'PressReader' Brings the Headlines to Digital Skeptics

There’s something rewarding about shaking open a newspaper—the crack of a fresh page, the smell of the paper, the ink smudges on your fingertips—that can’t be recreated by digital media. In the wide world of mobile apps, there are plenty of popular publications and independent developers working to engineer the ultimate news app. PressReader is throwing its hat in the ring by bringing users the best of both worlds.

PressReader allows you to view news stories in a traditional print format or in an easier-to-read, app-friendly window. With over 1,900 full-content newspapers available through PressReader, you won’t want for fresh headlines. There are two subscription options: you can pay as you go ($.99 per download), or pay monthly ($29.95) for unlimited downloads. Once you’ve selected your payment plan you can start searching for, and downloading your favorite publications.

News stories will appear as they would in print—section dividers and bold headlines adorning each page. These “digital replicas” can be read fully from cover to cover. If the layout is too cluttered for your taste, you can click on a headline to pop out a mobile reader.

Each PressReader edition is enhanced to enable search and share capabilities, and all phone numbers, links, and email addresses are clickable. PressReader even allows you to jump to the end of articles that appear on different pages with “continued on page” links. This app is ideal for anyone who has had a hard time transitioning to the world of digital print, but more than that, it’s a whole new digital news experience. If you’re still skeptical, PressReader provides new users with 7 free credits, so you’re first downloads are free of any lingering buyer’s remorse. There may not be ink on your fingertips, but there will be plenty of news to read. AppPicker Rating: 4 / 5 Stars Pick It Up in the App Store: PressReader Other apps by NewspaperDirect Inc.
