Redlands Daily Facts 4+

I was hoping this app would have local news stories, like the print version. I found mostly general news that is available on way too many other news apps and outlets. Disappointed to see the sad slow death of journalism has come to Redlands.

I find it hard to believe it even though I paid for a print subscription, the online version doesn’t seem to have a search function and frequently pops up on skippable video ads to boot.

When you buy a newspaper that serves a community, you have a responsibility to serve the community. This app, and the paper in general, is failing to do so.

The newest stories in Breaking Stories are from four months ago. The calendar section is inadequate.

The app is hard to navigate.

There are way too many articles from Los Angeles, where the new owners are based, and fewer from Redlands since the paper was sold.

The ads are too hard to avoid clicking on.

I live in Redlands and recently changed to the digital edition of this paper on weekdays. I'm sorry I did. I'm actually paying for access to this digital paper. The app managers need to do a better job.
