The Press-Register

Enjoy having a daily paper in both print and digital. Local news is too important. This is the old review. Now reading only the Lede. The Lede has REALLY gotten much better this last year. The variety is great with the extensive coverage of local, national and international news. HIGHLY recommend the Lede

This is about the new app for the Mobile Lede. Downloading the daily paper is unsuccessful at least 50% of the time. The new format takes a little effort to get used to. I can live with that but not being able to read the paper daily is a major fail. I hope I can come back stating they have fixed the problem. As it is now it is much easier to get the news elsewhere. I try to support local papers but there has to be a product to buy otherwise it is charity.

Once you get the application properly installed, and once you are able to log in OK, the application works fine. It's unlike other newspaper or magazine applications in that it gives you a visual "picture" of the printed newspaper. From the pages of the newspaper, you can select individual articles, comics, even ads. It's not as easy to use as USA Today, for example, but it is a good substitute for the local "paper" newspaper. If you want the Mobile Press-Register and would like to stay green, it's a good substitute.
