    This is awful. Have you people ever tried using it. The old version was a least better than this. Now when I want to read an extended article it will not go back to the original location. I want to double tap to enlarge an article so it is easier to read and tap again to return. This paper is so late with the news it’s called a history-paper. You are not going to keep readers unless you get things fixed..

    This dispatch app is horrible. I cannot find anything to read and stories only pop up one at a time—- it does not allow the reader to browse the newspaper. Do not expect any technical support. If you call for it, they only play music on hold. I am paid up for two years and cannot even access the paper.I am finished subscribing in the future.

  • Truly AWFUL App And Tech Support

    I am a digital subscriber. Half the time the app tells me that “my quota” of articles read has been reached!!! No one answers the help line even though the voicemail prompt tells the caller,”Please wait until the next support person comes on the line.” Hint: they never do. Like the previous writer, I would have dumped them months ago were it not the only source of local news. I still may dump them. This is completely unacceptable service. Sloppy, inattentive, and BAD business practice.

  • Paperless version is gone!

    As I scroll and read through Top Stories, the app loses its place and sends be back to the top of the section. Drives me crazy because I like to go through the whole list and next thing I know, I am back at the top. I try to find the article I was on and find the articles are in a different order or not there. So strange. I read the New York Times and Washington Post too in my phone and have 0 issues.

    TERRIBLE!!!!! Like the paper ! Support unresponsive like its editor who does answer emails. Why give your email address and then don't respond? Can not get E-paper after spending $500 in subscription!

  • Should have left this alone

    The new app for the Dispatch needs a lot of tweaking. Barely touch a page and it changes. Pages don’t “fit” anymore. The former app was so much easier to use and navigate. A rating of 4.2 is a fraud.

  • This is a horrible app!!!

    I don’t know if it’s an Apple problem or an app problem but this is the worst app I’ve used on my iPad. It is glitchy and unresponsive, and WAY too many ads for something I pay a subscription for. The only reason I pay for it is to follow OSU football, and that is a chore on this app. The Plain Dealer used to have an app this bad and made it so much better—-now it’s a pleasure. Hey Dispatch—maybe reach out to them!!

    Far and away the worst app I’ve ever used. No matter how many times I delete and reinstall, it’s the same lousy app. It doesn’t load efficiently. It won’t take my cookie choices, which is illegal in Europe by the way. It’s just terrible.
