"body": "I was never as extremely against the online version of the P-G as the individuals in the TV ads but I wasn’t a fan. Now that I am using PGe more often. I find that I read more of the ‘paper’ than I did with the actual paper. Somehow it is easier to focus on each article. I only gave 4 stars because I’m still getting used to maneuvering through the sections. It might get 5 stars after a few more weeks of use.",

"title": "PG Newslide",
"body": "The PG Newslide is a unique way to get some of the news. It offers the same article as on the PG web page, it just offers only a few. I suppose the thinking is if someone reads article on the Newslide they will want to pay for a subscription to their website and be able to access all of the articles. I have news for the PG — I will not pay for your liberal, left-leaning web page. I have read the PG for years and have throughly enjoy most of the sports coverage, (I stopped reading PG news articles a long time ago because of the liberal bias.). So not only are you losing me, a loyal reader of the PG sports, but I am not seeing the ads your advertisers pay to post on your site. Especially when I can read about Pittsburgh sports for free on the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review site, or any number of other free sites. Because of your website’s pay-wall you have lost me! Goodbye!",

"body": "I appreciate the slide on those days the paper is not in in my driveway. As a 50 year subscriber since my 3 boys delivered from grade 3 until they each left for college, the PG has been a hallmark for us! I can’t begin to tell you how delivering and the route manager, John Radvan, molded those boys to become the responsible men they are today! I only hope you will never do away with the paper issue, though we don’t miss the inky fingers! Also, many thanks for publishing the crossword, celebrity scramble, etc. for those days there is not a paper issue! You at the PG are appreciated! Thank you! Whether sports, national, local, society, comics—anything, you are the very best! Luisa and Larry Nitowski",

"title": "Frustrating App",
"body": "I use this app daily to read the Post-Gazette. It just keeps getting worse and more frustrating. It takes a long time for the paper to load. It crashes often. It freezes or lags constantly where I cannot move around or zoom in or out. If lags almost every time I zoom in on text. Sometimes the lag is 20-30 seconds at a time before it responds again. Since I no longer have the print edition of the paper available, this is my only option to read the newspaper in a traditional paper layout. I am ready to cancel my subscription since the app is never updated and the issues are never fixed. Please update the bugs in this app before you lose even more subscribers!",

"title": "Unhappy",
"body": "I really liked the Newslide format. This change is frustrating. First and foremost it does not work with the individualized text size feature so that even with readers I have to pinch and move around the text block to see the article. Second the games are NOT interactive as stated in the description but rather printable. I will try it for about a week, see if it is easier to read on my iPad vs my phone, but strongly anticipate canceling my subscription. I will miss local coverage if I do",
