### 4/5 — New Press Online

*2023-05-10*

After 12 years of the home delivery of the News Press the cost just got out of hand and I switched to the online version.  The price certainly is much better!  It is convenient to sit in my recliner with my iPad and read the news, thou I do miss holding the paper version.  Most of the time the interface works well.  Sometimes I am unable to scroll through an entire article once chosen, so I have to manually enlarge the print so I can read the rest.  I don’t know why this happens.  One of the reasons I stayed so long with the paper delivery is the daily puzzles.  Now I have to print them out each day.  Even though there is a cost of ink and paper it’s still less than the daily delivery price of the paper.  I recommend the online version to those thinking of cutting their monthly cost of home delivery.

### 4/5 — Love getting the News-Press on line!

*2023-01-02, version 3.6.05*

I love that I can access the online version of the News-Press from my old iPad from anywhere with wi-fi. But don’t abandon the paper option which has its advantages, especially on weekends with multiple readers at home.
My only criticism is that the paper’s dominant focus has become  Naples. As a Lee County resident for over 40 years I have little interest in Collier County news. Have you ever considered two separate editions?

### 4/5 — No star

*2022-12-28, version 3.6.05*

The iPad app is worthless! All I get is a "Token authentication error" message. Repeated calls to customer service offers no advice or fix. The app does work well on my iPhone!

### 3/5 — Like news, need better app

*2022-12-26, version 3.6.05*

This is a morning staple. The app is not always available.

### 4/5 — Online news

*2022-10-09, version 3.6.05*

We are out of town and it is so good to have access to local news and updates on hurricane recovery status!

### 3/5 — Issue with News Press E-edition

*2022-09-16, version 3.6.05*

Been a long time customer and the E-Edition app is having issues today (9-16-22) along with occasional connection issues.

### 3/5 — Kybigbubbaboy

*2022-04-21, version 3.6.05*

My wife and I have enjoyed the News Press both in print and e version for the last five years. However, we will be dropping our subscription for the following reasons:
1. Home delivery has been sporadic in 2022 after never missing a day for two years of Covid shut down.
2. The Gannett/ USA Today liberal perversion has saturated ever inch of what was a great moderately conservative newspaper.
3. The final blow is the upcoming arbitrary decision to change the puzzles. We are especially  upset with the discontinuation 
Of the five in one Sudoku.
We are transplants from a community that had a top 10 Pulitzer award winning newspaper bought by Gannett and today that newspaper is all buddy gone. These people and their decisions are toxic and reflect they care nothing about your community

### 5/5 — Towner 2008

*2021-12-30, version 3.5.08*

Good fair journalism.

### 5/5 — Great Overall Newspaper for SWFL

*2021-12-22, version 3.5.08*

Has National, State and Local news.  Also tells everyone what is up for the weekend .  You must subscribe!

### 4/5 — Great access to the News Press, but….

*2021-12-01, version 3.2.64*

We so prefer the News Press on line version to the print one, for a variety of reasons, which is a surprise to a long time news PAPER readers and have found that it works quite well. One small, but persistent annoyance pertains to the crossword puzzle. We print it out on a daily basis. It automatically becomes a full sheet on our iPad screen ( much easier to work with and see ) only on Wednesdays and Fridays. All other days we have to enlarge the image, take a screen shot, and print it from our photos. Isn’t that weird?
The nice and helpful customer service person that I spoke with about another minor issue that she helped resolve, said she would get back to us about the crossword puzzle mystery, but never did.
Helpful gremlins on Wednesdays and Fridays?

### 5/5 — Easy to use news app

*2021-11-20, version 3.2.64*

I have used this app for several years. It seems to be smoother than past versions. It prints games seamlessly. It is easy to change the size of the font. It is bright and gives me the News-Press wherever I am.

### 5/5 — News Press

*2021-11-09, version 3.2.64*

Love the world news

### 5/5 — Great way to get news

*2021-10-20, version 3.2.64*

I enjoy my print copy of the paper but love the electronic option when I am out of town.

### 5/5 — Bob, Cape Coral

*2021-10-06, version 3.2.64*

Top notch easy to use app that I enjoy every day!

### 5/5 — Next best

*2021-09-20, version 3.2.64*

The on line app is like holding the paper in hand. The best thing next to the real thing….and no paper ink on the hands. The app is easy to use and is the best thing for the environment.

### 5/5 — Fort Myers News Press

*2021-08-18, version 3.2.64*

Enjoy the E edition as we also receive the print edition for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  This allows us to view the other days.

