### 3/5 — The press

*2026-01-29*

Tired of repetitive pages

### 2/5 — Missing Pages

*2025-02-05*

Missing pages from the newspaper on the daily app. Not good

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

### 2/5 — Improvement???

*2022-02-15*

We used to be able to get articles on the full screen. Now it’s a split screen and I have to tap on each page to get it enlarged.

We also have to constantly re-sign in — the app shows blank pages, when we’re reading, it shuts down for no reason, and there are too many ads!

### 2/5 — Lousy!

*2019-07-09, version 4.30.480042199*

Old stories keep appearing!  “Big Stories” are very unimportant!

### 3/5 — Hate the epaper

*2018-01-15*

Worst customer support ever.  I’m lucky if I can log onto the epaper 1/10 times. I constantly get the error message “too many attempts” whatever that means.  I’ve made multiple complaints with multiple promises to “look into it and get back you”.........NOTHING !

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2017-10-21*

Great way to get local news and weather.

### 5/5 — Great way to catch up on AC News

*2017-08-24, version 4.24.210030407*

Yes

### 4/5 — Need to know right away

*2017-08-23*

I love the alerts on my phone from The Press of AC. Most loved feature!

### 3/5 — Good app

*2017-08-13*

Easy to use app, provides good coverage of local news

### 4/5 — Local News at your fingertips

*2017-08-04*

Great source and great way to stay up to date on local South Jersey news

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-07-15*

Wasn't sure about this app. However it turned out to be a great source of information

### 3/5 — Great way to catch up on current events, weather and traffic delays

*2017-07-12*

Nice app to keep you updated with local events, traffic and weather. Just wished I would have found out about a Caribbean Festival on the beach of AC,NJ. That sounds like I missed a great experience.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pre of Atlantic City

*2026-01-30, version 9.19.3*

Bias one sided news, trigger words to exaggerate their point of view

### 1/5 — Not worth a dime!

*2023-08-13*

This paper will fold SOON! There are like 5 people that work there and most headlines come from AP or other network news sources, and they still manage to screw that up too. Don’t even get me started on their technology! Good riddance!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please email me at csc-digital-escalations@lee.net with the details of your issue and I will look into it. We value our subscribers and want you to have the best experience possible.

### 1/5 — Makes you watch an ad to get to the headlines

*2022-02-04*

I know things are tough in the newspaper business right now, but nonews app should ever force you to watch an ad just to get to the headlines. Even worse to force subscribers to do so! It's time for me to unsubcribe

### 1/5 — Oh how a decent paper has fallen

*2019-12-09, version 5.2*

The Press of Atlantic City used to cover Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Ocean counties with offices in each of the above, and Trenton, an editorial staff of 90-100, and a 1990s press conversion allowing 4 editions a day, the last independent large local daily in the region.

The mast had a line through the middle of the state - claimed - and did - cover all of what we hadda call “Southern New Jersey” - nobody else did - and the paper covered Southern NJ, well southeastern, anyway, last 70 miles of the GSP.

It SOLD ITS PRESS and the building that held it and the newsroom, across the street from a building packed by management, advertising, IT. It closed its three county bureaus and packed the editorial staff of 30 (including its business, features and sports departments, copy editors (gone) investigative team (gone).

It had a garage maintaining its trucks and cars. It competed with Gannett papers in Ocean City and Vineland, and the nearest Coastal rival, the Asbury Park Press, too far north for real competition - but it was still a newspaper power as far as the Statehouse was concerned.

Now it is printed under a “Joint Opening  Agreement  by Gannett/Asbury Park, and specializes on reporting every auto accident.

The paper in one of the best cities to cover the failing Donald Trump and his casino empire is a ghost of itself, specializing in non-newspaper ad books for the AC Boardwalk, about as hot a spot it was before gambling came to town.

### 1/5 — Press

*2019-12-03, version 5.1*

View doesn’t rotate on iPad
Terrible

### 1/5 — $$$$

*2019-06-27, version 4.30.480042199*

I have 5 newspaper apps.  Yours is the only one that limits 15 follow ups. By the way. That’s been out of whack for the past 3 months. Much like the AC government

### 1/5 — Not so up to date

*2019-06-22*

They haven’t changed their opening page or top stories in three days.....certainly there has been something new happening in the area. The paper version has but not the app.

### 1/5 — Overall review

*2019-01-29, version 4.30.480042199*

You send multiple updates stating the same thing. There seems to be the same news posted all the time. Also I am an indecent politically but the write ups seem so one sided in the wording. There needs to be more coverage and more details in the reporting 
Please stop sending repetitive updates about the same story

### 1/5 — Weak af

*2017-01-23, version 4.21.290025502*

Fails to load, slow to open, doesn't have the same content as web version, makes you pay after a certain number of views

### 1/5 — Online press

*2016-05-07, version 4.18.170018420*

Slow

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-05-25*

The app is the best newspaper app there is as far as I’m concerned. So much better than the Gannett paper apps.  It’s simple, very readable, and works great.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the positive review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know you’re enjoying the app.

### 5/5 — Useless App

*2022-03-09*

This is one if the most unstable applications I have attempted to use on my Iphone - and you have to pay for it….

### 5/5 — General News Coverage

*2019-03-16*
