PressReader: News & Magazines Positive Reviews

A fine newspaper reading tool that needs improvementThe pleasure of electronically reading the newspaper in the paper form laid out by the editors with zooming and links to articles cannot be understated. It works wonderfully with smartphones and computers with pads that permit control with finger movement. It’s the closest one can get to having the actual newspaper replicated in your computer. PressReader still needs to improve the dependability of links jumping to articles and sections of the paper. This function does not always work. It could also be improved with an efficient search tool for finding articles and subjects. One final note. There are no obvious instructions for setting up the app, and using all the available tools. This is a failure of communication all too common today..IlluminerVersion: 5.7.7

Not. That. Great.I am not impressed with this app at all. It just makes things that should be straightforward and easy unnecessarily difficult. I do a search on a new device for a periodical I have been receiving for years on an older one, and the search turns up nothing. I wish to de-authorize one device so that I can authorize another and I can’t do that without getting tech support from my organization (the website won’t let me sign in on my computer so I can do so myself. Instead it tells me that my email and/or password are “incorrect” - which they are not). Just a bunch of unnecessarily complicated nonsense! Also, the app has an icon badge which is not self-explanatory. I wish I knew what it signified. Is it the number of periodicals I am supposed to receive (because that does not seem accurate)? The number of issues available for download? (because that doesn’t seem accurate either). What?! I tried opening all my periodicals to see if that would get the icon to it would go away or change, but it didn't. So an explanation of its significance would be nice. With many publications piling up I would appreciate a feature that could instantly put them in chronological order, for finding issues more easily, but there doesn’t seem to be such a feature. Honestly, if I did not need to use this app out of necessity, I would have deleted it long ago..Sabor MísticoVersion: 5.3.8

Messing up a useful appsThe latest changes are abysmal. You can’t go back to main screen and browse or scroll through publications, anymore. You must select your publications when you reload the apps. As premium customer who considers this apps inconsequential but very useful you’ve messed up the platform. Developers should be fired after the latest November 2020 update! I’ve ended my subscription! Update: Worked with Developer to solve issue. Developer gave a version # indicating apps was supposedly fixed. Version update only works when the apps has been closed and phone is rebooted. This isn’t a fix it’s a work around. Perhaps company should invest in better Developers. Nice, you finally fixed the Apps, I am happy again!!!!.TxTimeFanVersion: 6.3.4

Latest update doesn’t workToday is Saturday April 18th. The new update downloaded last night. It opens to old, already deleted versions of the New York Times. The browse catalog wont load completely. It is impossible to load the New York Times digital edition. There is no way to contact the company through the app. Why in the world would you post a new version on a weekend, when you are in the worst position to fix bugs. PressReader, as a product, is solid when it works. Unfortunately, too often, bugs pop up, and there is no way to remedy the situation. I wish that the major publications would field their own replica apps or force better quality control over PressReader. Very sloppy and disappointing..Dr Howard SmithVersion: 5.7.2

NY TimesI have been a loyal NY Times reader for 4 decades. Living remotely, I am only able to get a subscription via PressReader. Sorry, but I feel that the system works better for PressReader Incorporated than for its subscribers. I have recently spent a full half day renewing my subscription as my credit card on file had expired. PressReader deleted my account at the stroke of midnight when my yearly subscription expired and I was online and on the phone for 5 hours to become recognized as a subscriber and become reinstated with my updated payment information. Was there an email updating me of the impending end of my subscription? Nope. Wake up PressReader you are a service industry and we are your clients! I have already noted my renewal date in 364 days in my 2020 calendar..RvhankVersion: 5.6.1

An amazing source of reading, but not only!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!.PixelwalkerVersion: 5.3.3

Worst update everThe app no longer works smoothly and i hate the black background with no way to find how to v Change it. Scrolling through the thumbnails and tapping on the page you want to read doesn’t work. The only way to get to that page if you scroll to the next page and then scroll back. Why did you change a good thing? Also the setting for automatic download doesn’t automatically stay on. What the heck? Having little control to customize the app is very frustrating. I used to love this app..ARSunhappyVersion: 6.1.1

