If you can weed through the leftist part of the articles, the rest is good reading. DO NOT TRY TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE. They do not speak English, and have no idea what service means. ### 5/5 — E-Newspaper *2026-07-10, version 8.10.2* Being away from home the E-Newspaper is a great way to keep up with the local news. Easy to access and read. ### 1/5 — Horrible UI Excessive Popups Glitches *2026-04-11, version 8.9.0* Title says it all I don’t understand why this app is so antiquated and buggy and useless (for me that is). ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-03-06, version 8.8.1* Well done! Enjoy reading the News-Press. Thorough. Relevant. ### 1/5 — horrible *2026-03-01, version 8.8.1* i subscribe to 4 newspapers and Gannet’s interface is the worst BY FAR. I also pay for home delivery. I would like to pause delivery but is there a mechanism to do this ANYWHERE on the app.? Apparently not. So, I will have to waste my time calling their 800 number during whenever their office hours are. I can barely contain my disbelief. ### 5/5 — Variety of things *2026-01-31, version 8.6.0* Current local, regional and international news. Great sports coverage, including TV schedules for all sports in the Sport section. Lots of great puzzles. Recyclable! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-01-28, version 8.6.0* Well done! Enjoy reading the News-Press. Thorough. Relevant. ### 5/5 — Good coverage for all interests *2026-01-20, version 8.6.0* I like the coverage except it lacks coverage for my ND sports. I read it online every morning and most days work 5 of the puzzle games. ### 5/5 — Great local newspaper with national and world news! *2026-01-18, version 8.6.0* I have been getting the News Press in some form or another for over 30 years. The digital form is convenient, mobile and is helping save trees! The News Press keeps me in the know locally and globally. The price is amazing! Support honest and truthful journalism ! I highly recommend this subscription! ### 4/5 — News press interferes with iPhone web pages *2026-01-14, version 8.6.0* When I attempt to view many web pages a banner for News Press is placed over the top part on the page I want to view. There is an "x" on the news press banner but it does not get rid of the annoying and unwanted banner ## Frequently asked questions about The News ### What kind of content does the app offer?
