The Press Democrat

Stay informed with a local news app redesigned for speed and personalization. The Press Democrat delivers Santa Rosa and Sonoma County news in a streamlined native app that puts you in control of what you read.

Your News section lets you customize your feed by selecting topics that matter most to you. Instead of scrolling through everything published, jump straight to breaking news, sports, lifestyle, and local stories you actually care about. Bypass the noise and focus on what's relevant to your community.

Save articles and stories you want to read later with the built-in save feature. Push notifications remind you when you have saved content waiting, plus they suggest related stories you might have missed. You control notification frequency and topics—get alerts only for news that interests you, keeping your phone less cluttered.

Navigate seamlessly between sections using the intuitive top navigation bar. Swipe or tap to switch between local news, sports, entertainment, and more without hunting through menus. For readers who miss the traditional newspaper experience, the eEdition feature brings the full digital replica directly into the app—no need to download a separate reader.

The Press Democrat's optimized performance means faster load times and a smoother experience whether you're checking headlines on your commute or catching up at home. Experience Santa Rosa and Sonoma County news the way you want it.