FABULOUS TO HAVE NEWS ON IPADThis is the greatest app! I get to see my NY Newspaper while I live in Florida. I can see any paper from all over the world! It’s ready by 5:30am and I don’t have to go outside to my driveway to get the paper... wet or dry! I don’t have to deal with the newspaper print that I’m allergic to. And I don’t have to throw the paper away at the end of the day! Also, I can save papers on my iPad or iPhone and see my favorite stories or articles whenever I want. It’s just FABULOUS! And the price cannot be beat!!! Get this Press Reader app ASAP!!!.News SuzVersion: 5.3.6

Great reading, data hogI love reading newspapers in their original format on PressReader. I have a subscription to one paper and access to hundreds of papers through my local library, and both log-ins work seamlessly together. PressReader has improved to near-perfect status over the years but one flaw remains: despite my efforts to clear out old editions, the size of my data files grows until it chokes my iPad. Recently I had to once again delete and reinstall the app after it reached over 7GB of content. I don’t know what is causing this as I don’t see any stash of available newspapers in any archive. Otherwise, I’m very happy as a long-time user..MlaurenceVersion: 5.5

A wonderful resource in these crazy timesPressReader is a great app that I frequently forget about and then promptly return to, but also one that I really wish I could work into my daily and nightly routines. One major thing that keeps me from doing so is the lack of a dark mode. I’d like to take an hour to get away from the bright, loud, chaotic world and relax with my favourite magazine, ‘Deutsch perfekt’, before bedtime; however, there’s entirely nothing relaxing about having to read dark text on the glaringly white screen of my iPad. If the PressReader team could figure out how to invert text whilst keeping the design and images of the magazine or newspaper largely intact, that would be greatly appreciated!.RCart96Version: 5.7.7

Press ReaderI 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..A HerrmannVersion: 5.2.3

Good. It could be betterI read the N.Y. Times almost daily as I travel a lot. I actually like reading on PressReader better than the actual paper. The photos are better, and you can jump to continuation pages easily, and back, sometimes. Unfortunately with the Times at least, links are missing at times. That might be NYT’s fault? Navigating with the gizmo on the bottom of the screen is tedious. A drop down list would be better. Also missing is a “back” button. I wish I could just go back to the previous page I was on like in every other reading app I have used. Finally, it seems that if an update comes down to an issue or supplement while you are reading it, the app pops up an annoying sidebar and sometime takes you back to the top of the page or the first page...very annoying. They should just put up an icon to notify you. But overall I like it. I use a different one for the Vail Daily and I like this one better..Brian DoyleVersion: 5.5

Great, except for one bugPress Reader is a wonderful way to read the New York Times. In fact, I prefer it over the print edition. Being able to “jump” to the continuation of articles is much, much easier than leafing through paper pages. The only gripe I have is when a side panel pops up on the left side at random and unpredictable times, and I have no way to get rid of it besides closing the app and restarting. Grrrrr… Other than that, I love it..McGlentoshVersion: 6.3.5

Want to identify a bugIt’s a great app and very convenient to use. The only thing I need to identify is the auto download function does not properly work on iPad on few of the newspapers and magazines. I have experienced that the auto download reset itself when it’s time for next issue arrives and as such fail to work. The problem I experienced is with Washington post and Newsweek international. It works fine with other newspapers and magazines that I regularly download using the auto download function. Good luck.Luv me hate meeeVersion: 6.3.5

Love the app but BIG problems with this update!Big problems with this update! I love the app and have used it for years, but now (1) the drop-down menu that shows table of contents completely blacks out and freezes the screen! (2) From the main screen, the little “More” menu is blank (“...” at lower right corner of screen)! (3) From the page preview display, the little vertical ellipsis at the bottom of the screen also brings up a completely blank menu! Please help!.TRSpaffordVersion: 5.4.1

My newspaper doesn’t load...I have a premium subscription that is complimentary through my work. I use the app for The Denver Post. The paper is uploaded 2 to 3 times a week, so I’m missing the paper most days of the week. I would love to use and PAY several hundred dollars a year for this app if the paper would consistently load. As it is now I can see it would only be a frustration and a waste of money as it s now..Beechnut400Version: 5.7.6

