What are users saying about PG Reader by the Post-Gazette

N70%
by N####:

I am a paid 7 days per week subscriber which I believe should give me full and unlimited access to content through this app. I am logged in but the app keeps asking me to login again and I cant access content. Very disappointed.

S70%
by S####:

No reader comments attached to articles. Update looks better, but very lacking

N70%
by N####:

Embarrassingly poor app. Missing content; broken links; no access to comments; no search capabilities and no access to archives, etc.

F70%

Can not upload the obituaries

Subscribe?? I don't think so.

L70%
by L####:

Since update, it crashes on opening. Although clearing data allows it to work, I will cancel my PAID subscription and delete the app.

N70%
by N####:

Stops at start up. Only advantage to app was that I didn't have to log in as legitimate customer every time I wanted to read paper.

N70%
by N####:

No better than the website, and keep getting the full page ad after every 2nd ogr 3rd story telling me to subscribe. But I am subscribed and the account is linked. Crappy app considering it is 2014. I subscribed for this app. So I cancelled my subscription and uninstalled app.

N70%

This app is junk does not work with android nexus and samsung phone

N70%
by N####:

Can't even get this to load. Very disappointed.

N70%
by N####:

Stinks. Works so well on my iPad. It's a shame Android devices get treated like red headed step children. No updates since September. Uninstalled.

S70%
by S####:

Would be nice if it accepted my subscription id and password and quit telling me I have read my quota. PG and ePG android applications are poorly written and poorly maintained, so this is par for the course. Complaints and bad reviews seem to have no effect nor is there ever any feedback from the developers.

S70%
by S####:

Feels outdated. Gives me obnoxious notifications about sports crap I could care less about. No notification customization.

E70%
by E####:

Still pages notifications even when I say don't

S70%
by S####:

Good newspaper

D70%
by D####:

Since update, it crashes on opening. Although clearing data allows it to work, I will cancel my PAID subscription and delete the app.

T70%
by T####:

Clunky to use. Slow. Only a few words in the title of the article display.

S70%
by S####:

Facebook log-in does not work. Spinner runs continuously. I'm a paid subscriber and cannot use app.

N70%
by N####:

Now I can keep up with my loved ones who live there!

Old app was flawless & new update stops, stutters, & just plain stinks with limited access to articles! Used to enjoy old app, so Boooo!

X70%
by X####:

The most recent update gives me push notifications, even with the push notifications unchecked in the settings. Will easily 5 star when fixed

M70%
by M####:

The post-gazette had to downgrade their app so it worked again. I would suggest that given the fact that the post-gazette is spending millions of dollars on digital technology, it should invest in an Android phone for its tech support department so that they can test the app before it is released on the unsuspecting Android population. When I called in to complain that the newer app was a POS, the person who answered the phone said that the only thing they could test the app with was an iPhone. Pitiful!

D70%
by D####:

After the latest update, the app crashes whenever I try to use it. This is the digital equivalent of getting my newspaper thrown into a tree or puddle.

M70%
by M####:

I just installed the new version and it crashes every time I try to start it. I can't use it at all now. If not fixed quickly I am going to cancel my subscription. No use paying for something I can't use. Older version comment: Crashes too much. Need to uninstall and reinstall often. What a pain...

M70%
by M####:

Stops at start up. Only advantage to app was that I didn't have to log in as legitimate customer every time I wanted to read paper.

M70%
by M####:

Never crashed prior to update now crashing on both of my devices...

Z70%
by Z####:

Like many others here, I installed the most recent update only to have the PG app crash every time I attempt to open it. I deleted and reinstalled--and it worked for about a minute. This time, I'm uninstalling for good and will just access local news through my web browser.

L70%
by L####:

App crashes every time I try to use it. Have to uninstall and reinstall. Not worth it. I'll read the paper version.

G70%
by G####:

Good content, easier to navigate than the mobile webpage, but the app crashes almost every time I use it.

M70%

Crashes on the first article every single time. After that, good content in a good format.
