Yes

Great comics pages

I enjoy the Dispatch and especially the comic pages.

iPad freezes

I get n
Two thirds to 3/4 a way through the issue and my iPad freezes.

great app

i love the easy download when it’s working.

Great paper

While, I think it is a great paper, I do not appreciate ads popping up when I already paid for it the app.

NOT Fair and balanced

If you’re looking for a news source (local or National) to support your liberal views….while not even attempting to have shared/balanced news, the Columbus Dispatch and the Gannett Media family of publications is for you. Shameful!!

Once great paper

The Columbus Dispatch, a once great newspaper,is now too left leaning to be enjoyed. In addition, sports news is a day late on all local sports teams. Actually I’m not certain why I still subscribe to same.

Too many ads

I pay for a subscription yet get constant pop up ads.

Stop the Pop up marketing

Why do we get Pop Up Marketing with a paid subscription! If I wanted more email from you I would subscribe to it! STOP THE POP UP MARKETING!!

Miserable experience

You are forced to view ads promoting all sorts of
“dispatch “ ads promoting the Dispatch which you already subscribe to. And you have to wait for a while to be able to click off them!…

Enjoying the paper

Our Dispatch writers are great. I have enjoyed the spotlight on each of the reporters.

Great six days a week

Not a big fan of a lot. Of the Sunday features. Am happy with the USA Today sections.

Extremely frustrating because I cannot use the app. It doesn’t let me anymore.

A few months ago I signed up for business dispatch, digital annual subscription for $19.99 but now, for some reason, I cannot use the app at all and I don’t understand why because it says that I can subscribe and it says that the subscription will be good for like an entire another year into 2027 so not ideal but if it works it’s a good app but I haven’t had a problem ever since subscribing months and months ago

Review

The news is very dated & biased on the liberal side

Restore iTunes subscription not working

I don’t read the dispatch regularly but I subscribe bc it my hometown newspaper. Haven’t been able to get my iTunes subscription to the paper to work for about a month now. I will be canceling my renewal because I don’t have time to mess with it. I’ve tried deleting the app and adding it back and rebooting my phone. I’ve also tried on multiple devices.

I pay 69.99 yr but my phone asks me each time to reenter email and password in order go to read article. Please help!

All the news you need easy

Great way to keep up with the important latest news.

Local News Everywhere

I really enjoy my Dispatch e-edition ! It allows me to keep up-to-date on my Buckeyes and local news !

Digital version needs an engine upgrade

I am constantly frustrated with the digital edition. Please upgrade your engine to something more akin to what the Wall Street Journal uses.

Great comics pages

I enjoy the Dispatch and especially the comic pages.
