Great paper
The Register is still one of the finest papers I have ever read. I subscribe to the “e” version and find it easy to navigate and read. The reporting is very balanced, which I’m sure is difficult in a red state.
App needs to maintain a history!
I am an employee here, so there’s your five stars. This, however, is not a five-star app.
My biggest issue (aside from the only sections being news, sports and business — no education? Politics??) is that the app maintains no history. If I close out of a story I’m reading, I will need to go fishing for it later if I want to finish it (unless I saved it, but I’m not going to remember to do that if I need to attend to something quickly).
And as I noted, stories are hard to find because of the app’s lacking organization. It’s maddening for the user experience.

Great paper
Register is a great paper!
THE NUMBER OF ADS RIDICULOUS
I’m a paying subscriber and the amount of ads I have to scroll through in any story is nearly as much screen space as the news content. Incredibly infuriating and insulting.
Easy to read.
Writing is right on, most of the time. you announced that there was a nw university in northern Iowa coverage person. UNI deserves to have as many stories as the other two state universities. It’s been like that since I entered the university northern Iowa as a freshman in 1968.
Nearly every day you have a off-season story of Iowa and Iowa State basketball or football. It would be nice to see some stories of UNI personnel.
To improve the comic section, introduce “Tumbleweeds” and bring back “Get Fuzzy” to the audience.
Thank you for this opportunity.

We need this news source
Good investigative reporting and coverage of local and Iowa news
The Best
I start my day with the excellent work of the journalists at the Des Moines Register. Great work guys.
Unimpressed
I really don’t need to see “All ISU, all the time”.

Great read!
It sucks
This clunky app sucks.
Too many ads, too many pop ups
Just started trial subscription. More time searching for news content than reading stories. Ads veiled as feature content. Videos requiring you to view 2 or 3 ads prior to the news video. Need to do better.
A tired newspaper in many ways!
I have subscribed to this newspaper since the early 1980’s when it was a shining star of journalism and a champion of customer service. Over the years, high quality journalists left due to lower pay, higher demands and a lack of strong vision. Customer service is absolutely non-existant, phone calls and emails reaching out for help are completely ignored. Promises of refunds for missing deliveries never are reflected on our billing. Calls about missing and/or poor delivery service are ignored. We cancelled our subscription and heard not a word from the newspaper Iowa used to depend on. Very sad.

Great newspaper
Robust source of information prepared by professional journalists.
DSM Register App
This app is the worse app I’ve ever used!
This is bad
I liked it when I could see the front page of the paper when I hit the Register app and then I could scroll through the entire paper and click on what I wanted to read. Now all I get is a page saying I need to subscribe even though I am paying a monthly bill. I try to speak with someone about help and I don’t get anyone. If I don’t get a response from this I will just cancel my subscription.

Doesn’t work well for paid subscribers
Subscribers can’t get into articles even if they are paid subscribers. Very frustrating!!
Best local news
I can always count on the Register to have the latest news. It’s updated throughout the day and does a great job covering news, sports, weather plus national topics with more content.
Useless
I am a subscriber who lives half the year overseas. I am unable to login and access content - login is not available in the European Union. The help desk has been completely useless.
