### 2/5 — Very difficult to use

*2025-11-20, version 6.1.1*

I used to read the SU sports news daily on my iPhone from the Post Standard until something changed about 6 months ago. Now it is difficult to do everything. 5 minutes to log in, difficult to get to sports news, looses connection frequently. I now use more reliable sites to get SU sports news daily.

### 1/5 — Unable to get newspaper on my iPad

*2025-09-02, version 6.1.1*

My payment is currently active but editions section will not appear,  This is incredibly frustrating!

### 2/5 — Paper print

*2025-08-16, version 6.1.0*

I don’t like reading the paper on line.  I like sitting with my coffee and reading a printed paper.  Wish I could still get that more than 3 days a week.

### 5/5 — Still ENJOY

*2025-06-14, version 6.1.0*

I still enjoy the PS everyday since my delivery days(66 years ago).

### 2/5 — Lop sided

*2025-06-09, version 6.1.0*

Have been a reader for decades. Syracuse Post-Standard when owned by Rodger’s Family, published a fair and and newsworthy paper. Journalists as David Case and Sean Kirst wrote excellent articles, there was an editorial staff that held corrupt government officials accountable.
Since Washington Post acquisition all of this has changed to a far left sided content, with majority of printed material from WAPO journalists, and other left sided media, with an agenda far from honest and fair. The editorial staff rarely appear, and fail terribly to hold Politicians accountable. Example are the editorials about the CORRUPT AND ABUSIVE CUOMO administration, as well as a CONGRESS, EDITORIALS I believe tepid and weak in  tone at best. 
A newspaper that fails its readers in honesty, integrity and quality.

### 1/5 — Payment

*2025-05-18, version 6.0.0*

Most terrible page to get around!!!!!

### 5/5 — At least

*2025-05-04, version 6.0.0*

Well they can’t deliver their hard copy BUT the digital copy is there ALWAYS. But I hate to read the newspaper on my phone!!! So I only read headlines and look at things that interest me!!

### 5/5 — Where did it go?

*2025-04-15, version 6.0.0*

Not liking the new format as you eliminated the Sunday Teleword puzzle. The comics are on super overload with too many so I page through which is cumbersome at best using the app.

I’m disappointed overall plus the proofreading seems to be lacking as there are numerous spelling errors on a regular basis.

Please try to improve the Post Standard as it can be a stand out newspaper worth saving.

Just Concerned, thanks.

### 1/5 — Daily crosswords and Sunday samurai sudoku

*2025-03-10, version 6.0.0*

Our family is disappointed that as of 3/9/25 you no longer have the daily crosswords other than The NY Times and LA times  which are often too difficult. We also enjoyed the Sunday samurai sudoku which appear to have been removed from your digital version. 
Please bring them back!!!!🙏🏻

### 1/5 — .com

*2025-03-10, version 6.0.0*

Paid for Syracuse.com but can’t get in.  Help desk not helpful
