PGe Original

Im a Pittsburgher away from home for the winter months. I love being able to keep in touch with what's going on at home while I’m enjoying the warm weather. The PPG app makes this possible as I read the PPG every morning on my IPAD as I drink my coffee. Sometimes it jumps pages when I don't want it to but still provides me a taste of home any time I want it.

Just started using PGe app to read through the daily Post-Gazette. Tap to zoom the columns as I read them, highlighting words to look them up on internet and keeping earlier editions to refer back to all easier than an actual newspaper. I am nostalgic for the traditional page layout than seeing what comes on NewsSlide app and will use PGe when I want the view of the old newspaper.

Despite the PG’s offensive advertising which mocked those who prefer a true newspaper, the app is dreadfully inadequate at delivering news. Often stories are cut off. Links do not open. And god help you if you want to read something from an earlier edition of the paper. Oh sure, they give you the option of loading the paper from earlier in the week. It is great fun to watch a spinning circle for hours as it claims to be downloading. In total, the app is garbage. Unfortunately the reporting in the paper isn’t much better. It’s sad because the Post Gazette used to be a great newspaper.

One of the joys of reading the physical newspaper is the exploration and stumbling into stories that doesn’t happen in the digital universe. This app allows for that experience to happen. Still need to fix when you click on story to read, but overall closest thing I’ve seen to replicating the physical reading experience.

Appreciate the in-depth reporting on issues national and local as well as global. Appears balanced. Informative. Please put more articles on the climate crisis on the front page. Certainly easy to use the app. Although I have been a fan of a printed copy, have found I really like the digital version.
