PressReader Reviews 214

Great way to catch up with news from all over the world.

I love everything about it and how easy it is to navigate the app.
Logging in was a bit tricky as I have a library card. Maybe a good idea to have step by step instructions for city of Cape Town library card holders.

Press reader is great you can read papers and magazines from around the world!

It helps me to stay updated with global news from the vast library of newspapers and magazines. Like features like audioplayback and adfree content

Great app loads of good quality newspapers and magazines all completely free via the library. This appeal alone is good reason to join.

What a great resource for looking at magazines and newspapers

Very easy to use, and a wide range of publications available.

One stop solution for all newspapers and magazines, and completely free when there’s sponsored hotspots.

Unbelievable access to major publications and free via your library if your council subscribes. Amazing.

The user interface and large catalogue of newspapers are great. New capabilities to roll out would benefit small communities by partnering with more small community newspapers, giving them the facility to upload stories as a tabloid. This would enable stories from rural areas to reach the urban areas to inform them of the plights and great stories they experience. A UI to enable the scanning or uploading of electronic tabloids, similar to platforms like Squarespace would make it easier for non-techie users.

Absolutely brilliant!
Keeps me occupied and saves me money.
Win Win situation😁😁

I love the choices of different magazines, newspapers, books. Easy to use and to set up

Easy to use platform and through my local library I have access to a great variety of helpful materials.

not very friendly site. 15 issues for 11.99/month is not 15 newspapers per month. everytime your pick a different day, you are down one issue . the focus is terrible (on website), you cannot see the articles clearly (it seems it is designed for using the app on the phone) . it was a waste of USD 11.99
besides they do not have a cancellation option (only change or upgrade) you have to change to pay as you go to really cancel. so I did that (so hopefully it does not automatically renew after one month), and I just deleted the account. I'll check my bank statement in a month time. it was a waste of time and money.

very painful experience. i am a new subscriber to the premium scheme. not only i have been charged 29.99 euros after the so called 1 first week at free charge but i was surprised that on the top of subscription i have been charged 56 times 3.99 euros within 2 days without any extra purchase done aside from reading Available (no extra charge mentioned) newspapers and magazines. contacted the support obviously after been charged the first day and been surprised they found charging my credit card 140 euros within a day normal. the next day after being charged an extra 75 euros, no more answers from support. This is a real SCAM

Deep dissatisfaction with a recent experience on this platform. I am a new PressReader user and had just purchased a magazine. While reading, I noticed two previous issues displayed underneath the one I bought. Assuming these were merely previews, I clicked on them to view more details.
To my surprise, PressReader processed these clicks as purchases and charged my credit card without any confirmation or notification. I only became aware of these charges after reviewing my credit card statement. This practice is extremely misleading and has caused me significant concern.
I find this lack of transparency unacceptable and feel that the process is not conducted in an honest manner.