Closest thing to reading the actual print edition of the New York TimesThere is something that I really like about the layout of an actual newspaper. Using Pressreader to download the print edition of the New York Times is the closest thing I found to actually reading the newspaper. The best thing is that I don’t have to go to the newsstand or open my front door to get the paper delivered; I can find it in the app first thing in the morning..AnnandaleMortVersion: 6.4.1

Downloads are lateI 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..Luv2sing21Version: 5.2.7

Love this appI use this app to read newspaper through my library account. For years it worked perfectly until about couple weeks ago. Now it asks me to pay for the subscription. The library account sign in seems not working any more. Hope this issue will be resolved soon. But I do want to say it has been a great service for me. Thank you..GmsTangVersion: 6.4.2

Great program, but needs Archiveability and HighlightsEverything about this program is great except for two things. 1) If you switch phones or tablet, you lose all your publications. This ignores a large portion of the users who intend to study and reference the material over time. 2) It does not allow the ability to highlight the material or take notes in those sections. The only notes section is for public commentary, which is a different purpose. If we pay for the publication, we should be able to keep it forever and highlight it and do what we need to do with it. Being in the digital world is nice because you can search many publications for keywords, but without the ability to archive what is the point?.MrotoVersion: 5.5

Almost there!Generally it’s a good app. My only problem is that there is the option to save pages to your collections, yet there is absolutely no way to actually access them?? I’m guessing this is a glitch or something. Would definitely be 5 stars if this was fixed. For anyone else that needs this feature, the workaround that I’ve been doing is taking screenshots then cropping out the top and bottom so it shows just that page..JjokocVersion: 5.2

Mostly good but sometimes skips issuesThe interface and image quality are great, as is the selection of different publications from around the world. However, I have noticed that sometimes issues just get “skipped”. For example, with my New York Times Home Delivery subscription, and also The Week magazine is another example where I have noticed this..Ajwagner86Version: 5.7.1

Love Press ReaderThank you for fixing Press Reader battery drain issue on iPad Mini. Use to run down the battery in about 3 hours of Press Reader use. Now it drains at a normal rate. Actually just about every bug has been resolved. Now the latest revision is almost perfect. Please leave it as is. The old saying If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it would apply..JackStraw777Version: 6.4

A must have for the TravelerThis app is a must-have for anybody that travels the off-line mode is fantastic cover to cover on reading magazines & your favorite newspapers couldn’t live without it. Only downside is the automatic subscription and download is limited if you want additional titles you have to download them by hand on a daily basis..Cjt757Version: 6.4

Press ReaderPress 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. Louise Orkin.YtrewqFdsaVersion: 5.3.1

I love this AppWhen I first subscribed to nyp wasnt sure why I was using PressReader but then I tried reading other magazines and I realized nyp was partnered with them to e-read to me and I was shocked but just a long time ago I have started my seven day trial signed up and monitor I will budget the PressReader service when I need it. 100 💯 percent recommend.Almanzaf13Version: 6.4.10

Works great but no family sharing.Just like the iPad and iPhone apps, this just works. I've been a pay-as-you-go and Hotspot Hog for at least five years. Finally tried the all-you-can-eat trial and I'm hooked. I just wish they supported family users with seperate profiles so my wife and I can share and still be under the five device limit..HawaiiDonVersion: 6.8.2

New version is totally hosed - fixedPrior version had flaws but basically worked. New version just shows blank screens, no search results and signon is broken. Get better programmers and do much better testing. Avoid this release at all costs. Update: rapid response from developer. Apparently app failed but websites were working. No further explanation but at least it works fine now..Bad_programmerVersion: 5.7.2

Good Reader, Annoying PopupIt’s a nice reader for publications. But when I try to screen mirror from my iPhone or iPad to Apple TV for better readability, the app thinks I’m taking a screenshot and keeps popping up an alert. Some publications don’t even display when screen mirroring. Please fix this annoying bug..Jayem01Version: 6.4.1

Slow response, hard to understand interfaceThe newspaper is a good replica of the real thing. But how do you get that image.- hard to figure out. Too many clicks to get to today’s paper. Needs to be made more intuitive and to go right to the front page of your preferred publication when you open the app. The Phila Inquirer replica edition does just that,.AlterKakerVersion: 5.7.1

