Ok, when it works...just don't expect it to work
I have been using this app for almost a year and have provided feedback on multiple occasions. As my concerns have never been addressed...
Issues - sign in loop. For no apparent reason, application will prompt user to authentic. Upon authentication, application with prompt again and again and again.
Rendering of content looks fine in page view, but double-tap an article and rendering results in words spelled wrong, strange hyphenation, often sentences are garbled.Show lessCinRedMAN
Login inapplicable
I had no problems with the DDN site until the computers decided I needed to log in. What a disaster!
First, it is not clear just where you are logging in -- through iTunes or through a proprietary DDN site. I called the customer service number, and on the third try was connected to a guy who directed me to an iTunes,login area.
Dutifully logging in through iTunes, however, did not work, so the guy sent me a link to the DDN website (which I could have easily gone to by myself) which connected me to the premium version of the paper. I could read the first and sometimes the second paragraph of the story before running into the pay wall.
And here I thought I'd already paid, for the electronic version of the paper!
I like the app version and don't want the hassle of dealing with the actual paper of a full subscription, but I'm feeling awfully locked out by a confusing and seemingly irrational login system. Please, DDN, fix this, the sooner the better.Show lessSteve Beard
App works fine
The app works fine as expected. To read the electronic version of today's paper you must subscribe to the paper version. Fair enough, I subscribed to the hardcopy Sunday newspaper.
A few annoying things: the electronic today version not always shows on the same day and sometime the app challenges you for username/password again and sometime caught in a loop. The only to get around the looping issue is to delete the app and reinstall it back.
A few good things: the electronic version of today's paper works great just like you would flipping through a hardcopy, you can also view previous days of the newspaper and the customer support is knowledgeable and friendly.Show lessTranfairborn
