User reviews
I recently downloaded PressReader using a city library account (meaning free to use) and have been pleasantly surprised. It's a great app for exploring a wide range of magazines and newspapers. The interface is intuitive, and it's easy to navigate through the vast selection of publications. While it might take a bit of time to adjust to the reading experience, especially for those accustomed to smartphone-optimized articles, the app's overall functionality is excellent.

Love it the team takes feedback seriously and is very customer-oriented. I have been using PressReader over many years. Singapore National Library did a good job engaging it, made the right pick. Upgraded from 4 stars to 5 because it deserves it.

Nice to have access to a lot of papers, but I really want to be able to read articles in a paginated mode where I click or swipe to go to the next page. Endless scroll is not comfortable on the eyes.
