### 1/5 — Worst App of the year!

*2021-05-19, version 7.6.0*

Supposed to be a free app. Now Dig Deeper is trying to gouge the readers. Forget this newspaper.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2021-04-20, version 7.5.9*

Recently the paper is not showing like it did previously. When going into sections, you can not see the whole paper any more. What’s going on?

### 3/5 — Bill payment

*2021-04-18*

The bill payment option is very poor. Does not open and is hard to find. The app needs to have a section for Bill payment

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2019-12-03, version 7.4.2*

All this app is about is pushing advertisements on to the folks who have paid for news. I am sick of it and will probably cancel my Delaware County Daily Times subscription.  Very little Delco news anyway

### 1/5 — Rotten

*2019-11-07, version 7.4.0*

The app doesn’t even load anymore.  Just fold your tent and declare bankruptcy.

### 1/5 — One of the worst news apps ever

*2019-07-12, version 7.3.13*

Frustrating to use. Navigation is slow. Hard to find sections/stories that appear in the print edition. Tiny type impedes readability.

### 3/5 — Del. Daily times

*2019-02-26, version 7.3.11*

Why don’t you show the whole edition?  You never show obituary, comments!

### 1/5 — Does not update

*2018-08-27, version 7.3.2*

The app does not update anymore. It still shows the news from four days ago.

### 1/5 — Not a fan.

*2017-07-10, version 7.2.0*

Text is way too small.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2017-07-09*

This app is very frustrating. It needs a search feature that will find articles you want to read. The font size adjustability is a joke!  It can be super small or slightly less super small. If I spent more time with this app, maybe I would find something nice to say-- but until these things are fixed, I don't have enough patience to stick around.

### 2/5 — Difficult to see

*2017-04-27, version 7.1.7*

The articles are written in grey on white background making it very strenuous to see.  I recommend changing it all to black.

### 1/5 — Horrible. Deleted, this update ruined it for me.

*2017-02-23, version 7.1.7*

Delco, Times-Herald both changed to this new format. Too hard to get information. Deleted app and Times-Herald also.

### 4/5 — Much better

*2017-02-18*

The update to this app is much better than what the old one had become.  I can actually read the articles now and the organizing makes sense.

### 1/5 — Redesign doesn't allow landscape viewing on iPad

*2016-12-22, version 7.0.0023*

Latest redesign doesn't allow landscape viewing on iPad. STUPID!!

### 1/5 — Crappy app

*2016-02-20, version 6.2.6150*

App is ok for a few days but you have to delete and download frequently, due to the app giving you an error message asking for your email and password, very frustrating when your trying to read the latest news.

### 1/5 — Still tells you to delete it and download new app

*2015-11-14, version 6.2.6150*

Even after you do that.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-07-18, version 6.2.68*

App sucked as it was and now they want you to have a subscription for this crap, ahhhhhhh Can you say DELETE 👎

### 1/5 — This app is terrible!!!

*2015-06-08, version 6.2.68*

The design is absolutely garbage. It looks like a high school kid with a learning disability created it. Also...could you please put in a few more ads in the app, I don't think there are enough already. Smh.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Sends stories u can’t read

*2026-08-19*

Sending to your screen many stories but you can only read one. If you intentionally send me 3 stories let me see 3.

### 1/5 — Proof read

*2023-11-21*

Does anyone proof read your stories. I couldn’t figure out why Linwood Fire Department was dispatched into Ridley. Then I read the suspect was from Linwood and put two and two together. Ok, I get it, mistakes are made, but seriously just checked your on line story and 24 hours later it’s still wrong! You can and use to do so much better.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-09-06, version 7.6.3*

Are you serious?

### 1/5 — Worse App

*2023-04-29, version 7.6.3*

Can never sign on

### 1/5 — worst news app, maybe the worst app ever

*2022-12-07, version 7.6.3*

Worst app ever... it might be the worst app in the App Store! It is definitely the worst news app. I’m happy to see they never updated the app. Still the worst app in the App Store jajaja

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2022-09-10, version 7.6.3*

Terrible app!  Really, this is the best they can do.

### 1/5 — waste of time app

*2022-09-08, version 7.6.3*

Entered the correct ID and password multiple times. Doesn't work. Sorry I wasted my time and money.

### 1/5 — DelCo Times App is awful

*2022-08-27, version 7.6.3*

This is a fairly useless app. Delete it and log in with your browser.

### 1/5 — NO SUPPORT !

*2021-07-26*

The Digital Copy button has disappeared !  Why do you keep changing the menu ?  And Tech Support is a joke !  You are suppose to email them, but they never email back !!!  How about  talking to a real live person ??? I do pay my subscription every 26 weeks.  Why can’t I ask a question and get a fix when I have a problem ?

### 1/5 — Old stale news

*2021-06-26, version 7.6.0*

I dislike this app with a passion!  The old app worked great and then you got this app. I agree with a lot of other people, if it’s not broke don’t fix it!

*2024-09-07*

Much more professional app in the last year. Nicely streamlined. But we need more local news coverage.  Find a way to hire more journalists.

### 5/5 — Log in for subscribers

*2019-04-18*

Where is that in the app? I keep getting kicked off while reading, then have to go in through email.

### 5/5 — Stay informed

Great way to stay informed.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2013-09-11, version 4.5.2.0*

Excellent app. But something is wrong it has not updated for the last 6 days

### 5/5 — Easy application

*2013-08-28*

Great application , up to date stories, the weather forecast is much better than others.

### 5/5 — Does it's job

*2013-08-03, version 4.4.0.0*

A simple news app.  Doesn't try anything overly complicated.

Simply does what it's meant to do.

### 5/5 — Ok app

*2013-07-19, version 4.4.0.0*

You guys just need to make all pictures available for each story like in the regular paper!!!! 
Buy it's still a good app...

### 5/5 — App

*2013-07-05*

This app is the best, and it's updated throughout the day instead of waiting until the next day to read the articles in the newspaper.

### 5/5 — Love the app/Give it 5 stars

*2013-06-29, version 4.4.0.0*

This is a very handy app to have because I can read the papers on the go. Love it!
