★★☆☆☆ United States · v8.0.2 · 12 Mar 2026

Biased

It’s quite obvious if this paper is far left of center in choice of topics to report and how they report them. There’s a very anti-republican tone to this newspaper. Editorials are frequently copied from the Washington Post and do not reflect the values of the West Michigan community. The Grand Rapids Press is not intellectually honest and rarely presents both sides of a topic. Very disappointing.

Missing Issue

What happened with the January 12, 2025 issue? You sent the December 25, 2024 issue in its place. And, there was no searching for this issue in case it was posted incorrectly. It just was not there.

News

The “Press” continues to be a reliable source of local and state news. One needs more than sound bites to understand current affairs. Editorials also offer readers a perspective on current issues that may have not otherwise been considered. We need good news journals and journalists. Thank you Grand Rapids press.

Good app. News is news.

The Grand Rapids press is a good app. Easy to use, read and navigate. It is my main news source. I enjoy the local and state news that is not available from nationwide sources, yet has adequate national and world coverage. I don’t always agree with the opinion commentary which has a liberal bias. I like when they invite articles from both sides on a topic. They need more of that format. I enjoy the option to have hard copy news available and especially enjoy the Sunday edition that way. And oh, I do enjoy the daily comics!😀

Just a few clicks needed

When reading the GR Press on my phone or iPad, only a few clicks are needed to navigate to what I want to read next. I did have to learn the functionality of the command icons, as these are not intuitive. I like the access to past issues and the option to access live news. Load times between pages is acceptable for the service I have. The way I set my credentials makes logging on a snap. This is a benchmark app.

Downloads are low resolution

If you try to download an article or any of the puzzles, the resolution is so low that the blurry text is almost illegible. It’s worthless if doing the puzzles is a major use of the app. Subscription amount is high for limited articles and content which is normally a day or so late compared to other news outlets and papers.

Convenient

I like having this app to get my daily grand rapids press. It does work most of the time. Every once in a while it doesn't. There are times when I've had to go into my email to open up The latest issue. But more often than not it's fine.

Never got around to reading the newspaper when I was receiving a hard copy. This makes it easy to breeze through the paper when ever I have a minute.

Local news

Does a fair job in reporting the local news and I appreciate the weekend addition of Washington Post. Not too happy about paying $6.00 extra for the Thanksgiving Edition. Nothing but advertisements that GRPress gets paid for. So what should the subscribers pay for it as well?

Daily Must Read

If you live in West Michigan you must read The Grand Rapids Press every day. Reading it on line with the MLive.com app is the way to go. Local, national and international news are included in every edition, along with advice columns, comics, cooking and fashion news, weather, sports and obituaries on certain days of the week. With GR Press app, it’s so easy to access and read on your phone or iPad before you start your day.

Won’t open actual paper

Program doesn’t load the paper. Clicking on the app icon brings up the paper and icons of stories surrounding the “paper”, click on the paper and the program goes on an endless loop looking for past issues. But, if you click on one of side story windows before trying to read the paper, that window does open. Deleting and reinstalling does not change this issue.

Keeps asking me to login

It keeps asking me to login, and then I'm caught in a constant loop! I also would prefer the "paper" format vs. a webpage look. As another reviewer stated, if I wanted a webpage, I'd just go to the webpage. It also won't let me access any other edition except for the current day. Super frustrating.
