User Reviews

The Patriot-News app is praised for easy navigation, robust local sports coverage, and a convenient mobile digital edition, but users frequently report reliability issues: slow performance, crashes, missing/misformatted content, wrong edition delivery, and trouble with subscriptions and support. Readability concerns on small screens are also noted.
Pros
  • Easy to navigate and customizable, making it user-friendly for older readers.
  • Strong local sports coverage and broad sections (Nation & World, Life).
  • Digital edition is accessible on mobile devices, enabling convenient online reading.
  • Positive format and layout, with praise for content such as Ravens coverage.
Cons
  • App is slow and sluggish; loading is unreliable and crashes can occur.
  • Online edition often has missing text or misformatted pages and isn6#39;t properly sized on devices.
  • Subscription and login issues prevent access; prompts to subscribe despite already having one; purchases not recognized.
  • Content delivery sometimes shows the wrong edition (e.g., Omaha edition) or no feed.
  • Difficulty contacting customer service; support lines and circulation contacts are hard to reach.

The online version of the article that I just read has missing parts of sentences and paragraphs that make parts of the article nonsensical. I had to refer back to the print article to figure out what the article was supposed to be saying.

I can get my paper on my tablet but not on my laptop. It will not accept my password. A week ago something happened and I had to call the help line. I had to call two separate times to get problem resolved It would be nice to deal with somebody in this country that speaks English. About to cancel my subscription of 40 years. Don’t need the hassle

1. Love reading the paper on line, although I am old school and love the feel and smell of the paper and print. We do receive the Thursday and Sunday print edition….love, love!!! 2. The cartoons are larger in size and there are fewer comics in total (the Sunday Edition). I miss the inclusion of three cartoons per strip ( Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Guess I will need to catch up on some of my favorites throughout the week. 3. The overall content of your paper slants towards the LEFT to a great extent. Would appreciate more of an impartial view of the world in your political articles. You are no different than any metropolitan newspaper or national news source (radio and television). Kindly toss a bone my way and include something nice about a republican endeavor at least once in awhile. 4. Your coverage of local, high school sports is outstanding, Informative and interesting. You cover large and small high schools and give every sport appropriate reporting. I taught English at McDevitt for 38 years and when the leaves Fall, everyone hates us, but you provide plenty of excellent, praise-worthy pigskin reports nonetheless. 5. My favorite sections are Nation & World and Life. As a more mature lady, I read the front page of the paper first and then the obits, just to make certain my family and friends and past students and their families are still with us. All my favorite interests in life: books, movies, series, gardening and travel are contained in the Life section. I have been reading your paper for approximately fifty years when Hurricane Agnes decimated our dear city. I even remember when the ink you used made almost our entire family itch with some kind of allergic reaction. We scratched and read all together now! A Newsy Fan, Carole Scott Bush Retired Teacher
