  • Easy to read

    I wasnโ€™t sure if this would work but a lot of thought has been put into this app and how it works. Very user friendly to get around the paper. Give it a chance please. Change is hard for some but we have to have the printed news for well rounded reporting.
  • Crisp and clear, easy peasy

    Surprised at how realistic the online newspaper is! Easier on these old eyes than the print version (although we will miss it so!). So far app seems easy to use, pretty straightforward to maneuver around. The only issue I've had so far is that it flips to next page a little too easily, if my finger hovers a bit over the screen. Having gotten used to reading AROnline while traveling, we will make good use of this app.

  • ITโ€™S G-R-E-A-T

    Real skeptical at first - no more. No more day late sports, wet paper, or recycle to hassle with. Love the capabilities to enlarge print, pics and comics; connect with appropriate links, and, best of all, access anytime, anywhere. Going to be gone a month and iโ€™ll have the best paper in the country if not the world with me!

  • Love this app

    The DemGaz has done an really good job with their app. Iโ€™ve been a daily user for approximately 8 years and the app has progressed to the point it is nearly flawless. I love not having to climb my drive to get the paper, worry about whether or not the paper has been delivered, dry out the paper if it gets wet, throw away all the old papers, etc...

    There arenโ€™t many apps I use every day but this is one of them. Thanks, DemGaz.

  • Thank you, Walter Huffman

    After reading the letter published from Walter Huffman on the future of the newspaper, we decided to try it as an every day activity. We discovered that we like it much more than paper form. The images are amazing and we get enhanced coverage. After only a few days of trying it, we called and switched to digital only.

  • Still canโ€™t log in

    I checked with customer service to make sure I was using the correct log in credentials. They sent me an email confirming my correct user Iโ€™d and password, but when I use these credentials to log into the Arkansas Online app on my iPad, I receive this error message...

    Service Error
    Invalid User Name or Password

    I contacted customer service and they responded:
    please try one more time and let me know if it happens now. I believe I fixed the error, but I would like for you to double check for me.

    Thank you,

    Samantha Yearber
    Customer Service

    I tried again, same error so I responded the message above and told Ms. Yearber I still couldnโ€™t sign in. I waited over 24 hours for a response. Having received none I again reached out to this same agent who responded, โ€œI am escalating this internally, to see what the error is and get it fixed as soon as possible.

    That was more than 10 days ago and I still havenโ€™t received a response. Itโ€™s all very disappointing.

  • Same news different format

    I enjoy the feel of a printed newspaper but news is news. The electronic version is very handy when I travel. I don't have to wait until I get home to read my state newspaper. It's right here on my iPad whether I'm in Arkansas or Timbuktu and the e-Paper is easy to navigate.
  • Commitment to news

    As a former gazette bureau chief in Pine Bluff, I battled the Democrat every day. When Hussman won the newspaper war over the hapless gannet I figured that was it for the Democrat. And hussman has cut staff but not as drastically as he could have. he kept some very good reporters I donโ€™t know his finances and of course these are the worst of times for newspapers, but even though he reduced the staff he did not strip it down to the bones as other outfits might haveโ€”as gate house media seems to do with every paper it touches.

  • How to enjoy the Democrat Gazette

    Each morning of this freezing Kansas winter I get out of bed around seven thirty or eight. I make my coffee, and while it makes I start a fire in our wood stove. I pick up my iPad, pour a cup of coffee, sit down in my catnapper with my feet close to the stove and open my iPad to the new edition of the Democrat Gazette.

    I met my wife while attending a military school at Camp Robinson. She lived in Broadmoor at the time. I became familiar with Little Rock and enjoyed reading the Gazette every day I was there. The Arkansas Section is the best. These many years later (still married) I sit in the middle of the Kansas prairie and imagine the traffic on I 630, or the sound of the blue jays at Maumelle State Park, or the smell of Arkansas (wet wood, wood smoke and trees). I hear the traffic on Cantrell, taste Shipley donuts from the donut shop, hear the sound of running water from Rock Creek. I watch the barges going up and down the Arkansas River, I see the bright yellow street cars downtown, I see that railroad bridge at the Clinton Center.

    I get all of this when I read my daily Democrat Gazette. I wouldnโ€™t want to live life without it. Thanks for the good times.

  • Functions well

    I downloaded this app for my iPad and iPhone about three weeks ago. So far it works well without a single glitch. Even when Iโ€™m out of town, I can keep up with the news. I never have to be concerned with late delivery, and it most certainly beats accumulating a large stack of papers.
