PressReader Reviews 230

Was really good a few years ago but is difficult to.use now. I access this through a State Library membership and now PR repeatedly asks for sign-in whereas this usually only occurred once every few weeks. Great selection of papers, magazines etc but is now becoming a hassle to use, sadly

24 May 2026 - purchased single newspaper for access to 1 article. They charged me twice. Access was extremely tedious and only then it came with huge watermark through it! Very unhelpful customer support team. Awful website/app - not user friendly and over charged.

Wow. PressReader let me read the NewYork Times like i am actually reading the paper copy…and i can take it anywhere, on a plane, to Greece, the Poconos, or the beach. It’s awesome

I love PressReader for the variety of magazines and newspapers. Very easy to download and fast. Highly recommend !!

Wide selection of international news and magazines. Easy reading on tablet or phone.

Excellent facility provided through my local library. Great content and you can travel the world from your sofa by reading a huge range of the world’s newspapers in the morning.

I am a disabled lady who doesn’t get out a great deal having Press Reader with all the Newspapers and Magazines is a game changer. The site is easy to use and free through the Library.
I let people know how great Press Reader is.

Great system - uploaded very early each day. Reliable service….

I get to access the newspapers from my home country as well as a wide variety of other newspapers and magazines that appeal to me

All News papers & Magazines in Arabic & English languages are available in one app.

Provision of newspapers and magazines covering local and international regions through libraries,free of cost.

Puts my favorite papers in my hands first thing every morning.

An excellent free service through my local library. Unfortunately it occasionally logs me out of the system and I sometimes have problems logging back in. Not sure if this is Pressreader or my local library causing the problem.

Pressreader is fantastic! I used to spend a fortune on newspapers and theyve recently gone up even more plus i am saving the planet! It even has ability for audio which is useful when your weary and text can be enlarged

I paid for an issue of Southland Times then the receipt encouraged me to download PressReader. I thought the issue could only be read there so I downloaded it. After signing in with my google account the front page showed me multiple newspapers. There’s only a button vaguely named “order” “buy” without displaying any price. I accidentally clicked into the issues then my card was charged multiple times. I went into the setting , not being able to find option to remove my payment method or check my payment history. What you’re doing is against consumer act. I want my refund. Tried to make a complaint on their website, keep telling me the amount is not right so I couldn’t submit it. It’s a shady practice and I’m going to post this experience on Trust Pilot Review and social media to let more people know

Update:
Their tech support reached me quickly after this review- the one more star is for your great work Roy. Cheers mate. However, if the cancellation option and clear pricing issues aren’t sorted, I’m afraid two stars is the highest rating I can give.

I’ve been a member of the library for years and enjoy that but had never really explored Press Reader. Now I’ve found it I’m a complete zealot. There are a couple of publications that I’d like to see ( The Times of London) but I can only assume that’s the publication not playing ball and not Press Reader.

Great choice of magazines and newspapers.

Your choice of paper at the touch of a button is so convenient.

Great facility works perfectly
