enjoy the fact that it emulates the paper edition of The Astorian and when you tap on a section, provides a more readable view.

### 3/5 — Very Glitchty App

*2022-04-07*

One day it works and the next day it requires me to register for an account but says I can’t register for an account because I don’t have an account number. What?!? Too frustrating.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-12-03*

Great

### 4/5 — Early bird

*2021-06-29*

I like getting my news early in the morning like this rather than to wait until late afternoon on our in person delivery place.

### 4/5 — The Astorian

*2021-01-07*

Enjoy reading, especially when I’m out of the area!  Keeps me informed!
