Terrible coverage
Terrible coverage of the White House Press event attempted assassination
What a useless paper

Much improved on the iPad
The new version is a major improvement over the old. It seems the slow refresh, blurry images and text of the past has finally been solved. The navigation seems to work well also once you understand the new interface. One problem that occurs however is the startup in landscape mode. Even though I set the preference to view one page wide, when I pick the paper to read, it initially displays one page but it is very small with lots of space on the sides. A workaround for this is to turn the device momentarily to portrait mode and then back to landscape after which the page displays full width. This should be an easily solvable problem.
Update Feb 2026:
A couple pain points with this app that I would have hoped to be solved by now but still remain:
1. Why does the app nearly always exit if you momentarily switch to another app or switch off the display and then come back? No other iPad app has this behavior.
2. When you do relaunch it, you have to endure watching the dumb PD logo splash screen again before you “sort of” return to where you were.
3. It eventually does restore you to the page you were on, but only at the top of the page without any zoom you might have had on. It won’t position you vertically on that page where you were. Also, if you try to zoom again within the first 10 seconds or so, the app overrides you and resets the screen to full width! Very annoying!
These are easy problems to solve. Please fix them! Took off another star due to these problems.

Online blocked
My PD online stopped working. I can log in, but when I try to view the paper it says I don’t have a subscription. I need to subscribe to the PD. My $90 a month payment suggests otherwise. PD chat says there is a glitch somewhere and has been escalated to another department. Can I get a refund for the days I don’t get a physical paper (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday)???

Will most likely cancel soon
To sum up the paper articles in one word——-NEGATIVE. Your reporters are socialist who have nothing good to say about our nation. But I can understand that because Cleveland schools are failing, 3 Cleveland professional sports teams are failures, business development is poor ,the airport is really bad compared to others around the country, anybody 60 years old or younger has never experienced a winning culture in Cleveland. But then what do you expect with one party rule of incompetence for so many years. And you wonder why people leave the city??

Plain Dealer is completely liberal
I have been reading the PD for 50 years. It has become a leftist propaganda paper. Completely devoid of conservative values. The paper has become unreadable. The only conservative article is written by GEORGE WILL. Every single day the PD has a negative article about president TRUMP. HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED more in one year than any president in my lifetime. Start having articles that talk about his success. Otherwise, this paper will continue to lose subscribers and remain irrelevant. Just be fair and unbiased.
