Unkind to subscribers!

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

Dallas morning need

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..

No search function

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?

Online DMN

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.

Made Good App bad

Unreliable app. Today, June 14, 2026 not available.

New update no good

Cannot stand the new update. If you have to take a call or review an email or text, it resets and takes you back to front page and you have to start all over. Pain in the rear. Formatting is off frequently as well. Don’t these people test anything before releasing? And so many spelling errors in paper these days.

Stopping Billing

I have been a subscriber to the print edition for more than 20 yrs , I wanted to keep my e edition and cancel the automated withdrawals from my checking account , there is no way to get in touch with any human , they constantly just hang up , I finally think I succeeded on line but got a paper today and went online and it says I have no subscription even though I last paid may 7th , what kind of service is this , none !!

Superb local resource and institution

Blessed to have such good writers and researchers working on local news. Save city hall!

Very disappointed

Long time subscriber. I cannot figure out how to get signed in on the new app. Always get an error message. When using app to read digital paper and I leave the app it takes me back to main page when I return. I have cancelled my subscription over this. Too much hassle when there are so many easy ways to consume news.

Back to Earlier Performance

Overall this is a pretty good app. Recently there had been a general “update” that has now mostly returned to my preferred look and navigation.

Used to be a good app

They changed the app and now it’s is terrible. I am going to cancel my subscription. It used to be so good but hey let’s fix what’s not broken. Terrible.

Great paper, great app

Local news is so vital, and this paper has more than paid for itself! Definitely recommend a subscription if you live in Texas, they’ve had some great coverage and reporting that I’m always sharing with people and telling them they need a subscription! :) but local elections, during the COVID crisis, changes to schools, laws/changes, news that isn’t reported other places and if it is it’s not from a local perspective. Like when giving Ice more funding was up for a vote, I wanted to know about it! Newest lawsuit from Paxton, Texas summer camps not getting approved. Local news is vital to democracy, if you don’t know what’s going on, then you won’t be ready when say, you get the email your local elementary school is closing and you want to know why and what happened in an unbiased way that isn’t left or right but facts. Like did you know it’s being worked on so there’s Bible verses in the new Blue Bonnet curriculum for schools for Texas? There’s an article about that, multiple. You can search with their search function. Oncor power grid updates, water plans so north Texas doesn’t run out (we could if they don’t make good choices) are they making the right choices? Search up the article! Don’t read Facebook from your uncle, read from professional unbiased reporters who report what you need to know and not just “click bait”. Save your brain, save democracy, read the local paper!

Hearst ruined it

There was an update after the DMN was acquired by Hearst. I imagine they moved the content to the platform that other Hearst owned papers are on. It was a downgrade. The new app is extremely buggy. For example, last Sunday the Sunday edition disappeared from the app several times. I opened the app and Saturday was the most recent edition. Sometimes the navigation allows you to jump to a particular section of the paper other times you can only jump to the first page or the last page. When there are 86 pages to the Sunday paper it is very inconvenient to go through 40 pages to get to the Business section. Finally, you can’t copy and paste text from the app anymore. Sometimes I quote the DMN in my social media posts, always giving credit, but now to do that I have to type the entire passage. I’m very dissatisfied with this app.

Dallas morning need

New lay out is difficult to read. It’s so liberal the only part to read is sport,however to many times it’s bot complete with scores or golf earnings. It appear little effort is put into making DMN a good newspaper

Go back

Initial change to the app was great then the changes started to happen. Yesterday was the worst! Now it jumps to unselected pages and cuts off the edges of the text.

Ancient

Slow, hard to read and not worth it.
