Daily News - Digital Edition

I can download the paper without any problem. There is also an option to view articles with 3/page with a headline & picture with about 10 pages that is usually updated as news breaks but only 2 pages have been updated for several weeks. I notified them via the “contact us” stamp in settings, but have received no response. Also deleted, then restored the app with no change. I’ve had this app for a couple of years, but I’m not getting what I paid for now and will probably get rid of it. Too bad, I will miss it!

This is a terrific newspaper app. In fact, the best I've ever seen. For a seriously low price compared to the print edition, it allows a very fast download of an exact replica of the print edition. In a minute or less (on wi-if) you have the entire paper. It also has the option of a digitized edition -- but I prefer the "classic" view. The News app was horrible a few years ago when I last looked at it, but they've really got it down. As to content, you can be your own judge. It is not The NY Times (way less thorough and intellectual and more parochial) but it has better coverage of sports and NYC crime. And, unlike the Post, it's a real newspaper. And the price point is amazing.

I’ve been a Daily News reader all my life, but with the price going up to $1.50, I decided to give the app a try again. It’s not bad, but it has issues when using older devices (iPad 1, iPad 4). It won’t work with the original iPad, and it crashes constantly on the iPad 4 - but they’re no longer supported by Apple, so it’s not a shock. But it crashes on my iPhone 6+, so I guess that it’s a RAM issue, since it seems stable on my iPhone 7+ and iPad Pro. You don’t get the Sunday supplements or Sunday funnies, but for the price you can’t complain. The daily funnies are in very low resolution. I’m not sure if it’s an anti-piracy measure or if it’s a bandwith saving thing, but it’s tough to read them.

The New York Daily News knows what is right. I may not always agree with some of its political positions or its occasional entertainment crassness, but when it comes to the reality of gun violence, the NRA, #MeToo, city hall or NY State political shenanigans and the deleterious effects of Republican policies and president Trump’s craziness on our precious democracy and nation, the News reports it honestly and forcefully. In addition, its cover page is always worthy of my posting it on Facebook as is the art of its political cartoonist, Bramhall, who is brilliant and the best.

The digital edition of the daily news is just like reading the print edition-only better. You can flip through the pages just like the print edition. You never have to worry about delivery issues. And you could zoom in and enlarge articles of interest. All this while you still have the hard hitting journalism that the NY Daily News is known for. And the best sports section and TV listings in NY. I can't start my day without the Daily News App on my iPhone.
