### 1/5 — Not working on IPad

*2026-08-15, version 202606.47*

The app opens but I can’t read the paper because it doesn’t recognize my subscription. Completely useless so I’ll have to end my subscription to DMN!

### 1/5 — WORST App Around

*2026-08-15, version 202606.47*

Why do I pay for a subscription to the absolute worst app out there? It is super glitchy, forces a login for EVERY article that comes through “breaking news” alerts, and then errors out before the article can be read. Whoever designed this app should be fired.

### 1/5 — Adequate app; poor customer service

*2026-08-14, version 202606.47*

You can’t get rid of the bar at the top and bottom of the app.  Customer service is horrible.

### 4/5 — More golf !

*2026-08-10, version 202606.47*

Longtime subscriber! Enjoy digital version when out of town!

### 1/5 — This sucks

*2026-08-08, version 202606.47*

What have you done?
I hate this!!!

### 2/5 — Keeps reloading

*2026-08-07, version 202606.47*

The app regularly reloads and takes you back to the opening screen. Just turning off the iPad screen and turning it back on reloads the paper. Downloading also doesn’t work well as it often loses the download.

### 4/5 — Unkind to subscribers!

*2026-07-13, version 202606.47*

Very difficult for subscribers to open digital news stories online.😡

### 1/5 — Dallas morning need

*2026-06-25, version 202606.47*

So liberal. Most story’s are written off the wire. If I could get business and sports that’s all I would buy. This is a 10 minute newspaper. No value…….i think since it was sold is gotten worst wick I thought was impossible..

### 3/5 — No search function

*2026-06-23, version 202605.25*

I have noticed this going to the website too. There is no way to search for an article. Kind of frustrating. Am I missing it?

### 5/5 — Online DMN

*2026-06-20, version 202605.25*

I’m loving the online DMN! I easily read the newspaper on my IPhone every day! Whoever came up with this is a genius and deserves a raise! I’m 78 years old & have always read the DMN with my coffee. Now I read on my IPhone! This is awesome.
