Reviews for The Oakland Press
Hate my paper
Can’t get daily paper
I am stuck on how to get my e.paper. Every time I bring it up,it’s stuck on the Dec. 23 edition. I have been using Firefox for a couple of years now and have never run into this problem. Not the most computer literate guy and have no idea how to remedy this situation. Finally gonna contact the paper.

Don’t waste your money
I pay for a subscription to the Oakland Press but the app is terrible. You can only view stories in the “top news” section. Want to click on a specific topic like crime and public safety? It will give you 3 articles with 3 advertisements and that’s it. Sometimes the 3 articles won’t even open. I’ve updated this app several times with no improvement. Hire better tech people to get your app where it needs to be. It’s pathetic and frustrating.
