### 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.

### 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 — Print is so small you can't read it and no way to make it bigger.

*2017-05-26*

Old version worked great, the update print is so small you can't read what the story is even about.
Start over.  No response regarding too small print.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-05-23, version 4.22.230026769*

You took a good app and ruined it! The print is microscopic and no longer has news by city / area. Please return the PE app to its former glory!

### 1/5 — Go back to old style

*2017-05-20, version 4.22.230026769*

This is my first app review. I use PE app exclusively for my news. I'm disappointed they have eliminated local New for my area Corona and I don't like the sports page either. I'm interested in local HS sports it's just very informative unless you live in Riverside, SB, MOVAL.

### 1/5 — From bad to really bad

*2017-05-07, version 4.22.230026769*

The new app is atrocious and the news articles are horrendous.

### 1/5 — New version is slow to post

*2017-05-06*

Either the app is slow to report or PE is always behind the rest of the news apps. Ever since the new release, latest news is 18+ hours old. Refreshed it, reinstalled and no change.. time to get news from another source

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2017-05-06, version 4.22.230026769*

The previous edition was far superior. The new addition is very poorly organized.

### 1/5 — Who thought of this!

*2017-04-26, version 4.22.230026769*

Horrible new app! Why change something that's not broken.  Old app was perfect so now I will have to remove is app.

### 1/5 — New version

*2017-04-25*

I liked the old version much better than this new one. Before, very succinctly you could find out breaking news. Now, good luck!
I don't mind change if it's an improvement, but this new version certainly does not improve the PE app!!

### 1/5 — Old app is better

*2017-04-23*

The lack of choice to choose a specific city makes this app almost worthless. I can get local news but nothing on other cities. Time to go back to the drawing board.

### 2/5 — Print is too small

*2017-04-21, version 4.22.230026769*

Great content, like the new design, but it would be nice if the print was larger.  Souls be larger for the older folks.

### 1/5 — How do you refresh the site???????

*2017-04-17, version 4.22.230026769*

The previous app was far better

### 1/5 — Using new app on 4.11.17

*2017-04-15, version 4.22.230026769*

Ok they finally added the traffic to the new app.....BUT the new traffic app is not even close to the original traffic app...PE haven't you learned anything yet....IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT.....Stupid freakin morons $&"!?@&$

### 2/5 — Need more coverage.

*2017-04-14, version 4.22.230026769*

The outlying ares need better coverage.
Very hard to navigate. Cumbersome.

### 1/5 — Hoping for a quick update

*2017-04-12*

What happened to the ability to swipe to the next article? Where are all the different opinion sections?

### 2/5 — Where's Corona?

*2017-04-12, version 4.22.230026769*

Easier to find cities in old app

### 1/5 — WHEN ITS NOT BROKEN WHY FIX IT?

*2017-04-11*

We all loved the old app so why spend the big bucks to create this piece of junk? Did a friend need money or an excuse to raise subscription fees???? Nothing but complaining is why I hear from myself and others!!! Get the hint and change it back......😡😡😡😡

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Half the time the news is a week old

*2017-10-07, version 4.22.230026769*

Just poor development. Not all dependable.

### 1/5 — No Search button

*2017-08-11*

About 75% of the time I cannot find the newspaper article. Can a search button be designed for the app?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Bad design

*2017-06-14*

I'm editing my old review.   Glad to see the app improved  and is much better.   It is now fantastic.   Thanks.  I use it daily. 

Why'd you fix the app if it wasn't broken?  It was great seeing having all the cities and counties broken down in sections.   Now the app is just blah and I have no reason to use it.

### 5/5 — Much better

*2017-06-06*

I liked it before but this is much better. Like how you keep the news longer before it would be removed within a day sometimes hour. The best place to get your local news. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Klm

*2017-04-07*

Great app for local news in Riverside

### 5/5 — Very nice App!

*2017-04-05*

I like to check local news often and this is my go-to app for the Inland Empire/Riverside. I do wish there was a comments section for each story.

### 5/5 — Press Enterprise

*2017-04-02*

First site I visit every day. Very well done.  Would like for it to include Op-Eds.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2016-10-12, version 4.19.370021123*

Fast and easy app for local news

### 5/5 — Good source for news

*2016-10-01, version 4.19.370021123*

I start with the PE app to get the general goings on of Riverside. It's an easy app, great navigation.

### 5/5 — Press Enterprise

*2015-03-06, version 4.13.0*

Great app with up to date news of what's happening in the I.E. and your local city not to mention the updates on traffic are terrific and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Stay in touch

*2014-08-28, version 4.10.0*

App works great, loads quickly, and is updated often.  Easy to stay up to date with the latest news.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2014-04-16, version 4.9.5*

Good coverage for Riverside & San Bernardino Counties. I wish you could get more coverage on local events without having to check everyday.  I check every few days and can miss some stuff.
