### 5/5 — Great digital newspaper.

*2026-08-04, version 8.1.1*

I have had this news paper since moving to NWA many years ago. Originally it was the paper version and then I transitioned to the digital when it became available.

I sill get the Sunday addition in paper because I still enjoy sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and flipping through the news.

The tablet they provide for a daily digital copy is an HP and excellent quality. It is easy to follow an article through multiple pages and then back to where you started. 

In this day and age it just makes sense to keep up with the times and enjoy the electronic newspaper.

### 1/5 — On access

*2026-07-13, version 8.1.1*

Had access till the spit with the Arkansas Democrat Little Rock

### 4/5 — Good job

*2026-07-12, version 8.1.1*

Needs to be available 100 o/o.

### 5/5 — Love digital

*2026-06-15, version 8.1.1*

Oh, I thought I would hate not having a Newspaper in my hand and turning the pages one at a time! It took a short period to adjust, but now I would never go back to paper. 
If I get up early, the paper is always right at my fingertip. If I don’t finish the paper, I can easily take it with me anywhere I go.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-03-28, version 8.1.1*

I am letting you know that ideally enjoy the NWA Democrart Gazette-paper on the Ipad. I do, however, miss the newspaper in print on actual paper. I wish the daily could be available to the home subscriber. Keep up the good work. Love all the articles! Sincerely, Rebecca McClellan

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2026-03-15, version 8.1.1*

Don’t have to wait for the printing, I can read the story as soon as it is written.

### 3/5 — Printing Puzzles

*2026-02-26, version 8.1.1*

My wife and I enjoy printing the word puzzles and sudoku daily, and look past the biased national and world coverage of stories by the Associated Press.  The DG Editorial Page seemingly picks issues where it knows so little that it reads more like a plea for help than a reasoned opinion.  The NW ARK is the saving value of the paper, along with later deadlines afforded an online version.

### 1/5 — Search

*2026-02-24, version 8.1.1*

How can a newspaper app survive without a search option?!

### 5/5 — iPad

*2026-02-20, version 8.1.1*

I still have yet to receive my iPad for my suspicion

### 3/5 — Dem/Gazztt Website

*2026-02-18, version 8.1.1*

Can not log into my account?….