### 5/5 — News-Press Digital

*2021-08-03, version 3.2.64*

The new software version greatly improves readability.

### 5/5 — News press.

*2021-07-26, version 3.2.64*

Love it.

### 5/5 — Warren Tribune

*2021-07-25, version 3.2.64*

Great app love to scan news and read comics

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2021-03-15, version 2.9.10*

All of sudden app says I have no internet connection (when I do) and will not open current editions. VERY DISAPPOINTING!! I pay way too much for print editions to not be able to access online when I want. 
PLEASE FIX.

### 1/5 — Incompatible with iOS 14.3?

*2020-12-15, version 2.9.10*

The app worked fine until my iPad was updated with iOS 14.3 several weeks ago. Now, pages do not fully load or randomly disappear. This problem does not occur on my other iPad which was not updated.

### 1/5 — Frequent Crashes

*2020-11-13, version 2.9.10*

Nice app but recently it's been crashing regularly.

### 1/5 — Very bad app

*2020-06-06, version 2.9.10*

After 4 times contacting their support they could not get the app to work for me.  There was very difficult times in understanding the dialect—definitely not US English.  Can’t recommend due to can’t open use it.

### 1/5 — OBSOLETE APP NO STAR

*2015-11-28, version 2.5.69*

I have used this app for a couple of years without any problems until recently. Just got off the phone with customer service and was told that they no longer support the app. To read the paper from now on you must go to your browser. APP STORE please remove app from your listings.

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2015-02-06, version 2.5.50*

Terrible service. Paying with iTunes then News-press stopped service for non payment. They don't know what they are doing. Cancelled service from Apple

### 1/5 — Still Freezes

*2014-08-22, version 2.5.7*

Works well for some of the paper. Then gets to a page and freezes. Closing app or rebooting iPad doesn't fix it. And I'm paying for the subscription.......

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2013-07-21, version 1.0.0*

App freezes on one page and stays there.  Closing and restarting the app returns you to the same frozen page.  Reading this newspaper online is just frustrating.  Uninstalling the app.

### 1/5 — Too much $$$

*2013-03-22, version 1.0.0*

The price of the paper has gone up to around $25 - simply too much for too little content.  We gave you a chance after your "upgrade" and price hike and the quality of content continued to go downhill.  Too bad after being a subscriber for around 8 years after leaving NDN.

### 2/5 — OK, could be much better

*2022-02-06, version 3.5.08*

Sport scores and a lot of news are not available until two days after events. Some pages come in “blurry”, cannot read those. Wrote the paper with these issues, but no response. Compared to other electronic newspapers, this one is too expensive.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great news coverage every single day!

*2023-07-22*

I am a 6-month annual snowbird in Estero. I continue to receive the paper digitally when I am home in Cleveland. When in the area, I enjoy receiving & reading the actual paper. Great stories—nice blend of news, politics, wellness & culture. And Dear Abby & Carolyn, plus comics.

### 5/5 — Traveling

*2023-07-14*

Being able to get the home news is wonderful.

### 5/5 — Fort Myers News-Press

*2023-02-22, version 3.6.05*

As a subscriber who lives out of state I enjoy the New-Press as it reports the current news now  rather than “yesterdays news tomorrow.”

### 5/5 — Review

*2022-10-29, version 3.6.05*

I enjoy the articles, they keep me up to date on events that effect me and my family and community.

### 5/5 — Mrs

*2022-09-23, version 3.6.05*

I like the app on my phone, but it doesn't work on my IPad where I want to read the paper.  I have to get it through Google.
Not always successful.

### 5/5 — Convenience

*2022-05-27, version 3.6.05*

I was a newspaper guy for many years and thought I would miss the “feel” of the paper. Not so, the ability to read the paper most anywhere trumps the “feel”.

### 5/5 — Great news app for local news and beyond

*2022-03-24, version 3.6.05*

I love this app for many reasons. I am not a fan of watching news on the TV. My interest vary and I can zoom in to read what is important to me, whether local, national, or world news, sports, business, and entertainment. They’re provided each day plus bonus news and features.

### 5/5 — Fort Meyers

*2022-03-24, version 3.6.05*

Wonderful newspaper

### 5/5 — A Great Way To Start The Morning!

*2022-01-31, version 3.2.64*

I have been enjoying The News Press for about 35 years.
This e-paper is fast and environment friendly.
Thanks for offering this!

### 5/5 — Gb

*2021-12-30, version 3.5.08*

Easy to use and read.  Just like the paper.
