Still ENJOY
I still enjoy the PS everyday since my delivery days(66 years ago).
Unable to get newspaper on my iPad
My payment is currently active but editions section will not appear, This is incredibly frustrating!
Difficult signing in on the iPad
Password for iPad not working
Very difficult to use
I used to read the SU sports news daily on my iPhone from the Post Standard until something changed about 6 months ago. Now it is difficult to do everything. 5 minutes to log in, difficult to get to sports news, looses connection frequently. I now use more reliable sites to get SU sports news daily.
Easy to navigate, just wish it was posted earlier
Used to be posted around 4am, now not til 6am. I am an early riser. Other than that it is very easy to use.
At least
Well they can’t deliver their hard copy BUT the digital copy is there ALWAYS. But I hate to read the newspaper on my phone!!! So I only read headlines and look at things that interest me!!
Payment
Most terrible page to get around!!!!!
Digital Post Standard
If you like reading newspapers, this is a great local go to. It gives you the feel of a newspaper without the ink on your hands. The supplements are a nice bonus. My only criticism is that I get up early for work some days (4 am) and it may not be available until 5am.
Paper print
I don’t like reading the paper on line. I like sitting with my coffee and reading a printed paper. Wish I could still get that more than 3 days a week.
Change is not always good
The PS recently re-did their app. I much prefer the older version where I could see the whole page on one side and a blown up version on the older side
Where did it go?
Not liking the new format as you eliminated the Sunday Teleword puzzle. The comics are on super overload with too many so I page through which is cumbersome at best using the app. I’m disappointed overall plus the proofreading seems to be lacking as there are numerous spelling errors on a regular basis. Please try to improve the Post Standard as it can be a stand out newspaper worth saving. Just Concerned, thanks.
Daily crosswords and Sunday samurai sudoku
Our family is disappointed that as of 3/9/25 you no longer have the daily crosswords other than The NY Times and LA times which are often too difficult. We also enjoyed the Sunday samurai sudoku which appear to have been removed from your digital version. Please bring them back!!!!🙏🏻
News app
This app is better than previous I can read articles and comics without blurring
Lop sided
Have been a reader for decades. Syracuse Post-Standard when owned by Rodger’s Family, published a fair and and newsworthy paper. Journalists as David Case and Sean Kirst wrote excellent articles, there was an editorial staff that held corrupt government officials accountable. Since Washington Post acquisition all of this has changed to a far left sided content, with majority of printed material from WAPO journalists, and other left sided media, with an agenda far from honest and fair. The editorial staff rarely appear, and fail terribly to hold Politicians accountable. Example are the editorials about the CORRUPT AND ABUSIVE CUOMO administration, as well as a CONGRESS, EDITORIALS I believe tepid and weak in tone at best. A newspaper that fails its readers in honesty, integrity and quality.
Easy to read and follow
The Post Standard is one of the best local newspapers. Your investigative reporting is your strength. I am always impressed by the digging your reporters do; they are good enough for one of the big papers. We are lucky to have this paper. Thanks. Jan Clausen.
.com
Paid for Syracuse.com but can’t get in. Help desk not helpful
Stories
I use an iPad to read the paper. Not all of the stories open up to be read. You need to enlarge them by stretching the text.
Can't navigate by section
If a reader wants to skip around from section to section of the edition, it's not possible. All one can do is scroll through a page at a time. Come on! It's one of the most basic features a reader could ask for. And it keeps me from reading things I would otherwise read, losing you my eyeballs on your ads.
Don’t like new digital lay out.
I hate the new format . The print is not larger , you still have to enlarge the page , Then sometimes you are opening an article you didn’t intend to read , If you forget to scroll down you miss that content , It used to tell you how many pages there were , not sure when you are at the end , And the obituary columns are annoying . They should be alphabetized straight down the columns, right to left . You keep calling me to go all digital , I still get Sunday paper . I enjoy the puzzle pages , so maybe you could make them interactive somehow ,
Post Standard App
It is no longer enjoyable to thumb through every morning and easy. Whatever you did to “upgrade” it recently has caused the paging to keep automatically go back to page 1, or locking into reversing back to the previous page with no way to advance pages other than to close and start over. Very frustrating.
Issues
1. Unable to enlarge font size. 2. No table of contents, must scroll through pages. 3. Still must enlarge articles.
New format
I don’t know why you had to go and change it, but it is awful. Unless you make some correction, we will be canceling our subscription.
Terrible app
It is very difficult to read the Post Standard and/or Syracuse.com. The PS app does not respond to commands. Articles I’ve read appear in the PS several days later. It is no longer a CNY newspaper now that it is printed in another state. The local news consists of the local obituaries. Sad state of affairs.
Inconvenient format
The new layout is not as easy to use. I don’t like that you can’t shrink the page smaller than full page width to allow seeing the entire page, width and length. I also do not like the removal of the progress bar across. The upgrade to load automatically rather than having to select the preview is a positive.
Love this paper!
Haven’t found a better paper since we moved from central New York. Best for national news and editorials as well as the local news we can relate to.
New online paper
It’s terrible. It comes out gigantic on my iPad and then freezes so I can’t do anything with it. Definitely not better
Post Standard
Love my morning paper with a cup of coffee. It is my morning ritual.
New App Format
The new format is hard to read. I used to just jump to the sports page and now it’s difficult to navigate the pages.
Where are the games
The update has no apparent improvement. And I can’t Find the games. WHERE ARE THEY1
Locked out
I've been trying to get in touch with someone for a week to get my account reestablished with no response. Can make up a nickname that's not already taken!
Crossword Puzzle
The Daily Crossword Auto Check is not working. Any and all correct words entered are struck with a red slash when Auto Check is “On”.
New web paper
Horrible layout, tough to use!
