It’s like swatting a swarm of mosquitoes. ### 1/5 — Responsible for their own demise *2021-02-08* App used to be great. Easy to navigate. Great for local news. Then pop up ads came. Fine. Par for the course. Now you have to pay for content. I guess the ads weren’t cutting it. I feel like the Facts is scrambling to find a revenue generator that works, but sadly I feel like they are only shooting themselves in the foot by not balancing it with the effect it has on their readers. Killing their own business. I will no longer be using this app. Plenty of news out there supported by ad revenue and that doesn’t charge readers directly. ### 1/5 — Inane ads and no search? *2019-03-02* I find it hard to believe it even though I paid for a print subscription, the online version doesn’t seem to have a search function and frequently pops up on skippable video ads to boot. ### 1/5 — Not that great *2016-07-30* When you buy a newspaper that serves a community, you have a responsibility to serve the community. This app, and the paper in general, is failing to do so. The newest stories in Breaking Stories are from four months ago. The calendar section is inadequate. The app is hard to navigate. There are way too many articles from Los Angeles, where the new owners are based, and fewer from Redlands since the paper was sold. The ads are too hard to avoid clicking on. I live in Redlands and recently changed to the digital edition of this paper on weekdays. I'm sorry I did. I'm actually paying for access to this digital paper. The app managers need to do a better job. ### 1/5 — Operations Manager *2013-07-04* You have everything set up but as a new comer to Redlands, I want be be involved in my community but everything you post has already happened. There isn't even anything on what to do on the 4th of July, it's a shame. ### 1/5 — No stories *2013-02-23* I wanna read the full story, not the headline. At least include an URL address to follow. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2013-02-04* Only get a few lines from story. Too bad. Have to go back to Internet to get full story. They'll ask you to download APP. "Don't do it!" ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2020-03-04* Took app off phone. Too many ads on both paid and free versions. Not worth the effort. ### 2/5 — more of the same *2017-03-19* I was hoping this app would have local news stories, like the print version. I found mostly general news that is available on way too many other news apps and outlets. Disappointed to see the sad slow death of journalism has come to Redlands. ### 2/5 — Crashes everytime!! *2014-06-07* I have an iPhone 4s with Verizon and this app crashes on me everytime I click on a story that I want to read. Makes me really aggravated. Please fix. Will the creator of this app contact me and tell me how I can resolve this issue please? Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 3/5 — The new RDF *2025-08-09* I’m so disappointed using the latest version of the Redlands Daily Facts. When selecting the option to read the newspaper, the paper is displayed in a much smaller format than hold version. It’s way too small. I hope you keep both versions around. Or, maybe fix the new one ### 2/5 — Little local news *2013-09-13* I downloaded this app because I thought it would provide me with more local Redlands area news, but am disappointed to find that it does not. And the numerous spelling errors are noticeable, apparently whoever edits this version relies on spellcheck rather than proof reading. ### 2/5 — Articles *2013-04-19* This app does not have the current articles that are in the iPad or paper version. Missing a lot of local coverage especially in local prep sports. ### 2/5 — Not all there *2013-01-06* So this is the new app for The Facts and I'm not too thrilled. All of the local stories are only a paragraph long so I never get the entire story. The last app was 1,000,000x better! Someone needs to fix this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
