When I’m traveling or if my paper carrier doesn’t deliver a paper, the app gives me a sense of the local news that is superior to the local tv station sites. I also enjoy some of the video clips. I would enjoy it more if the search function was more user friendly. An example, I was searching for high school sports scores and I struggled to find them until I realized that the category had changed to sectionals. It is still high school, right? So there is room for improvement there but glad we still have a local paper that publishes daily.
Good app with a few fixable problems
Soduku Blaster
The Democrat and Chronicle is the best source of local news in the Rochester area. I enjoy reading stories by Leo Roth, Sal Maiorana, and David Andreatta. However there are a few things that can be improved. For some reason stories about the Buffalo Bills more than a year old are still appearing at the top of the Bills news feed. This forces me to scroll to the bottom to see the most recent news. I submitted a request to fix this and I never heard back. The D and C is is using more video. Unfortunately this forces the reader to watch a 15 second ad every time you click on a short video. Some of the “videos” contain only text, almost like watching a Power Point slide show. I can tolerate the 15 second ad before a real video (I know ads support the business). But don’t make me watch an ad just to see me a slide show containing only text.
Terrible
Karferr
I cannot zoom in like before and whole page gets distorted if I do. Print too small cannot figure a view I like and I like old app 100% better-Ugh it’s still horrible and I don’t even read the paper anymore because it’s so distorted when I try to make it bigger. I could zoom before to see what was good on a page and read it like a paper. That is what I like about the app. It was like reading a paper. Now it’s just like every other news set up and it’s not our D&C paper. The different views don’t give you the paper feel at all even though it’s trying to set up articles I like the scan affect. Yet again the zoom in doesn’t work and messes up the whole page and it’s not easy to go back. (Even with the back button- it brings you a different view) Just giving feedback. I can do screen shots of what I mean if it’s helpful. Thanks!
Fix: Breaking News notifications
HankensenWillard
The app itself is generally fine altho the only notification I have set is “Breaking News” no other notifications are enabled like “Sports” but I’m always getting alerts on how the Bills are doing, player updates or other sports info. Yesterday during the afternoon I received 4 notifications on the Buffalo Bills. This is not “Breaking News” please only push these notifications to subscribers who have the “Sports” notification enabled as it’s truly annoying to be alerted to something that is absolutely not applicable to the notification that has been enabled. Not everyone in Rochester is either a Bills fan or a sports fan in general & it’s a waste of time to be notified for nothing.
