The PDN app is a basic, no frills reader that allows me to follow local news as easily as I can news from major outlets online. One complaint - and I can’t claim any documented proof of this - is that it seems that there are stories that show up in their hard copy edition before making it to the digital edition.
Another issue is that it also seems that PDN puts some stories up on Facebook before (or without?) making them available in PeninsulaDailyNews . The problem there is that my PDN login info doesn’t save via that portal, so I I eventually hit the ‘free story limit’, and have to go through a series of steps to login to my PDN account.
Ultimately, it’s better than generating a lot of solid, albeit recyclable, waste, but it’s not as good as it could be.
