Comments on PG Reader by the Post-Gazette for Android

★★★★★ Linda Ludwig · Sep 28, 2019
Much prefer this app to the new PG news slide.
★★★★★ dave yark · Mar 11, 2023
With Noah Hiles & Chris Carter on the scene, the post gazette is finally worth reading
★★★★☆ Steven Batten · Dec 28, 2023
Love the Steelers chats. Keep 'em coming.
★★★★★ Duane Hawk · Oct 21, 2022
Bridge replaced in record time! Too bad it took the collapse to awaken people of the need to better take care of infrastructure in America. When I lived in the East End area crossed that bridge many times in my car and PAT buses. Yes I am that old. Live in SE Florida now, but always think about Pittsburgh.
★★★★☆ Ed Barr · Dec 4, 2020
Love this app. Silly thing I wish they had, but something like a check mark when you are done reading an article, like The Athletic Pittsburgh has.
★★☆☆☆ Rebecca Winschel · Sep 17, 2022
I'm trying to get the whole paper but only get articles.
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Sep 20, 2014
Awful Since update, it crashes on opening. Although clearing data allows it to work, I will cancel my PAID subscription and delete the app.
★☆☆☆☆ Jim Moreland · Aug 5, 2022
Opened after install, and it asked if I wanted PUSH NOTIFICATIONS but did not open keyboard or a box to check to say yes or no. I will delete and try one more time. Update 8-5-2022. Just now loaded the June 28 update and the Push Notification glitch is still there. No button to accept or reject, no way to get to the paper. Useless.
