Dispatch Daily Newspaper

This app is a little clunky in that it updates but asks if you want to update. The news has mostly been on television yesterday or the day before. With the USA Today syndicate, there is news from other parts of the state which is not on television. They also have personal interest stories and ads. The free press keeps politicians honest by always being there and always asking questions.

Easier to maneuver to article. Full display of article

is a huge plus. Font and display easier to read Excellent coverage of here and now local news woven with national and international news when appropriate, and with β€œwhat can we do about it” articles.

Love the new Format

So easy to read the paper faster, with more clarity. The articles that I want to read I can expand to fit the whole page on my IPad.

Great App but …

We enjoy reading the Columbus Dispatch on our iPads, using the app. It’s easy to zoom in and out, navigate to sections or pages, or open articles in text view to email. Plus, you can access other editions (the Sarasota Herald-Tribune carries Carolyn Hax’s daily column!).

My only complaint is that every time I click on the app, it asks if I want to download the most recent edition. Very annoying! All our other news apps default automatically to the latest news. Please fix this!

Columbus Dispatch app is reliable

I read the Dispatch on the app daily and have never had an issue with a download or navigation through the β€˜paper’ - no matter how early I access it. I appreciate being able to read in the format of the printed page which is my chosen option in the app.
