  • Poor App

    By Euroschu
    This app has always been well below average, with too many bugs & frequent crashes. Hire someone from Ohio State, or any of the many universities and colleges in the Columbus metro area, and invest in a fix. This is an embarrassment for a major newspaper.
  • How do I delete this garbage?

    This App is Garbage. Just plain garbage. Can’t even get it to delete.
  • Columbus Dispatch app needs work

    Images load at full size so get your scrolling finger ready. Nation & World news is dated for 9/30/20... today is 11/28/20. So reading about Chris Wallace’s epic debate management over and over... well I don’t want to relive that just as much as Wallace. I’m curious how many Dispatch employees even look at the app.
  • Should be able to choose notification topics

    As a subscriber, I am so sick of getting endless Buckeye notifications. Users should be able to pick what category notifications they receive.
  • Not good

    Since the web page was updated the app has been much worse. Crashes and randomly shuts down frequently. I have to scroll past pictures that are out of proportion and incomplete. It should be an embarrassment to have an app this bad.
  • Glitchy app

    I have had the app for at least a year on iPhone, it keeps closing on me all of a sudden. You’d think they would have fixed this by now.
  • app won’t start

    Downloaded the app. Opened it. It asked me if i wanted to receive notifications. I selected “No”. It then closed. Opened again and closed on me. Did this several times, including a reinstall and won’t start. Don’t care enough about the app to enable notifications to see if that fixes the issue. Moving on.
  • Needs an update, can this app please be made functional?

    Update: Now the app does not work at all any longer on updated iPhones. This is an embarrassment for whoever is in charge of this. No reason to have an app for this newspaper if I cannot read it. It appears the new owners are a totally ignorant bunch that really does not care at all about this. What a Desaster! The app needs an urgent update. It constantly crashes on iPhone (that is uptodate). Can not recommend the app at this time. Still needs an update/fix. It is difficult to see how a newspaper would want to burden their readers with such a bad app. Please fix this up or replaced it.
  • Poor performance

    The app continuously crashes, load times are long, and top line images are not formatted for phone screens.
  • Need to Fix Bugs to Justify Price

    Technical support needs to fix bugs associated with this app to justify the cost of subscription. Here are some things I’ve encountered just with light use of the app over the past month: 1) pictures don’t scale appropriately on mobile. They’re extremely large and can’t be viewed due to the excessive scale 2) random crashing is frequent and frustrating. The app will crash when loading articles, when launching, or randomly throughout use. I want to access local news media through the app, but the small frustrations do add up to create a very buggy experience. If you want to charge for an app, you need to put some of that money towards technical support to ensure things are running smoothly.
