Pressreader App Reviews

The latest update seems to have caused errors in attempting to access my linked NY Times account. Publications won’t even load...please fix, thanks!

How can I print the crossword only; not the surrounding articles on that page?

The one thing that is missing is that despite hd Siri voice in set as the main narrating voice and works perfect with any text in any app, this app is somehow using inferior voice which you really don’t want to listen to.

My access to all possible world press became instant, my opinions became influential, my channel is growing and developing super fast. Three great features I’ve never seen before but always dreamed of: real time Translation (you don’t need 3rd party anymore) - very convenient - just imagine you can read any language! (Italian Vogue is not longer Italian) Then you don’t even have to read, Voice Reader can do it aloud. And finally the Boomarks! (I still have those thousands of heavy folders I used put teared magazine pages in from my student years). The app delivers the fresh issues of all I read right to my account. I’m shocked! I’m in future!

Many times while listening certain words are missed pronounced that should be regularly pronounced like Lives and lives and nammyohorengekyo

Customer service not helpful at all when app crashes or won’t download. No phone number for contacting them. Still buggy after all these years.

I love this app!!!

Amazing content and easy reading. I love the format and ease of this app! ❤️

That equivalent of clipping newspaper articles is disabled for The NY Times (replica of the paper). Boo, not fully replacing the wood pulp newspaper yet.

Deleting an issue does not delete it from the IPad. It takes more and more memory and becomes more and more unstable. You have to delete the entire app, re download, and re log in, about weekly. Not worth it.

Sadly it is not Good anymore

Press Reader is an excellent substitute for the printed paper. I love that it is identical to the print edition. Because of that I KNOW that I’m not missing anything. It is as easy to navigate as the printed paper and maybe better because one can enlarge the print. I wish one could email an article from it but you can’t. If one could it would be perfect.

Can use on my iPhone and desktop. Love the combo of mags and newspapers. Overall it’s cheaper as I read both daily than Texture + News subscriptions. Great product - keep windows app and IOS going please !

The N Y Times does not recognize PressReader subscriptions to the paper as legit and, yet, the Times offers no replica alternative on its subscriber site. Shame on you.

Thank you for this app!

I’ve read the paper on this app for years with no problems. Now, every time I try to open the New York Times (for the past several days), the app crashes. Please do something about this. Perhaps it is time for an update.

App no longer functions on iPad Pro 12.9. Crashes constantly. New West software for iOS and the app. Unlimited/ny subscriber. Won’t even open.

This was working fine until a couple of weeks ago, now when I try and read a newspaper the app opens and then almost immediately crashes, making it unusable

This app is pretty good from what I’ve seen I haven’t had a chance to use a lot but I will update my review as I go.

Recommend this Ap. Looks & Reads like a real newsprint paper copy newspaper.

This is a terrific app when it is working. If the app has to be re-downloaded or there is any other issue, there is absolutely no meaningful customer service available to the end-user. They insist on communicating via emails which do not solve the problems. For companies as large as the New York Times and the Washington Post and other major newspapers, there should be some way of providing interactive customer service in order to get this app running. Their webpage that is designed to authorize devices, does not work!

This needs an immediate fix

I use the app every day. Today it start crashing. Please fix it soon!!!

Since this app was updated on my iPad Pro on March 17th, I have been unable to run it successfully. The app initially runs but crashes within seconds.

I love having the paper at my fingertips when I wake up. But sometimes the downloads are late, as is the delivery of my paper copy, and then I have NO paper at all. Otherwise, I think PressReader is great. September 13, 2017 Got my NY Times on my iPhone today but it will not download on my iPad. February 25, 2018 Still getting downloads late. Also, not able to access any saved articles. March 20, Still not seeing saved articles in My Collections.

This thing has been buggy for years. Upgraded to current version (3/16/18) and the program no longer loads at all! Ugh!

Version 5.2.7. Open it up and it closes before you can do anything.

SO difficult to get The NY Times to consistently come up. Tried email and chat customer service to no avail. There is literally no phone customer service. Message just sends you to email address. Sincerely wish I could give zero stars. That is what this app deserves.

I've been using the app for about three or four years. It's very easy to download the paper and once downloaded, it is very easy to navigate through the options. I recommend it to anyone who wants to read a lot on the go.

This app deserves any crashworthy awards available. It is uncanny how they can engineer so many crashes.

Had problem with NY Times this morning. OK this evening.

I have used this app for years, and now they have improved it so much that I can’t read a single page. Infuriating.

Consistently crashes after newspaper loads. One can see a blurry page and then the crash.

I read the New York Times every morning on Press Reader and really enjoy the look of the actual newspaper without having to recycle the physical paper. It is great for traveling, too.

I have version 5.2.6 and PR regularly quits when I click on a blue headline. I'm going back to reading the print edition. At least it’s stable.

This app promises so much, but as soon as you start using it, it freezes, then crashes, can’t open the articles. Such a waste of time. Stick to the newspaper websites....!

Ok app but content is weak. Not worth the trouble. Those that are free are already available directly from the actual paper’s site. Paid ones are better to access directly.

I have to revise my previous review because the latest version is not stable. The blue hyperlink to enlarge an article only works on select articles and crashes the program on others. Repeated requests to customer service have not solved the total problem. They now seem to have fixed the front page of the NY Times but not inner pages like the Opinion page. PLEASE FIX! Finally fixed! Now works well on my iPad Pro 10.5 inch screen. I would like to add my frustration to the other NY Times reader reviews. The Press Reader column on the left cuts off NY Times columns and requires ridiculous slide and hold maneuvers to read the paper. I don't understand why the reading experience got worse with this update. Please fix. Press Reader has a problem with the new iPad Pro 10.5 inch screen. It provides partial columns which require sliding and holding to read some columns. This was reported weeks ago and still not fixed.

It’s a great idea to be able to get all your papers in one place. While the idea is a 10 the company is a zero. Very frequently there is a problem on their end so the papers won’t download. I’m sure it’s fixed by mid morning but by then it’s too late. I read my papers before work, not during. Most days my papers are blurred so I have to strain my eyes to read it. Enlarging the font only makes it harder to read. Other days some of my papers aren’t there. Contacting lack of customer service is a complete waste of time. There are plenty of other bugs that appear. I’ve seen others address the bugs so I wonder, why doesn’t anyone fix it? I cancelled and I now buy my papers directly and I have no problem. Bye bye Pressreader. Contact me when you’re serious about running an app and you hire people with brains to run it.

Muy practica y útil para el comunicador

Excellent view

At the risk of jinxing this app, PressReader seems to have hit a nice plateau...works well on current and not so current hardware running up to date iOS. I personally have no complaints and wonder which iPad and what iOS the folks are running who are upset. Backwards compatibility is hard to guarantee in a rapidly changing competitive electronics era.

The most recent update makes it almost impossible to turn pages by swiping. Pages just don't turn. Please correct ASAP!

No back arrow, stuck in just trying to join, not working to find the NYT though the NYT says to use the app for the print edition. I’m throwing it away.

Overall a good app, and it’s easy to use. Only frustration is that the login for my local library frequently does not work and I have to log out and log back in to download newspapers. Hopefully it’s a bug that will be fixed in a future update

It works on Apple iPad very well but not well on Microsoft surface pro 4 . I have tried to interact with tech support without success. They refuse a phone call and seem not to care. I should make clear that I use it only for the N Y Times.
