D&C

Great job with the D&C.. read it every morning

Pretty Good, Could Be Better

Not what it once was, but glad it’s still here. The local “investigative” stories, in all sections of the paper, are what make it worthwhile.
Yes, the most up-to-date stories are 1.5-2 days old, but often contain more info that has been fleshed-out since the “headline” broke.
Other than that, experienced human proofreaders are desperately needed! It’s way too often that words/phrases get mucked-up because AI isn’t good enough and the stories from many other sources aren’t much better.

But I still enjoy reading the paper, albeit online.

Excellent Daily Experience

Now,that I’m retired,reading the daily newspaper has become my favorite part of the day! The absolute breeze of navigating through the pages,couldn’t get any easier. I love clicking on an article,to bring it up on my tablet screen. A quick x,and I’m back to the paper.
The added bonuses,too,make subscribing a NO BRAINER! I can read the USA Today,and multiple editions,from other states and cities. In my opinion,don’t change a thing. One last thing,Tracy Schumacher’s food/restaurant updates have a huge impact,in my weekly dining adventures. Thanks for everything…

Easy to read and like the alerts

The Sad Descent of Local Journalism

Less local news, and so many typographical errors. Who is doing the proofreading? I realize there are fewer people reading, and stretched budgets mean less time and money. But as the quality of local journalism goes down, fewer people are going to subscribe.

Worst news app ever

Can’t find diddly squat when I go into this app.

Terrible- some days excellent -others ?

More news,

Still Enjoy The D&C

I moved from Fairport to Charleston, SC five years ago and still subscribe. The Post & Courier newspaper in CHS is terrible, just repeats of the televised news.

Still enjoying The D&C

Very convenient and easy to navigate the page. Easy to search past articles too. Gotta LUV The D&C…Never miss a days edition 👍

Thank you to the D&C!

I’m grateful for the D&C’s coverage of local and general news and their in-depth articles on the climate, etc. Imaging losing this news source makes me even more grateful that Rochester still has a local newspaper. I do however miss arts coverage!

Newspaper freezes up

Frequently while reading newspaper using the app, it freezes and have to come back to it later, reopen the app and continue reading. Very annoying. Requested fix from publisher many times with no response.

Garbage

Constantly have to re-enter info to confirm I am a paid subscriber. Today I am unable to get the e-edition which is the only user friendly option

Great digital newspaper

Great newspaper

Good paper

Love that digital paper is set up exactly way print is.

Rochester D&C

Although the newspaper has “day late” news, I enjoy reading about the details and facts that are often left out of newscasts. Room for improvement is with titles for the news pieces, as they are often VERY misleading and the placement of said facts: they are at the end of the article after a very opinionated bunch of “coulds, mights…and according to…(who is rarely reputable or has done a survey of more than 300 people).

Totally annoying

I used the “Digital Print” app for years. Lately it was freezing up forcing reboot of my ipad. In frustration I deleted the app to do a reinstall. Can’t even find the digital print app on the App Store now. Got this and hate it. Thanks D&C.

Great Read

The D&C has always a great paper and a great read. Great to see that it continues to be so

DC Review

Do not like the political favoritism that this paper demonstrates.

Love it!

Very nice

Complaint

I hate the new version of the D&C. I no longer get the new in full screen. Why did you change the format!?
