### 1/5 — Earlier app works without ads

*2026-08-14, version 8.10.2*

I have an app on my iPhone that states printed addition that works perfectly, this one freezes and goes to a dark page with an advertisement then might jump back to the beginning. Won’t load most of the time if you don’t clear your browser.

### 5/5 — Journalism never more vital

*2026-06-28, version 8.10.2*

Local reports with factual content are so important in today’s world of untethered observations that may or may not have any basis in reality. 
Overall, the 4th estate is critical to democracy, and the printed word continues to be more reliable and in-depth than the electronic media, much less the cotton candy known as social media.
 The cost of excellence in journalism via a newspaper subscription is an investment in our ideals as a nation, and without it, the dumbing down continues. And that’s even when the daily news annoys us or the paper seems thin.

### 4/5 — Please!!  TD can be so much better!!

*2026-06-22, version 8.10.2*

TD inserts the most ridiculously inappropriate photos into its news stories that are often shockingly absurd.  No photo is better than a wildly screwy one that has no relevance to the story.

Also, some stories are left up way too long after the whole universe has shifted.  Many times it’s not just yesterday’s news, it’s last week’s.

We should be able to count on TD for instant coverage of at least the very local news, but are often having to look for another news source.

On the other hand, TD is the first place I go for news in the morning.  I just want it to be better.

### 3/5 — Tallahassee Local & National News

*2026-05-09, version 8.9.0*

Best coverage of local area news around.
In depth reporting Radio and TV cannot match.

### 1/5 — Problems

*2026-05-07, version 8.9.0*

Needs Fixing. App eon't open if it does it immediately shuts down or freezes. Has not worked for a long time.

### 5/5 — Amazed!

*2026-05-03, version 8.9.0*

Having just had cataract surgery with a new lens implant on my second eye I still am having trouble reading our printed paper. Reading it on my eye phone where I can adjust the font is great, & I hadn't realized there is more of some content, such as Zings!

### 5/5 — News

*2026-03-31, version 8.9.0*

Good job with local and international news.

### 5/5 — Terrific way to read the paper as an adjunct to the printed version.

*2026-03-31, version 8.9.0*

This is of course the exact same version as the delivered daily paper. Both have their strong advantages, but insofar as an app goes, this one is easy to navigate, display and archive. It really is terrific!

### 3/5 — Old News

*2026-03-21, version 8.9.0*

If you want to read about what was reported on other local news outlets in Tallahassee 3 days ago, the Democrat is for you.

### 5/5 — Almost

*2026-02-01, version 8.6.0*

Years ago as a grad student, I recall the Democrat as an afternoon paper.  I have always desired to be aware of the world’s happenings . 
I reluctantly gave up the physical paper and appreciate the eNewspaper looking like my old friend.  A touch of the world along with the state and opportunities nearby.   For a bit more, Thanks for the USA Today being available .
