Buggy, but promising
WildCelt
This app is sorely needed to keep print media relevant, but if this app as it stands now is any indication, they may as we'll pack it in now. It is very slow, buggy, and crashes and/or freezes often. It includes the sections of the paper, but none of the inserts (read=ads). All that being said, I have found myself reading the paper a bit more than I used to due to this app. If they can work some of the kinks out, it may actually be promising!
Still bad

Would have thought since it is no longer a freebie, you would have fixed the crashes. Sorry to see it is as bad as in the past.
Slow, slow, slow

It can take a very long time to move from page to page. Frequent hangs or it just stops responding. They need to do a better job of fitting the page to the screen. You spend a lot of time scrolling up and down.
Needs work

Finally getting used to the concept of reading paper online. Getting tired of the tedious nature of using this app; screen freezes, app closes unexpectedly, takes forever to load a page or sometimes to focus on page. Please make improvements!
The worst app I've ever seen
firefly_michigan
Without any doubt whatsoever, the Grand Rapids press application for iPad is the worst app I have ever had the misfortune of using. Every day, the application locks up at least seven or eight times as I am trying to move from one page to another. I have to close and reopen the application. That works about 1 in 3 times. If I could rate this zero stars I would.
Progressively getting worse

The app worked okay when it first came out but now is TERRIBLE! I have been unable to read the whole edition without it freezing up, especially when it lands on the page that addresses the subscribers and a contest to win an Ipad. Please fix as this is the only way to read some of the editions.
Finally, my GR Press again

Ok, this is not the best app in the world, but I am so glad to have my local paper available to me for my on the go life. I have missed feeling connected to my community and now have a tool to see what's going on around me. Thanks for bringing this to us.
Please fix this!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm growing impatient with this app. While I used to like it, I'm experiencing the same problems as everyone else. Fix it or lose another former loyal reader of the print and digital version.
App won’t work

Supposed upgrades to the app have made it not function on an iPad. Nice service. And you wonder why local newspapers struggle. You should be ashamed.
Needs work

Like the other reviewers said, this app needs work, crashes, displays two pages at a time, doesn't show ads
