  • Keeps jumping back to page 1

    This is very irritating. I have to flip through to get back to where I was. If I want to go back to page 1 I know how to do that. Please correct this irritating issue!
  • Consistently treated as a non-subscriber

    Is it poor cookie retention? Poor app design? Poor digital page design or lack of customer experience of entry points to the app? I’ve been a 23-year Columbus Dispatch subscriber, yet I’m consistently treated as a non-subscriber. I’ll click on a URL for a Dispatch article & instead of linking to my logged-in profile, or even presented with an option to log in, I’m only offered ways to subscribe as a new customer. When seeking help with my print subscription, I’ll go in to the app, click on Subscriber Services, then despite being logged in, I’m only offered ways to subscribe. This app needs a MASSIVE user experience overhaul.
  • Vacation Stop & Subscription change

    I’m pretty upset with the “we’re updating the software” and the same auto phone message from the phone number. I want to do a vacation stop and make a change to my subscription. I would like the e-paper and Sunday print only. Meanwhile the papers are on my driveway and that’s a red flag!
  • Clunky navigation

    This app has good graphics and magnifies easily, but it is very difficult to find past issues (or return to current issue). If there’s a help video to understand site navigation, it’s impossible to find. There are lots of pop-ups on top of the heavy advertising that a paper already has.

    Having just reestablished service with the new bill I am now only able to open in a format that includes pop up ads and limited screen flexibility. No horizontal flip for wider larger view. Junk that I cannot remove from bottom of screen. The paper is a general disappointment on a good day and these new inconveniences are not acceptable.
  • Great local news

    I am using the app for free and can get most stories. Nice access.
  • Click bait disguised as news stories

    I’m disappointed in this app and the compromises made to make it profitable. I got the paid app to avoid all the ads. However, the paid app just means I can see more stories. I understand the economics of maintaining an app but that doesn’t justify allowing ads to look Ike news stories, intermingled throughout, making me weary to click to open a story. The ad” notice is in small white font and due to placement, appears as a news valid story. Click bait is a disgrace to long standing of the dispatch as a trusted news resource.
