Change font size in settings
For those who wish to make the text bigger, including the headlines, tap on the settings icon on the bottom of the screen. At the top of the settings page you’ll see a scale with letter “a” on it in small, medium and large sizes. Drag the blue dot across to 5e size you want. When you go back to the main page, the headlines and the text will be the size you selected. As for the content, I appreciate it and I appreciate that the news on the app is still free. However, will likely subscribe soon. We need to support our local news sources. We need to make sure local journalists’ voices are heard and stay connected to our local communities and the world.

Year old articles
I enjoy reading articles from the Pioneer Press and want to support local journalism. However, when the articles in my newsfeed are 6+ months old, it’s difficult to want to continue subscribing.

No notifications
I used to get Pioneer Press notifications from the app, but I can’t remember the last time I saw one. I know they’re still sending them because a friend of mine showed me she’s getting them. Nothing wrong with my settings. It would be nice if this got fixed, I hate missing news.
