Usability flushes down the toilet

This app is gross to look at and miserable to use. The makers of this app have never used it to read the news or watched someone use it. It is hyper anxious to make me lose my place in the paper. Text on the web has no style in common with the ePaper. The Sunday COMICS are so pixelated, most of the text is unreadable, worse than a fax. And now ePaper articles get a blue box when you touch them wrong and it cuts off the words.

DDN New App Horrible

The new app is terrible. Now the content is unavailable. When it works, itโ€™โ€™s unstable and very hard to navigate through. Too many ads and the audio ads are irritating and canโ€™t be disabled. I need to know what is going on but this is frustrating. FIX IT!!!

Navigation to articles

New version lost ability to read by article. On Saturday only get a digital version so I would easily select a puzzle and print it. Cannot find a way to do this now.

Not clear what was reason for such a major change (no documentation or notification).

Sad decline

The app and website are unusable: the newest version of the app opens with a loud, animated ad for a video game โ€” what were they thinking? The ad canโ€™t be skipped, so the app is now useless to me and I am a paid subscriber! Of course, the app forgets logins so maybe DDN thinks I donโ€™t have a paid subscription? โ€ฆand whose fault is that?

The website is incompatible with password managers, so I canโ€™t access my paid subscription content there either.

Itโ€™s really sad, heartbreaking really, to see the steady slow decline of Daytonโ€™s historic newspaper that now seems to have accelerated. So sadโ€ฆ

New digital version

Nearly unreadable now. It uses nearly half the screen to advertise the paper that I am ALREADY trying to read. Iโ€™ve called twice to complain and each time Iโ€™m told itโ€™s being fixed soon but that never happens. I just deleted the app and downloaded again to see if it was a problem with my device. No such luck. Get it together DDN
