Leave a Review Tallahassee Democrat
Democrat App is Great!
We moved from Tallahassee 13 years ago and have subscribed to the Tallahassee Democrat online ever since. The online version works fine, but their App is certainly the way to go! It’s easy to use, self-intuitive and helpful! Love it!Love the Democrat’s App
Can this app be any worse?
I’ve never used an app as atrocious as USA Today’s Tallahassee Democrat app. Initially, I was excited to learn I could use it to read past editions of the Democrat as well as USA Today’s papers from across the country. Now, I cannot access the papers from any state save Florida. Additionally, when using the app for the Democrat (as well as other Florida papers) the app gets “klunky.” I can tap to move from one story to another only to have the app not change to the new story. When I tap again, it will show an enlarged version of the new story and it takes another tap to reduce the size; often with the tap taking me back to the first story. Often, I can tap on a new story and it won’t even bring up the new story, or any other story on that page. Also, I’ve been using the app for several yers now and still haven’t been able to find how to increase/decrease the font size. It’s pretty clear a the folks at Gannett aren’t experts at app development, and as journalists I would not expect them to be. But I would expect those on the business side to have a better handle on choosing an app, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, either. Whoever the developer is that sold Gannett on this app clearly didn’t know what they were doing, either…Show lessLandmark54
