Best desert news media in the valley

I love the Desert Sun. It’s very well written and informative - much better than most Coachella Valley news media. My only complaint is trying to login after I bought a subscription- it really should be quite simple, but someone has managed to make it so bad that I may not renew my subscription.

Awful news app!

I have been a subscriber for nearly 25 years, but I am beginning to rethink that. Recently, The Desert Sun eliminated the print edition on Saturdays, and I’m ‘old school’ and prefer my news in PRINT. So I got used to the ‘print edition’ app for my Saturday edition. Then you announced that the app will be eliminated, and I can use the other digital app for my e-newspaper. IT IS AWFUL. It doesn’t allow me to use my tablet in horizontal view (which I prefer because it stands on its own that way) so I have to hold it or prop it up. OK. But the app behaves much differently from the previous one. Being able to see the spreads as they are laid out in the print edition is part of the experience. That’s gone now. I am now also subjected to pop-up ads, which is insulting given what my subscription costs. Besides which, the app is ‘buggy’ and balky, with ghosting links, and all sorts of other garbage. It’s almost unusable. Clearly its only a matter of time before the print edition is discontinued completely, and I will, sadly, get my local news elsewhere.

Bring Back e-edition app

I read the paper newspaper daily -but delivery has become unreliable. On the days when the paper isn’t delivered, I am forced to read the e-edition. Now, you have taken away the e-edition app and replaced it with this monstrosity. Single tap, double tap, articles don’t resize. Ads float down over articles and then you can’t get back to the article. Additionally, I read the e-edition in landscape mode on an iPad. The new app does not allow the double page spread to fill the screen. It is a tiny representation—almost unreadable— of the double spread centered on the screen. If your readers are opting for the e-edition rather than your other format, wouldn’t you think that they would want to read the paper as a double spread in landscape format?
You complain that you are losing readers?! This app makes the paper almost unreadable. I used to look forward to reading the paper with my coffee in the morning….now reading the Desert Sun has turned into a nightmare.
