I use it to practice reading Spanish. There is audio and a translation option available.

If you find real News upsetting you might like this deceptively advertised and misleading algorithm which strong arms you away from anything critical of those who use their governments to suppress, not elevate, the press.

Very difficult to find the publications I am searching for. I search for New York Times and it pulls up 10000 instances of New Tork Tume but never the actual publication. Frustrating

It only lets you read one publication that you already subscribe to. I read the pdf of the NYTimes on the coattails of my subscription to NYT.com. But if I want to read the Guardian, which I also subscribe to, I must sign out if the app and open a new account with my Guardian credentials. They want you to sign up for the PressReader subscription in order to read multiple publications, so the opening screen is slow to load while it updates thousands of publications thumbnails. Also, there’s no one there in terms of support, zero.

Where the option to read for free with your local library?

You can read the Economist for free. It’s good and otherwise not a cheap subscription.

I prefer reading a whole magazine/newspaper vs individual articles, and when I heard about this app, I thought it’d suit my preferences nicely. So I was dismayed to find out that the app would only work well on one device. Since the default subscription does not cover all publications, I have to purchase e.g. the Economist separately. When I try to access them on another device however, the app does not recognize that I’ve purchased them, instead requiring me to pay for them again. And there is no syncing your library across devices, nor is the search function very effective as it seems to hide/show certain publications at random without telling you transparently regional availability on any of them. When I contacted PressReader support on the issue, the rep seemed more oblivious than I was about how the app works, yet despite his negligence, he responded at first to my concerns as if I were a total idiot. It’s appalling that such a popular platform has not had a simple library syncing feature figured out. That alone would only be annoying, but my experience with the app is made so much worse by the incompetent support.

Different clicks provide different info for the same day same paper.

I’m having trouble logging in every x I want to read a publication
