### 5/5 — Excellent papers now in daily in Apps

*2026-07-27*

The Press and Journal is one of the very best. It has a remarkable history and covers both local and regional information. It also provides international news, business and financial information, reviews of the hospitality industry and hotels and of course politics - in fact everything that reputable papers provide.

### 3/5 — Problems with puzzles

*2026-04-04*

Cannot complete the puzzles using website as there is a menu bar hiding lower part of puzzles. Reported on 2 April.

### 1/5 — Never recognises my login details

*2026-02-20*

Never had a real chance to use it as it never lets me login, I always have to reset my password but next time I try to use it, I have to reset all over again!

**Developer response:** Hi Andy, thank you for getting in touch. I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty logging in. Are you able to access your account once you've reset your password? If you are, I'd advise maybe making sure there isn't an old password saved in autofill. If you're still having any difficulty, please don't hesitate to get in touch at p&jdigital@dcthomson.co.uk. Kindest regards, Joanna.

### 1/5 — George Baxter

*2026-02-11*

The evening express moved to the P&J page and I’m not getting to read my evening express I’ve had online for years

**Developer response:** Hi there George, thank you for getting in touch. I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty reading the Evening Express on the P&J app! If you're still having access problems, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our customer experience team at eedigital@dcthomson.co.uk. We will of course be happy to assist you further. Kindest regards, Joanna.

### 1/5 — Wont respond

*2025-01-29*

Can’t respond to me

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-07-30*

P&J was my main read for many years now. Even on Press Reader, when away from the area it had a great app. I’m 78 and struggle with the current app even to the point I’m letting my subscription lapse partly because of these infernal pop up asking me to subscribe to what I have already paid for and then closing me out for cancelling. The online version is equally tiresome again with uncalled for pop ups. I have several subscriptions for daily papers and never have any problem with any of them. I admit I’m finding withdrawals from P&J challenging but your electronic paper is powerfully motivating for me to overcome. I do wish you well with your previously informative and entertaining local paper of choice for this aging teuchter.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and sorry to hear you are having issues. If you are seeing a pop-up asking you to subscribe or sign in, it'll be because you are not logged in at the time. You will only get access to your subscription if you are logged in. Please consider giving our team a call on 0800 029 4955 so we can help you further with this. Our team is available 9-5, Monday – Friday. Alternatively, you can email us at: P&JDigital@dcthomson.co.uk

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2024-07-03*

I have about half a dozen newspaper apps over the last few years and this is the worst by far. Mostly down to unnecessary changes poorly though through. Get it right then leave it alone, P & J!

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. I'm really sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the update. We are working to further improve our new version of our App, and so we'll make sure to pass on your feedback to our team. If you wish to discuss anything further, please contact us! Here is our telephone number - 0800 0294955 . Our team is available from 9-5, Monday – Friday. Alternatively, you can email us at: P&JDigital@dcthomson.co.uk. Kind regards, Codi.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-04-11*

New app even worse than the old one. E-paper often isn’t online until after 0700 and then it is a case of zooming in and out to read a story as there is no longer a version where each story can be read individually. When you complain they simply say you don’t have a subscription! I don’t now, as I’ve cancelled it.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear that you have cancelled your subscription. We are working to further improve our new version of our App, and so we'll make sure to pass your feedback to our team. If you wish to discuss anything further, please contact us! Here is our telephone number - 0800 0294955 . Our team is available from 9-5, Monday – Friday. Alternatively, you can email us at: P&JDigital@dcthomson.co.uk. Kind regards, Michael.

### 2/5 — P & J New App

*2024-04-06*

Sorry, but the new app is not nearly as good as the old one particularly on the Epaper version. Can’t go directly to the back page (I’ve always read my P & J from back to front). Also, I was looking for a previous issue but can’t seem to to be able to do it.
As another reader has said - “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”!

**Developer response:** Hello,
 
thank you for your feedback. If you click on the page icon in the top right corner, you will be given the option to select which page you would like to read. Previous editions can be found by scrolling below the daily E-Paper. If you would like any further assistance, please contact us! Here is our telephone number - 0800 0294955 . Our team is available from 9-5, Monday – Friday.
 
Kind regards,
Codi

### 2/5 — P&J app

*2024-04-04*

Not all usual puzzles accessible. Print icon does not work at all. It would be useful to have an indication that an answer to a clue is right or wrong.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. We are working to further improve our new version of our App, and so we'll make sure to pass your feedback on the puzzles to our team.
