4/5Glitch ios16
Since the ios16 update this app has a glitch where I cannot read any of the articles. When I pull down on the screen, instead of expanding so it can be read, the article does not open; instead it looks as if the screen is shaking. Before the update the app worked perfectly, I noticed the last app update was 1 month ago, perhaps the update needs to be updated.

1/5Poor App
My biggest gripe with this app is that the daily newspaper is not downloadable. I’ve been reading the Daily News on the subway to and from school/work for many decades. In previous versions I’ve been able to download the paper and read it uninterrupted on the subway no matter where I was underground. I was even able to view a full two page version of the paper so I could really get that “newspaper” experience. That two page view is gone. Also, after “downloading” the newest edition of the day’s newspaper, if a cell connection of some kind is not maintained, the paper will freeze up and not allow you to move around. As is the case on the subway, there are many spots where you lose service for a little bit. I’m constantly being interrupted reading by losing the connection and my paper freezing up. Inevitably, I will tire of this and just be done with the NY Daily News once and for all. Just another thing that will be of the past.

2/5Needs Lots of Improvement
NYDN’s app and webpage needs lots of work. It’s hard to understand why it’s so poorly done. The same article gets repeated 3,4, 5 times as you scroll through the top stories. Articles get carried for days on end with not enough fresh content. Photos are not framed properly as you scroll though top stories. The sports coverage has gone down the toilet. There very little original content or opinion. If anything important is happening locally, I look to other sources for up-to-date news coverage. That shouldn’t be. I want this app to be good. Long ago I purchased the paper every day on my way to work, but I’m ready to accept a good app. I want excellent local coverage of the news, investigative stories, great columnists like much-missed Pete Hammil and Mike Lupica. I want daily, in-depth coverage of my favorite local sport teams. I’m not certain how much longer I will keep checking the NYDN online, hoping for improvement, before I give up.

1/5The Digital Edition and This app digital paper
I have a current subscription to the digital edition for the news (white with red lettering), can’t download the papers. I was looking over this app and purchased it in error. This second Daily News app the was just updated. However, when I downloaded the e-paper from this application it said my limited was up and I can made another purchase too to read the paper. I contacted apple for a refund. Hopefully, I may get this purchase back except the taxes . I do miss the paper but I feel I being rob by the Daily News by using their apps. I been a Daily News reader for over 60 years. I got no feedback from the older app with many inquiries. I quest it with be the same for this app also.

1/5Why is it getting worse?
Update: now I have to pay for this unfinished product??? Delete App.. done. This new update doesn’t allow you to swipe left after reading an article, you have to click the back button that brings you back to the top of the list of articles. You essentially lose your place and have to sift through all the article titles to read to get back to where you were. Whose idiotic idea was this?. Plus now that all these pics are huge now I have to scroll forever to see all the articles. Bigger pics mean longer downloads. And now I see doubles of the same articles, this has got to be a joke. Think before you do. Don’t put unfinished products or change somewhat functional ones just for the same of change.
