User Reviews

Users appreciate PressConnects as a well-organized, readable app with multiple access options including the online print edition and support for those who prefer a paper-like experience, and it delivers informative local journalism. However, many reviews report recurring problems: heavy advertising; outdated or delayed content (including obituaries) and unreliable current editions; frequent crashes and updates that break functionality; password and subscription management frustrations; and navigation/usability hurdles. Overall sentiment is mixed to negative, with praise for presentation and reach offset by reliability, accessibility, and update-quality concerns that threaten regular use.

Pros

Well-organized and intuitive interface, easy to read on mobile.
Offers multiple access options, including the online print edition and a paper-like reading experience.
Informative content with strong local journalism.
Content is accessible in preferred formats across devices.
Some readers report years of generally smooth use.

Cons

Too many ads and clutter, making it feel like a generic online news site.
Content often not current; obituaries and editions can be delayed.
Crashes or won’t open on multiple devices/OS versions; reliability issues with current edition.
Password management and subscription cancellation are frustrating and opaque.
Usability issues: hard to navigate and missing features (comics, advice column, games).

Unfortunately my local paper does not deliver on Saturdays. This forces me to read the paper on this obnoxious app. Two months ago the app did an update to “fix bugs”. I guess my tablet is a bug because the app doesn’t work anymore.

So many ads! Doesn’t even seem like a newspaper, just a rolling dump of articles - many very old. Tried searching for features I used to enjoy like the comics and they were nowhere to be found. Ditto advice column and games. Total waste of time as it’s just like so many other on-line news sources I already read.
