Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent and free from my library service.

The app is provided free by my local library service. It works very well, I can't fault it really. Occasional glitch usually after they've released an upgrade but if you report the issue from the app they come back to you quickly with suggestions.

It’s not reliable

It’s not reliable. It is aloe, and it is buggy. It sometimes works. Happy Equinox.

Comments Get in the Way

Overall very useful but sometimes the comment numbers cover up vital bits of text and it cannot be read. Why not use auto-scaling on the comment number layer so it remains the same size when the text is zoomed? Then in most cases you would still be able to read the text underneath.

Pressreader satisfactory, but ditch article comments

Pressreader is a good way to access journals and newspapers. My only criticism is that comments on the various articles within pages detract from the reading experience. It's always the same few people commenting and the attitudes are often harsh and lacking balance. I feel that those who wish to comment on specific editorials within the publication should write to it directly to vent their opinions.

For too long I got requests for subscriptions when I thought it was a free service if you had a library card. I’m still not sure how it works
