### 5/5 — Desert Sun Digital version

*2023-05-29*

Easy to navigate to desired page. Love that I can easily pick up on an article that I left off with! No more excess recycling! It’s there when I’m ready! I can also look back on previous papers. The font can be enlarged! Yes it offers crossword puzzles too, including adds. No hassles of temporary stopping papers due to going out of town. Love reading the comics for a good laugh! Everyone needs that once in a while! If need be, customers can cancel anytime. Glad I took out the subscription!

### 5/5 — Chicago Native

*2023-05-12*

We subscribed to the Desert Sun e-news this past winter during our first full winter in the desert.  We Enjoy the fine reporting on local issues, also the national coverage which seems to come from  news outlet (USA Today?).  Great sports coverage!

### 5/5 — Digital edition is one to love

*2023-03-15*

Easy to navigate and read. Love the whole article is available without moving to other pages. Like having no paper to throw away.

### 5/5 — Easy to keep up on the local news

*2023-03-06*

Thanks for making it so easy to keep up with the goings on in the Coachella Valley. It’s my favorite place in the world and I hope to live there soon.

### 5/5 — Grateful for the Desert Sun

*2023-01-31, version 3.7.16*

We live 6 months in California and we are residents of California. 6 Months in Minnesota. With Desert App we can stay tuned in to what’s going on in California.  While in California we VERY MUCH enjoy going out to get the paper and reading it vs the App.   

Thank you for providing both options for the Snowbirds!

### 4/5 — Thanks for virtual paper

*2022-12-04, version 3.6.13*

Enjoy the website. Much better than having paper all over

### 5/5 — Great way to get the local news

*2022-11-27, version 3.6.13*

This app works great on my iPad.  I like that I can read the paper like a print paper.  My favorite feature is that you can hop back and forth when I story is continued on additional pages.

### 5/5 — Consistent and dependable

*2022-11-25, version 3.6.13*

The digital Desert Sun works really well on my phone, and it is easy to use.

### 4/5 — Support local newspapers

*2022-11-20, version 3.6.13*

Having lived in Palm Springs for 20 years I have seen improvements in The Desert Sun under Julie M tenure.  Better in-depth research articles ( Salton, Sea, proposed lithium plants, immigration at border, etc).   Love the added staff diversity.  I like the staff diversity.  

My one beef, I was able to send an occasional article to a friend.  That capability now seems disabled.  

Thank you for asking!

### 4/5 — Desert Sun. My only question is why they save 10 editions when I ask for the minimum of 3.

*2022-11-20, version 3.6.13*

Also why do they ask me to sign in multiple times and to pick out stop lights etc. which is a nuisance!
