### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-03-03*

Be well, do good work, and keep in touch. I tried to cancel my Arizona Republic subscription and lost yours a while back. I have to cancel my Az Republic subscription but don’t want to lose the Register. Help.

### 5/5 — Better than the paper paper

*2023-01-07, version 3.6.13*

As a Des Moines Register paperboy over 50 years ago I dreamed of different ways of delivering the paper, especially during the cold, dark, winter mornings.  One idea was a pneumatic tube to each house and the other was an air powered gun that would launch the papers to the house from a passing car.  I never imagined an e-paper.  This is even better!

### 5/5 — Easy To Use

*2022-12-28, version 3.6.13*

Keeping up with Iowa news from California.

### 4/5 — More local coverage

*2022-12-25, version 3.6.13*

Need more local content. Seems that it takes 5-10 minutes to get through most of the front and metro sections. So much going on in this area but very little reporting. Take the Dam to DSM run for instance. Several thousand runners but very little coverage. Take a look at how the Duluth News and Tribune covers their big run, Grandma’s Marathon…..several days of coverage about the run and the people in it and then a huge section after the run.

### 5/5 — Finally figuring out how to navigate, but love it.

*2022-12-11, version 3.6.13*

I would still prefer a Sunday Delivered Register in Coralville, but this is a fine second option.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-11-12, version 3.6.13*

This is a great app. It comes in handy if the newspaper is late and if you want to go back and look for an article in an old edition. To get five stars, consider to give the option to remember login info (at least user name)

### 5/5 — Great Newspaper

*2022-10-07, version 3.6.13*

I start every single day with the DM Register.  It is a reliable and user friendly app. And of course the DM Register itself is a reliable and quality newspaper.

### 4/5 — Des Moines Register

*2022-10-03, version 3.6.13*

App works well except when enlarging the page it often shifts into a half screen format which can’t be changed. It seems related to the arrows that turn the page and continues despite turning pages.

### 5/5 — Excellent newspaper!

*2022-09-30, version 3.6.13*

I love being able to read my paper on a daily basis.   And the best part is not having to worry about digging out the actual paper from the snow piles in the winter.

### 3/5 — Not any particular item - the entire paper

*2022-09-25, version 3.6.13*

The screens go in and out making it very difficult to read an article satisfactorily.  Also jump around a lot.  What causes this?  It is very frustrating!
