### 4/5 — Good balanced paper

*2022-01-03, version 3.5.08*

Recent updates have made it better and easier to return to read where you left off if you leave your device for a while.

### 5/5 — Best Option

*2021-10-20, version 3.4.05*

I travel for work but still want to remain informed and connected to home. Having The Press Enterprise available online is just the thing I needed. I love everything about this and how easy it is to navigate.

### 5/5 — good app

*2021-10-14, version 3.4.05*

easy to navigate and read

### 5/5 — Great With Morning Coffee

*2021-10-13, version 3.4.05*

PE proves great morning catch up, as both the important local and national news are there for you, without having to traverse thru non-essential information.  Enjoy it daily.

### 4/5 — A nice way to read the paper

*2021-07-13, version 3.2.59*

App loads fast and pages open almost instantly. I wish the paper font was a bit larger. But overall, a good app

### 5/5 — What I’ve been looking for

*2021-07-02, version 3.2.59*

This is what I’ve been looking for in local news. I don’t mind some ads that are embedded in the article, but other online news apps use savvy ways of getting ads to show up on the screen that turn readers off.  Keep up the same protocol with readers and you’ll build your readership. I’d pay $1 a month (or more) for ad free news, I think others should too.

### 5/5 — Great e news paper

*2021-06-07, version 3.2.59*

Saves time and resources.

### 4/5 — My news daily and fresh

*2021-05-23, version 3.2.59*

I love being able to open up my P-E app and read my paper whenever and wherever I am. Took a minute to learn how to navigate it but I got it. My only loss here is not being able to do the puzzles. I am happy.

### 5/5 — Dependable and easy to navigate

*2021-05-17, version 3.2.59*

Love this app for Press-Enterprise! It works perfect every time and makes reading the news all about the news; not the app!

### 4/5 — Don’t like disappearing page arrows!

*2021-04-22, version 3.2.59*

Arrows are quirky and sometimes won’t change pages but open an article. Otherwise app is great.

### 5/5 — No Probkem:

*2021-04-12, version 3.2.59*

As stated above this app has been trouble free and easy to use. I look forward to your continued level of quality service!

### 5/5 — Convenient to say informed!

*2021-04-11, version 3.2.59*

I enjoy reading my morning news, this app. works and is convenient when away from my laptop!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t read entire article

*2023-01-29, version 4.0.0*

I used to be able to click on an article and read it start to finish. Now I can only read what’s on the paper page and have to hunt for the rest of the article. Very hard to navigate this app. I’m no tech genius, but I’m not a newbie either, and it seems to me it shouldn’t be this frustrating

### 1/5 — This app need some real help

*2023-01-23, version 4.0.0*

This app lacks consistency, some pages open some pages don’t.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-11-30, version 4.0.0*

We've been with this paper for years and now it tells me the new version is not compatible with my iPad ! I'll be ending all my subscription and future business with this RAG !

### 1/5 — New version not an improvement

*2022-10-23, version 3.6.0*

I’ve been a subscriber to the digital PE and can honestly say this new version is very buggy and not an improvement over the prior version of the app. 

I have reported numerous issues to no avail so thought I would list just a few of the bugs here in hopes to get the attention of an iOS developer and possibly get them fixed(and make the app much more user friendly). 

Prior app allowed you to configure a “Single tap” to read an article (Enlarge it). That option is gone and I now have to double tap to enlarge an article to read. 

Double tapping on an article dows not frame it on my iPad screen. Instead it defaults to the upper left of the page forcing the user to then scroll to try and find the article to read

The header bar covers the top portion of the page after returning to the entire page view forcing the user to scroll to the next page the go back to reframe the header bar. Oh, and the pop up ad at the bottom of the page will also cover some of the text from the paper.  

This new version definitely a step backwards from the prior version and is now as user friendly as the prior version. Whoever QA’d this version sure missed a lot of issues for those of us who read (or try to read) the paper on an iPad.

### 1/5 — This app is not as good as the last.

*2022-08-10, version 3.6.0*

I called and they said someone from technology would call me and they didn’t. I will keep calling and writing these reviews.

### 2/5 — Mixed feeling

*2021-02-05, version 3.2.59*

I have mixed feelings about the published articles and the cost. More expense than the printed edition. Really considering discontinuing subscription.

### 2/5 — Disappointment

*2020-09-25, version 3.2.24*

If there was another local news paper, we would cancel you in a heart beat.  Your continual association with left wing, liberal news agencies is terrible.  The “fake news” reported here and the liberal slant of the Associated Press is overwhelming upsetting.  President has done an amazing job as President but he does leave some things to be desired at a personal level.  Just report the news in an honest and factual manner!

### 3/5 — Article reader fails.

*2024-01-23, version 4.0.0*

I only have older devices. First, my android tablet got “too old”. I have an iPad mini that can’t advance past iOS 12+, so I’m trying that. The pages display, but when I click on an article it “displays” in the reader for a nanosecond, then disappears, leaving the window blank. I live out of the area and have been a paid subscriber since moving, but if I have to buy an new multi-hundred dollar device just to read The Press Enterprise, I guess I’m done.

### 3/5 — Problems with app

*2022-12-12, version 4.0.0*

For at least the last five days I’ve had problems getting into the newspaper. Haven’t had this issue before. Yesterdays paper comes up and I’m looking for an arrow or something to go to todays and end up having to get frustrated and it finally goes or I have to delete app and start all over again.

### 4/5 — Press Enterprise reemerges

*2022-01-10, version 3.5.08*

It is a pleasure to see some life in the local paper. The online version is easy to use and there seems to be enough ads to continue so good job. Now all you need to do is stop using the ultra conservative editorials from Orange County.

### 5/5 — Love this paper!

*2022-07-01, version 3.5.08*

I have been reading the press enterprise since a young teen when I was a delivery boy. Now many years later, I still enjoy reading the news delivered by the press. Now the use of modern technology enhances the news even more. I love this app!

### 5/5 — Reliable Delivery Every Morning

*2022-06-28, version 3.5.08*

Just like a traditional newspaper being dropped at your door every morning, I receive a little bell notification that my paper has arrived.  Early every day, ready and waiting for whenever I have time to read it.

### 5/5 — PE Review
