### 3/5 — Can’t find subscription help

*2026-07-27, version 8.10.2*

Didn’t get my actual paper today. Unable to find on app how to report delivery issue!

### 5/5 — Local news from a local newspaper

*2025-10-02, version 8.5.4*

I enjoy reading The Daily Advertiser with the eNewspaper app

### 1/5 — Cookie Cutter

*2025-08-23, version 8.1.0*

You post very little local, everything is cookie cutter.. You do have a University from Lafayette….UL write about them! How about your local high school teams you have very poor coverage then when you do cover them you charge extra! PATHETIC

### 3/5 — Can’t find subscription help

*2024-09-12, version 7.12.0*

Didn’t get my actual paper today. Unable to find on app how to report delivery issue!

### 2/5 — What happened to this publication?

*2024-08-26, version 7.11.2*

I used to enjoy reading all the stories about ULL and Lafayette in The Advertiser. Now most of the stories are about LSU and state issues.  The sports is particularly focused on LSU.  Isn’t this supposed to be a LOCAL publication, for the people of Acadiana?  There is definitely not enough local news or sports.

### 1/5 — Ease of use

*2024-03-08, version 7.6.1*

Unable to see pervious editions

### 5/5 — Small print

*2024-02-08, version 7.5.1*

I wish that the print would be a little larger

### 4/5 — Can’t find subscription help

*2024-02-06*

Didn’t get my actual paper today.  Unable to find on app how to report delivery issue!

### 5/5 — Daily Advertiser

*2023-08-25, version 7.1.2*

I love the online version of the Lafayette Daily Advertiser.  Keeps me up with our local and regional news and sports that I can access anytime and anywhere.

### 4/5 — All good but for one thing!

*2023-05-31, version 7.1.1*

I like reading our local news online (instead of watching on TV) because I can read what I choose after seeing the headlines! The only reason I am not giving our local newspaper 5 stars is because of the obituaries! I was born and raised here and I like to keep up with who has died! The obituary section is not easy to read and constantly throws me back to the main page. This is probably my error but it happens too easily. I know you don’t post all deaths probably because the cost is too high for some people or they don’t care to have them in there but if you would figure out some kind of way to organize it make it easier to go from one obituary to the other, etc….it would be helpful to me!
