### 2/5 — Wow. What happened?

*2026-04-14*

Just updated to the newest version and it’s terrible. Instead of loading screen-sized newspaper pages, it loads thumbnails you have to either manually expand or click on individual articles. Restore the former experience!!

### 4/5 — Wow, now works on an IPad in landscape mode

*2024-06-19*

Thanks for the fix guys!!!

### 1/5 — iPad issues

*2024-04-26*

This app is not iPad friendly.  It only works in portrait mode and most of us use iPads with keypads in a landscape mode.  I emailed the developer and they basically said “too bad for you”.
Every other iPad app I have works in the landscape mode.  
Similar to the content in the Camera, you have to turn left to read it.

### 1/5 — No luck

*2023-12-29*

I can’t open the link to an active window.  I tried too many times and give up.  We’re dropping the paper.

### 4/5 — Hometown paper

*2023-12-10*

With local news sources closing across the country, I’m happy to be able to read about my home town every day.

### 1/5 — Do better

*2023-10-29*

Just signed up for the Camera. If I knew how bad this app was I would of never done it. A lot of scrolling back and forth to read articles. There must be something better out there.

### 2/5 — Daily Camera app has paywall, your browser does not

*2023-08-09*

Why download an app that has a paywall when you can read the same lame local news reports (including typos) on your browser without a paywall?

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-04-16*

As if to prove a point that folks shouldn’t be on their phones so much, the Daily Camera App makes it nearly impossible. What a joke of an App.

### 1/5 — Just as bad as the journalism

*2023-03-07*

The app is right on par with the lame journalism it attempts to report. Important facts are left out of articles, the grammar and spelling are on an 8th grade level, and the decisions of what news to cover is almost humorous. Does anyone even read these reviews. I’ve never seen so many 1-stars on anything.

### 1/5 — Nonfunctional

*2023-01-07, version 7.6.3*

The app quality is just as bad as their journalism. It will only show me one edition from 2.5 months ago even though I have paid for a current subscription.
