5/5No more newspaper print on hands
Reading the Waterbury paper is absolutely great. I have been doing it for over two years. It’s pretty easy to get used too and your don’t have too share with anyone. What I really enjoy is making the print larger, easier to read, you can send articles to others, no more recycling the papers, no dust from the paper, clean hands and articles you can save, you can go back in the paper 30 days, just to name a few of the highlights. You really need to give it a try. I have an iPad I read it on so it’s fantastic. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, you’ll probably wonder why you haven’t been reading it online all along, it’s the future. I’m 73 and my husband is 74, makes for a calmer relationship when it comes to the newspaper. So easy once you get the hang of it.

5/5It works perfectly!
I used the other method I was offered for years to read my newspaper online and most days it worked ok, but required several additional steps and sometimes I would have to shut my device off completely several times and it still wouldn’t load the current edition. Tecnavia works perfectly every time and only requires one step to open today’s paper!

4/5Getting Better
My initial experience with the new format for the newspaper took a while to get used to. Repeatedly when I first begin reading it, I would go all the way back to the start again, and I had to do this for five times. I finally called the newspaper and got some help, but I’ve learned how to do it better myself. Anyway, it’s working fine right now. I do wish the newspaper was more balanced in its content; it is basically a Democratic party periodical with very little critique of the current administration. Very one-sided.

5/5Best Way to Read the Paper
Previously I had been reading the paper using my iPad’s browser, however this app allows me to easily zoom in and out of any page I’m reading much more easily, using whatever zoom level I’m comfortable with. It also loads the paper with just one click without having to search for the paper in my email. No complaints here.

3/5Nothing loads (update)
My newspaper subscription today directed me to this app as the replacement for the existing one. Opening on the app loads a basically blank page. There is an apparent ‘search’ function, but it is not possible enter anything. Next day... NOW it loads and appears to work fine. Not sure what is better about it than then one previously being used for The Winchester Star, but at least it works - and I have learned I can also access the paper (in the same format) in a browser.
