Works intermittently
This app is so inconsistent. It’s terrible. For the last couple of weeks, it will not allow me to open an article. I’m signed in so that’s not the problem.
Clicking on links Seems broken
Like someone else said in another review when I click on a link now and tap on it, nothing happens. It kind of flickers and then does nothing. I checked that I was logged in and I checked to see if there was an update for the app that I had missed or something but no. My subscription seems current and the last update was four weeks ago. I hope somebody can fix this because it’s really really annoying.

No new stories for 4 days and counting
The tiles haven’t updated since Wednesday. The only way to get current news is to go to the e edition but a phone screen is to small to see it well. There are major fires burning in the area and it would be good to have some information available easily
Links are broken
The app has a frustrating bug where tapping on many articles does nothing. More than half the articles I try to open don’t respond and restarting the app doesn’t fix it. Do better PD.
June update eliminated pdf version for me
And when I try to sign in on the pop-up to get it back, it doesn't recognize my password, and when I ask to reset pw, it fails to send link to my email address (yes I checked the spam folder.) Oddly, I'm still able to access stories via Latest News.
Why is an update required so often?
Of all of my apps, the Press Democrat app requires me to update the most often. Please stop requiring updates so often
Updates required too often
Updates should not be required so often. I updated a week ago and am now traveling with low data. I had to wait until I was back in civilization to read the Press Democrat.
Comics on phone
The prior version allow viewing comics in landscape mode. This version doesn’t.
Thus version will show the same article multiple times in single article mode.

Whatever
For the Love of God ! I just want the F’n news when I open your app- bias as it is !!!
local news is critical to me
I catch up every morning to start the day
Older iPad
My IPad will not update to the new version. I am so disappointed. Since I really only use the iPad for reading the PD, I have to cancel my subscription. So sad.
What a mess!
I follow a link and get “that page is not available”. I am asked to subscribe with no link to log in to my existing account. I click around, find a way to log in and I still can’t find the story about the 49ers win, I was informed about. You have work to do; it all worked well before.

Worst news app
It took several tries to be allowed to subscribe to the PD. After repeated “something went wrong” messages I was finally able to subscribe. I’m sure there’s some way around this but I have yet to find it. At present I can access a tiny thumbnail page from today’s edition. If i click on the page, it opens a random article from that page. I have no idea how to increase the page size or how to choose what article will open. I believe I’m computer literate. I’ve been online for about 30 years. I’m reasonably competent at navigating websites if the website is reasonably accessible. It seems like the PD is deliberately trying to chase readers away.

Doesn’t Seem to Work Anymore
I get an error message every time I try to open it, both on my phone and iPad. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but it didn’t help. I liked it when it worked.
Slow to load
Overall, a reasonably decent experience, but far too slow to load.
Paid for ads? Seriously?
What is new but not mentioned with the latest version is an ad banner across the bottom. I pay for online access to the PD. I do this because I no longer live in the delivery area but I want my lifetime local newspaper. My expectation is that I should be getting an electronic copy of the paper- ads and all. You could charge me more for this, but you have no business charging me for the dubious “privilege” of being accosted with an extra splash banner ad every time I scroll to a new page or adjust the size of the one I am reading.

Phone app not a good fit for 24" monitor
I have a 24" monitor the this app can't be resized larger than an iPad Mini. It's like examining an elephant with a magnifying glass.
This is not a good change and does not make me want to continue my subscription.

Horrible
Works sometimes; sometimes not….very frustrating!
Does not pop articles on iPhone Pro Max
Problem “popping” (opening in new page like eEdition) articles - now fails only in current edition but works for previous edition. “Popping” feature added manually as not automatic yet.
