PressReader for Android
The last update introduced a weird bug: when a page is zoomed, parts of the screen will randomly become black. Only way to continue reading is to force a page reload by switching from landscape to portrait or vice-versa. Very annoying! The app also crashes regularly, but at least not as often as some previous versions used to.
Finally some significant improvement!. Still occasionally crashes on startup but not during use...yet. However, often don't see chapter/section headings ie. just page numbers and often can't use listening function.
I also have the bug where the screen goes black and I have to leave the app to fix it. This is very annoying. Please fix.
New problems with choppy scrolling when zoomed in full page mode. Also, hung when trying to switch to two page mode. Sometimes slow to render fonts.
Good display even when enlarged. Drains battery more than any other app used. Read a newspaper then recharge, needs sorting out.
Very good except please stop moving newspaper pages around to some border. Leave the page where I put it.
Straight forward app, could do with a wider selection of magazines but if you are into the news it has some great features. Enjoy reading the paper with a coffee and i have found this app to be perfect for that
Overall a good performing app, room for some improvements but a more user friendly UI to explain changes will help.
Very nice app to read my newspaper even on my 5.5 " screen smartphone! Clear images and piece of mind.
Love this app, can look at newspapers and magazines, no trouble, drains battery fast the only negative.
Keeps frrezing within 5 minutes of opening, then says "processing" forever
No login for library users. Browser is the only option ?
We use this app to keep up with SGI-USA publications while on the go. I love it!
I highley Reccomend this App to any body
Free in some places, some not
It's perfect app and useful
Me parece muy util.
Super
The new look going into 2017 is bad. Icons and text too small to see, 2 times more touches required to fast page scroll. The old interface wasn't good but they still figured out a way to make it worse. The old interface allowed a single touch to show fast page scroll.
Works.. but very frustrating, especially new version received around Dec. 2016. I often can not pan to read the right column of newspaper. The newspaper drifts back on its own to center. Very annoying. After several tries it jumps to next page. Latest Android Samsung tablet.
Even on an 8.4 inch tablet, the interface and navigation needs a lot of work. Rather than using tabs, author elect to use sliding columns which overlap. Each column takes 1/3 of screen, leaving limited real estate for final area of interest.
In library, my browser and people on old app get free access but not me on phone or tablet. It just offers payment options. I would love to have the app work as I really value the service. Thanks
Who decided to change the background colour to white?? It's hard to read now! White papers against white background!?? Bad on the eyes! I want the black background back. I should choose not you! Quite pissed off. I'm editing this to 1 star because I hate it! Why did you change it and make it bad? I used to be able to preview pages to find what I want but that feature is gone!Now I have to continously scroll. If I go too fast it stops.bloody horrible.its ruined my reading experience.
Nice application at first although with some small caveats, for example no proper crash report most of the time or some tricks when moving from vertical to horizontal reading but no big deal, and a truly gigantic one: I lost all my past issues since 01/01/2017!!! Dozens of issues are gone forever without any chance to get them back. Therefore, I definitely cannot recommend.
Having Press Reader has allowed me to access multiple international newspapers and read them any where I am without having to buy them (I use the Press Reader hotspot). The only problem I have is that it is only has a six day limit to download without a hotspot...wish it was longer...
I normally come to my local library to read foreign Magazines. The app used to work great, and it was ok on the slow-ish computers they have. Now, some idiot on their staff decided it was time to upgrade for something new, cluttered, slow as hell, and with almost no customization whatsoever! WHAT RUBBISH IS THIS? I am still unable to find the total list of available publications on my country, even though it was available before easily. And who the hell, assumed everybody would want this idiotic smart flow?
Love it even more since the recent overhaul. My local library is a hot spot so I have access to even more material than the newspaper to which I subscribe. The app is reliable and easy to use, even when reading a newspaper on my cell phone. Quite a pleasure. Thanks for doing the app well and for continuing to invest in it.
I can't login, it states "Too many activations. Please deauthorize one of the existing devices before proceeding with this one." but I don't have any devices activated.
Can never ask for more...no more throwing away unread newspapers in my house.
A great app which can save a fortune.Only minor drawback is you have to visit library every 3 days to read papers at home.
But this app requires that I give them credit card info. No no no
I like the auto download. I only wish I could highlight sections
Good for the one paper I downloaded
All newspaper/epaper is india's no.1 newsapp
Works well.
Fantastic app. Easy to use.
Much improved app
Good app
Easy to use and intuitive. The zoom function doesn't always zoom in to the same level at times. .. not sure if that's a function of the program or the publication. Not a deal breaker though.

Terrible. Keeps crashing 2 to 3 times during the time it takes me to read 1 paper. Thought the new update would fix that but still doing it.