So far, so good!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..Paddling BearVersion: 5.2.2

My Favorite AppI 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, as there are no worries about suspending delivery, and you can read it on your iPad when you are in Cancun with Ted Cruz..DrstmVersion: 6.3.1

Fifty-fiftyI love this app, but wish it were more stable. I spend as much time deleting/reinstalling and troubleshooting as I do actually reading. For what it’s worth, this wonderful product always works on my Mac desktop, but it’s extremely problematic on my iPhone and iPad..Chalam711Version: 6.4.2

Near-perfectI love this app. As a journalism professor, I know that the best way to follow news is by reading an actual newspaper cover to cover (as opposed to a web site or social media). Two minor suggestions for improvement: 1. Convince more publications to participate. For instance, there’s not a single Vermont newspaper available. 2. In the download section, please provide the dates of the publications. Thanks for this app. And especially a huge thanks to participating publications. It is such an important resource. Update: the issue date is NOT listed below the name of publication at the bottom of thumbnail on Downloaded tab. That was my point. I’m happy to send a screen shot.`.AppWontOpenVersion: 6.3.6

Buggy App, 100% Unusable, Great ServiceApp often doesn’t work, great when it does. Other times it just keeps endless less scrolling itself page to page as slide overs. Used to work. Doesn’t anymore, and hasn’t in many months. I would be willing to submit logs. Not sure how to enable them for the app though. Issue is easily reproducible..TransRapidVersion: 6.3.1

Overall a great program.I love being able to read newspapers in the true format It works extremely well on my iPad but not as perfectly on my PC. I have the downloaded NY Times that will tend to freeze while reading and then turning the pages. I will then have to reopen the app and find the page where I was last reading.UES ReaderVersion: 5.7.1

Press reader app is excellentI'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..DanceTooVersion: 5.2.5

V6.2 is great improvement Thank YouThanks for addressing issues with the 6.2 update. Much improved reading experience. Your app is great! Addressing some of the annoying little quirks with this update makes it that much better. Keep up the good work. I primarily use an iPad mini with your app.Berb3Version: 6.2

Enjoy the NYTimesBest service for replica Times. We live too remote for home delivery. This is the next best thing to spreading the Times out the kitchen table with a cup of coffee. If a glitch occurs, customer service is quick to a fix. In all a valuable and excellent service..Obstruction IslanderVersion: 6.4.10

Useful but frustratingly buggyI use Pressreader on my iPad solely to read the digital replica of the NYT. The app frequently crashes, frequently mis-displays pages and frequently gets stuck in a funk and needs to be returned home and then re-navigate to your page to display and function properly. The NYT disallows selection and dictionary lookup - but that is not Pressreaders fault. Would also like it to zoom in farther. I am not a fan..Jeff.RowleyVersion: 5.4.3

Doesn't work wellI read the New York Times on this app. However, there are blue highlights on the headlines which are supposed to bring the article into a column for reading like a book. Today they don't bring in text. And other days they are not even there. Can't compete with the Washington Post Working better.HrosenharryVersion: 6.1.1

OKI’m a new user. This app gave me access to the article I wanted to read. However, I found it very odd that I had to read it it like I was looking at a picture of the actual printed newspapers page. So, I cannot just search for a keyword, only for magazines, and then I have to know which date my article was published next issue is not all papers are included. and there isn’t a way to suggest new magazines as dar as I can see. I’m still an “unregistered” user even though I’m a subscriber and nowhere does it say the benefit of registration so looking for scientific magazines (I had Quanta Magazine in mind describing quantum phenomena to the public) or medical journals (Like Journal of Alzheimer’s disease) will not be fruitful.Fr1endz4evrVersion: 5.4.3

Cannot get current editionFor quite a while i could get yesterday edition, or todays, depending where I clicked. Now I can only get editions 3 days old. This is for the San Jose Mercury news. So now I switched to another newspaper of another city and get current edition..Edw725Version: 5.7.4

