I love the Plain Dealer. I'm 83, when I was a boy I had a paper route. I'm going to read the PD forever.
★★★★★Doris Nunes· Oct 27, 2021
Ideas the pd every day including the digital edition
★★★★☆Mary Fox· Apr 15, 2021
Every time I log in to PD it tells me to download latest app. I have downloaded new app twice. Eve. Not happy
★☆☆☆☆Charles Adams· Jul 16, 2021
Operation of app is sporadic. On opening, I'm taken to the Google Play Store and have to open the app from there. Then I need to download the edition to read. It is not uncommon for edition to fail to download, and I need to restart the process. This morning, I have tried downloading the edition numerous times, with the app continuously closing after 7 pages are downloaded

Without question the WORST app ever!!! I'm about ready to cancel my subscription. I suggest that you have someone check out the apps for the New York Times or the Washington Post to see what a real newspaper app should be!
★☆☆☆☆Phill Broyles· Apr 6, 2021
I hate this new app. I used the digital version previously, and this app doesn't let me access the digital version. And I don't want to download the paper in order to read it. If this isn't changed, I will be canceling my subscription.
★☆☆☆☆Thomas Kerr· Apr 7, 2021
Does not launch properly on my Android after the upgrade. Once upgraded I now have to click on 'install latest' and then 'open' to run the application. Disappointing. 3:49 AM April 7.
