### 5/5 — News

*2026-01-03*

Very nice to be able to read the local news

### 1/5 — New digital version

*2023-09-23*

This new digital version is cumbersome, visually unappealing and not user friendly.  The Wall Street Journal recently adopted this same digital format and after complaints from subscribers it offered them the option to revert to the prior version.  Aberdeen News/Gannett should do the same.

### 5/5 — News

*2023-08-12*

Very nice to be able to read the local news

### 1/5 — Where is the paper?

*2022-12-13*

I enjoy the paper that has always looked like my old newspaper sections. It makes me believe that I am reading the paper that I have read for years. Today it has reverted back to getting all the news in one continuous section. Please return to the original format. I do not like the one that appeared this morning on my device.

### 1/5 — Terrible format

*2022-04-04*

I just want to read the paper like a paper not in a series of sections
Terrible format!!

### 4/5 — Need

*2021-08-18*

Good.

### 1/5 — Problems that done end

*2021-08-02*

I’m paying for a paper that I can’t log into. I talked to a tech and went over some things and still it keeps asking if I want to purchase the subscription. Very aggravating. I looked and the monthly fee was taken out of my account.
