Offline Reading:
This feature allows users to enable offline reading from Settings. Offline “Reading Preferences” can also be customized for Settings. 

Swipe Left:
Instead of going back to the main section to find more articles, users have the option to simply swipe, immediately opening other articles in the Section.

Follow Topics:
A user will be shown articles on topics they are following. To follow select “follow” at the article level and related articles will gain relevancy and be shown more frequently. Just as easily “Unfollow”

### 1/5 — On line paper

*2026-03-12*

Your online paper is horrible. I suggest you figure out what the WSJ and even The Garden Isle papers are doing. Theirs are much better and user friendly.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback on the eNewspaper. We are working on upgrades that we believe will improve the user experience and they will be coming in the next few months.

### 1/5 — On line tab needs a ‘how to use’ instructions.

*2025-11-23*

Not a friendly access to newspaper articles.  Example.: you have a heading called sections…. but when you click on it, there’s nothing there ?
The names of the articles articles are sometimes not the same as in the paper, so it’s difficult to find the article? Can’t print articles.  The old version is much easier….

### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel!

*2024-05-30*

Trying to cancel the subscription since February, the reports are mediocre. Cancellation request with all details was emailed. They keep sending many many fishing mails and if you don't respond to their offers, since cancellation was requested in the first place, they keep changing!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-08-12, version 7.6.0*

Now that you are moving behind a pay wall, I am deleting this app. Too many ads in the first place and hard to find news on the app.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-08-04*

I’m so proud to support my local paper by subscribing to their news content. In a world where our local papers are becoming extinct, we need to pay for this wealth of knowledge. The app is easy to use, I don’t experience any issues with ads since I have the unlimited access with no ads subscription service. Great and easy to use!

### 1/5 — U/I needs some help!

*2019-01-23*

The content is great but the U/I often makes it so difficult to access it... I end up going elsewhere for my local news! Almost every time someone sends me a link to a DB story, the app says I cannot access it because I have already reached my max number of articles! PLEASE SORT OUT THE U/I ISSUES so we can enjoy the amazing content!

### 1/5 — Restricts number of views

*2018-06-18, version 7.3.2*

I received a notification that I have maxxed out the number of pages for the month. I therefore see no use in the Daily Breeze app. Bye bye

### 1/5 — Fail

*2018-06-15, version 7.3.2*

Won’t open on my iPhone 7. Wheel just keeps on spinning.

### 1/5 — Ouch

*2018-03-02, version 7.2.16*

I absolutely hate the new feature of having an advertisement pop up every 30 seconds. It makes it impossible to use the app. I’ll check back in a few months to see if it becomes useful again or it goes into the electronic trash can.

### 1/5 — Not-So-Breaking-News

*2017-01-08, version 7.0.0023*

Great if you want the "latest" Sports news from a month ago!
