### 1/5 — Lousy

*2022-08-02*

The revised app is worthless. The original app was much easier to use and read. Lease bring it back.

### 1/5 — Customer gets the shaft on iOS

*2021-05-20*

Unless you agree to being tracked on iOS, you can’t log in to get the e newspaper that you are paying for!!

Looks like time to cancel my subscription.

### 1/5 — Article blocking—Information sharing.

*2021-05-07*

I already have a free subscription.  As of today I can no longer read articles as a pop-up appears asking me to agreed to share my information to continue subscription. I want to know what this means exactly. We already get enough solicitation on our phones and do not want my information shared. This is inappropriate and another poor move by our once beloved Press Enterprise.

### 1/5 — Hard to Navigate, Loads Slow

*2020-04-17, version 4.22.230026769*

Basically, not a user friendly app.

### 2/5 — Where are crosswords and other puzzles? “Sections” tab does not index them. Should

*2020-03-24, version 4.22.230026769*

That says it all.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-12-12, version 4.22.230026769*

Terrible. No search feature.  Impossible to find what you’re looking for.

### 1/5 — Slow loading up

*2019-10-12*

This new version is slow to load up.  Or it doesn’t even load.

### 1/5 — No fishing report

*2019-10-10, version 4.22.230026769*

A fishing report would would be nice

### 2/5 — Lacks information

*2018-03-02*

Why is there no traffic information? Other news apps have local traffic information which helps immensely for the daily commute. The PE has nothing! Also, it’s hit & miss on local news. We have a lot of new construction going on in Corona but there is nothing in the local news about it. Other news apps have video and commentary on their stories. The PE has nothing. The only reason I look at this app just to see if there is anything interesting going on Corona, other than that the app is worthless.

### 1/5 — The old one was better

*2017-10-09*

While I like the more national news, it sure seems to have taken away from the local news. They rarely update the news.

Transition app

### 4.19.370021123 — 2016-08-29

Another awesome update is here. We listened to users and their wants. We surveyed over 1000 of you users to get feedback on improvements. You indicated preference for brighter background and larger text. Check! We delivered. A refreshed look for you to see things in both low and dark light.

We added a new live tile which provides you with notifications that are not quite “push notification worthy” but important enough that when you open the app it tells you what is important.

We made our push notification rich in style with a more prevalent location.

We added support for HLS HTTP Live Streaming. What this means is more support for you to view live video!

We also did some weather enhancements with multiple weather layers in the radar section. 

We squashed some bugs too!

### 4.19.210019215 — 2016-06-21

Awesome home page refresh. Bigger, brighter, better. Let us know what you think by leaving feedback through the app!

### 4.17.680016866 — 2016-03-02

This update rocks! We've added custom weather alerts and multi-location weather support. This is something you will love! Here are the highlights: Add multiple locations to track weather. Long hold on the weather widget and change locations. Enable receiving weather notifications per location. Quick access to weather locations right from the weather widget. Weather alerts automatically go away from the notifications queue once they expire from the National Weather Service. Alerts get updated every minute! We've also added support for the bigger screens of the iPhone 6, 6+ and iPad Pro. While we were under the hood, we squashed a few bugs and made some performance improvements. If you run into any problems, email us at help@doapps.com and we will be happy to look into any issue for you.

### 4.14.8 — 2015-08-27

We now allow any size submission in user submitted stories. 
The push alert on the front page will now always display the correct title. 
Fixing video playback for iPad.