NYT issueWhy I need to use PressReader is a mystery to me. I use it to read the New York Times print edition. It works just fine but I think the New York Times should give me the ability to read their paper without a separate subscription to PressReader. Press reader doesn’t count as an NYT subscription so links from other news sources to a NYT article will not work.JSonlinereaderVersion: 6.3.6

Do not like recent updateI’ve been using PressReader for a few years now, and in general I love it. The most recent update is irritating me though, as it is now limiting the number of screenshots that I can take in a magazine or newspaper. I get that some people may be abusing this, and I understand the warning, however there is an assumption that anyone taking screenshots is abusing the magazine, when I am doing it for my own personal use. For example, I recently decided to try cross stitching as something new to do during the pandemic. I downloaded a cross stitch magazine, chose a pattern to try, then took screenshots of the design so that I could send it to my computer to print (I cannot print directly from the iPad). I got the pattern, but I can’t get the instructions! The iPad screen is too small for me to work from, not to mention that the screen keeps blacking out, so I guess I will not be doing the cross stitch. I have also used screenshots to print recipes so that I can cook them, and even to take screen shots of book recommendations or ads of things that I want to purchase. I do understand that some people abuse these things, but don’t treat us all as abusers. Besides, I am sure that the true abusers will find a way around this soon enough, so only the legitimate users will be inconvenienced. If I bought a paper copy of the magazine I could copy it and distribute it, tear pages out to keep, etc. I will have to seriously rethink using pressreader if this continues. Thank you for the response. Can I suggest an alternative of adding a unique hidden digital identifier to the screenshot that lets you know which account it came from? That way legitimate users are not inconvenienced, but you will actually be able to track down abusers if they distribute their screenshots. Meanwhile, I read my favourite cooking magazine last night, and I have seven recipes I want to try but can only print 3 of them....Love the app please fixVersion: 5.7.4

Version 5.4.1Version 5.4.1 Full Screen off is now back again but still problems. The developers of PressReader have never given much consideration to accessibility for VoiceOver users. Now in the latest version, 5.4.1, they have reinstated the ability to turn Full Screen off again giving VoiceOver users the ability to access the menus. However, Now on the iPhone there is no way of starting the Listen feature from the open newspaper. Also on the iPhone, , the highlight on the Table of Contents, accessed from the top menu bar, is not visible to people with low vision on the new dark interface. The ''Listen'' feature makes PressReader an ideal choice for people with low vision or who are blind to be able to listen to the newspaper of their choice. Why don’t the developers of pressreader spend more time on making their app more accessible? For example, for VoiceOver users, if the Listen feature is accessed from the downloaded newspaper list one has to press the AM Radio button! Getting the VoiceOver labels correct might be a good start to improving accessibility..BobycatsVersion: 5.4.1

PressReader: News & Magazines Negative Reviews

IOS app works inconsistentlyMy library system has a subscription to Press Reader. To sign in with your library card the Press Reader video says all you need is the library system name, your card number and your PIN. This is supposedly how the web version works but the iPad app wants you to also create an account. You can’t bypass this. However sometimes the app seems to think you’re on a library hotspot (I’m not) and lets you get on anyway. The next day it forgets and wants to charge you through iTunes. But, if you wait a couple of hours it thinks you’re on a library hotspot again. I don’t know who designs and writes this software but they sure don’t test it..GgmpdVersion: 5.3.8

IPad mini is not an iPad to PressReaderAs the owner of an iPad Air and an iPad Mini 4 I can swear to the fact that literally hundreds of APPs are the same for both devices. Not PressReader. It does not allow expansion by pressing the screen out. Enlarging the print on the pages of The NY Times Replica works fine on the iPad Air. But the PressReader on the iPad Mini does not enlarge. Particularly enraging as the mini is smaller and really NEEDS the enlarging ability. Have sent repeated complaints...always handled by a different person. Sent screen shots to show the problem and someone had the Gaul to ask me to make a movie but their APP blocks movie making of the screen. Totally irritating help/really no help..Jobo2@Version: 6.1.1

