### 4/5 — One thing could be better

*2025-04-03, version 9.16.1*

I am not liking having to log in over and over again

### 5/5 — Online news fits the bill!!

*2025-02-04, version 9.15.1*

The Daily Progress online gives me the local and state news I need. The sports section is top notch as well.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2023-03-21, version 9.1*

When opening the app, it often freezes even after restarting. Also, the app freezes when advancing a page, if you can even get that far into trying to read the paper.

### 1/5 — Would be nice, but …

*2022-09-01, version 8.13.3*

This would be nice and I pay for a subscription. However, I’ll probably drop the subscription soon. The app keeps forgetting my password so, too often, I can’t read an article when I want to.  Most frustrating.

### 1/5 — No longer loads stories

*2020-11-12, version 8.5*

Haven't been able to load articles for the past 2 months, just get an error message. I've tried contacting the app help several times but never got a response.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Support iPad

*2020-08-14, version 6.3*

iPhone app, but nothing for the iPad.  Weak.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2020-01-02, version 5.3*

This is impossible to use. Send someone over to Staunton to see how the News Leader app works. Am a full subscriber to the DP but use the so-called e-edition for my visually impaired husband. It’s basically worthless. Ads foisted on paid subscribers are a deal breaker as well. He gets stuck on the annoying opening ad and can’t close it. Navigating through an article is a nightmare. I realize these are tough times for print media but at over $500/year for a full subscription, I need something better.

### 1/5 — New ad screen makes this app worthless

*2019-12-22, version 5.3*

The app only carries portions of news. The new ad screen is intrusive and annoying, since I have a paid subscription. Also ads for NRA a little disturbing. Removing app.

### 1/5 — Full Screen Adds Very Annoying

*2019-12-11, version 5.3*

2019-12-10:
The ad problem has gotten even worse! When I opened the Daily Progress app this evening to read the latest news (for which we PAY an annual subscription), I was presented with a full screen video ad (apparently promoting some sort of video game and depicting a cartoon woman evidently only wearing a towel and getting ready to take a shower). This is completely unacceptable! Remove these offensive and annoying full screen ads!

Previous Review:
The latest version of the Daily Progress app has introduced full screen ads that pop up when trying to view a news article. The ads have a tiny x in the top left corner that you have to click to close it and view the article. We’re already paying to subscribe to this newspaper. We shouldn’t be bombarded with super shooting ads like this.

The app also doesn’t remember that I am logged in and keeps requiring me to sign in for EVERY article even though moments before I signed in to view a different article.

### 1/5 — Are You Kidding?

*2019-12-10, version 5.3*

The ads now popping up on Version 5.3 are unbelievable and unacceptable. Fix this ASAP or you will be on the TV news being ridiculed for your poor taste.
