Click bait disguised as news stories
I’m disappointed in this app and the compromises made to make it profitable. I got the paid app to avoid all the ads. However, the paid app just means I can see more stories.
I understand the economics of maintaining an app but that doesn’t justify allowing ads to look Ike news stories, intermingled throughout, making me weary to click to open a story. The ad” notice is in small white font and due to placement, appears as a news valid story. Click bait is a disgrace to long standing of the dispatch as a trusted news resource.Show lessI am satisfied except politically
I love the app and read the Dispatch every day. I am able to do that because I am retired. The only thing that bugs me is the rather obvious liberal, Democratic slant especially in the headline put on articles. Sometimes the headline of the article seems more liberal than the actual content of the article. I suspect that’s because it helps the Dispatch sell more newspapers because most readers are not retired.Show lessFrequent issues
When our carrier retired delivery of the paper Dispatch became unreliable so we now use the online version exclusively. Unfortunately, it often fails to load or asks me to repeatedly sign in on the same device I’ve now been using for 2 years. It’s also slow to load and difficult to save and read offline/ onboard when traveling.Show less