Buggy and UnreliableIn the last month, it has become unusable. Downloaded issues disappear and have to be downloaded again. Cannot be used when offline. Formerly, you could download an issue to be read when in an airplane or elsewhere without WiFi. Now, an issue previously downloaded might be gone and unavailable until one has internet access and can download again. I contacted the developers. They have done nothing (for weeks) to fix it. Do not subscribe. You won’t have reliable access to any publications you might purchase..NuYawkahVersion: 7.0.3

Does not recognize a hotspot with licensed contentI just spent 45 minutes trying to get the software to give free access to content, based on being in an airline lounge that specifically allows it. I three times made sure it’s the correct hotspot, reinstalled the software a second and third time, checked all network settings with another phone that did give access, disabled cellular access, did a cold iphone restart. Bottom line - no luck. What a waste of time..Hard copy is more reliableVersion: 6.5.3

Piece of junkLoaded this free app per instructions at the Air Canada lounge since they don’t have any magazines anymore. Nothing but glitches and frozen screens. Only 1 or 2 of the dozen magazines I downloaded will open up and the whole app freezes about every 4-5times I try to use it. I deleted the app and all data on my iPad 3 times but still the same glitches. Says I’m on a free trial but maybe you have to pay to get the mags to open?

Doesn’t let me log inVery glitchy and doesn’t let me login through my library as it should. Waste of time.Nicki LagatVersion: 7.1.1

Library login not working anymoreWhen I try to login after choosing the library option, the sign in button doesn't respond. I am choosing Toronto public library but after that the login button didn't work. Please help as this option used to work earlier.RajatkhVersion: 7.1

Impossible to log in via libraryI used to love the app but lately it has been near impossible to log in via the library. After logging in in the web browser, it was usually logged in in the app as well, but lately the app won’t connect to the library anymore..SporvognsskinneskidtskraberVersion: 7.1

Great Idea: Poor ProductWhile such an app is a great idea, this app constantly fails to perform adequately. It fails to load properly, freezes or quits working several times each month and sometimes several times a week. My suggestion would be that the app developers hire some high school kid to fix how this works..EevaughnVersion: 6.7.2

CrashThe app keeps crashing when you read “journal de Montreal”. It’s been 2 weeks now. Can you fix it..Dan#22Version: 6.7

SlowApp is very glitchy lately- extremely slow to load issues that are already downloaded.LCR3Version: 6.7

Agree with heating issueMy iPad also heats up a lot when using this app. Worries me. Also, always updating, causing login issues every time. Super annoying. Would also be nice to have an option to stack different editions of same magazines rather than display them all. Other than those things it’s a great app. Also requires very frequent logging in. Even with the save my password feature on..PineApple's_AnnonymousVersion: 6.4.11

Note of CautionExercise caution before signing up for this service!! The service has worked fine for me in terms of accessing and reading materials but it seems impossible to cancel a subscription if you decide to do that. I would like to cancel my subscription haven’t been able to find any way to do that. Each month in my account activity, it shows that the subscription “expires” on the monthly anniversary of my initial sign up; however, instead of expiring it auto renews!.Handmades_by_robertalynneVersion: 6.4.10

Subscription disappearedVery annoying. Then they requested I contact them but so far have heard nothing.In cloverVersion: 6.4.2

ProblemsI am a subscriber for more than a year. I had to deal with many glitches. Esp. Regarding my aditional membership to New York Times. I am not very happy. The customer service is very weak!.Kerim UVersion: 6.4.2

Moved from Press ReaderSubscribed for many years. Started to get messages about taking screenshots in the newspapers I subscribed to, which I wasn’t doing. Reported to support and they told me to not take screen shots, which didn’t address my problem. Have also had ongoing issues with side bars that show up and reduce the reading space. Reported in the past and nothing done to address. Maybe app is getting long in the tooth as not much has changed over past 10 years. Have decided to move to Apple News+, which is less expensive when bundled with other Apple services. Still support newspapers I read but in a different format..Sentient IIVersion: 6.4.2

Constant problems with auto downloadingFor the past week and at other times, both of us are having problems with the auto download not working. Must go in and manually download even when we have the auto button selected. Most frustrating as it’s a constant problem. A wonderful Customer service rep contacted me and all the issues were resolved.Jean. Calgary AlbertaVersion: 6.4.1
