1. 5/5Great paper, great app

   Local news is so vital, and this paper has more than paid for itself! Definitely recommend a subscription if you live in Texas, they’ve had some great coverage and reporting that I’m always sharing with people and telling them they need a subscription! :) but local elections, during the COVID crisis, changes to schools, laws/changes, news that isn’t reported other places and if it is it’s not from a local perspective. Like when giving Ice more funding was up for a vote, I wanted to know about it! Newest lawsuit from Paxton, Texas summer camps not getting approved. Local news is vital to democracy, if you don’t know what’s going on, then you won’t be ready when say, you get the email your local elementary school is closing and you want to know why and what happened in an unbiased way that isn’t left or right but facts. Like did you know it’s being worked on so there’s Bible verses in the new Blue Bonnet curriculum for schools for Texas? There’s an article about that, multiple. You can search with their search function. Oncor power grid updates, water plans so north Texas doesn’t run out (we could if they don’t make good choices) are they making the right choices? Search up the article! Don’t read Facebook from your uncle, read from professional unbiased reporters who report what you need to know and not just “click bait”. Save your brain, save democracy, read the local paper!

2. 5/5Wow, much improved app!

   I had used this app and subscribed to the DMN previously and I enjoyed it, but didn’t think the user interface was good enough to warrant paying the subscription price. Today, I downloaded the app and re-subscribed. What a difference! This app is superb on both my iPad and my iPhone. Now, it’s definitely worth the subscription price. And I like the convenience of paying for it via my Apple account, rather than the hassle of paying DMN directly. By the way, what hooked me was that DMN recently became part of the Apple News+ app. When that happened and I began seeing and enjoying DMN news articles in Apple News+, it prompted me to check into getting all DMN news in their own app.

3. 1/5Don’t buy this. It doesn’t work

   I had this unbelievable subscription price for the DMN through iTunes for several years. Almost every time my subscription automatically renewed I could no longer get access. Don’t bother calling the DMN for this issue. They always point back to iTunes as 3rd party and it’s iTunes fault so deal with them. After more than an hour online with apple support the very nice tech did everything he could to get my access restored to no avail. He sent me back to DMN even though I assured him they would send me back to Apple. I cannot tell you how many customer service reps and supervisors I talked to at DMN mostly because they put me on hold only for my call to be dropped and I had to call back and go through the hassle again. The iTunes deal looks like a good deal and all warm and fuzzy with DMN but the customer service reps at DMN won’t help you and will only sell you their current deal which amounts to more than 4 times the iTunes deal per year for the ePaper only. I wish the iTunes deal would work but it no longer does. I am not complaining about the apple rep who did everything possible to get my subscription to work to no avail. I am complaining about the agreement between iTunes and the DMN who will not recognize the commitment they made.

4. 2/5A new participant in e-paper on iPhone.

   I have really enjoyed reading the paper on my iPhone at four in the morning are used to read the paper every day on my phone or iPad. They change the app this week and it is not working well for me! when I cannot sleep. Two suggestions: 1 The “page jump” by number at the top of the screen should be to a page just in that section… Not a sequential overall page sequence of the paper! The latter is meaningless, where as the former would be very helpful. If you are in B section, and you enter the number six, it should take you to B6! 2 when you tap to open a certain article, it should include the whole article, including the part on another page. It seems to do this sometimes… So inconsistent. The e-paper has been a wonderful new discovery in my life! Thanks! PS thanks for fixing the section deficiency so quickly today! PS on Soduko, I loved the different shading of the 9-block sections you installed Monday. Now you have taken it away! No … go back!!!

5. 1/5New app is badly broken

   I’ve been reading the DMN e-edition daily for >10 years and have seen multiple revisions of the iPadOS version over this time. However, THIS new app is so bad, that I’m seriously considering cancelling my subscription (and I’ve been a subscriber to DMN for about 35 years). For one, it has a popup add on the top banner that has to be closed out when you first open the paper. Secondly, there’s an obtrusive banner at the top and navigation bar at the bottom that’s taking up much needed screen space. Thirdly, I can no longer scroll or swipe using my Logitech Combo Touch’s trackpad. In addition, you can no longer save full editions of the paper locally. I had almost a year’s worth of previous editions saved to my iPad and no way to access them. I had to delete the app and reinstall the app just to free up the storage space. Finally, the font-kerning is broken. You’ll see sentences at the bottom of some paragraphs were the font appears to be “squished.” How did this app get past testing and who signed off before releasing it?
