Staying up with the news
I look forward to reading the paper every morning.
The previous app was user friendly.
This new one is horrible!
Des Moines Register e-newspaper app
Has this app ever been tested on an I-Pad? It is HORRIBLE!! It does unpredictable things constantly. I can be zooming in on an article to read it and an article on a different page appears. Or, the app might go back to page one of section one. Half the time I spend on the app is wasted.
I am frustrated with this app
I am a 16 year old male and a native Iowan who wants to know some of the big picture of what is happening in the state. As far as I knew this was the most influential newspaper in the area and the most likely to give me some of the information I was looking for in the format I was looking for. The problem is that you have to purchase a subscription to read most of the articles which requires you to be an adult or at least agree you are one. This is a major roadblock in me actually using the app, and I am very frustrated about it as I get a free subscription to the New York Times. As such I can’t give it above the lowest rating because I don’t even get a chance to really read most of the content because I am not allowed to read it.
App doesn’t work
The app won’t allow me to renew my subscription.
Not Good
Purchased a yearly subscription, but an always pops up in my articles asking me to subscribe. It’s not just a little, it’s an add that blocks you from reading the article and you must click out of it to move on. So annoying.
Tech Issues
And nobody will get back to me.
Glitchy
Constantly asks me to login. The advertisements throughout the feed are absolutely annoying and disrupt the feed. And then the occasional pop-up asking me to subscribe.
Horrible! Makes me sign in 3-4 times and change pw constantly
I am ready to cancel my annual subscription as it requires multiple login attempts and resetting of my password just to get to the ONE story I would like to read, and then it has a popup covering the story, asking me to subscribe! I AM subscribed! I AM logged in! This happens daily! Daily! It is NOT worth the time and effort it requires! I will read the WSJ and Times via their apps that actually RECOGNIZE ME AND WORK! This has gone on for months! The app seems to recognize my email and password and FACIAL RECOGNITION, and then blocking POP UP! Horrible app. I pay with a card, not through other apps like Apple. One would think it better, but it wants me to reinstate my purchase with Apple. It needs to work! I let it use facial recognition as I was so disgusted with this occurring multiple times per day. I’ll get a refund. Not worth the time!
Format
I prefer the traditional newspaper format with a front page with 4-5 following pages. Then sports with sports page and supporting pages etc. like the Mineral Daily News example.
