    Get the latest local news for the Rochester, NY area with the Democrat and Chronicle s iPhone app. A subscription to the Democrat and Chronicle is required and includes access to this app, online, mobile ...
    The news content is terrible Half of the articles are permanent fixtures and remain on your front page for months Yes months For filler the D C leaves articles on their app for a long time Some that are up today were first posted 2 5 Months ago As of the past month the app will only allow us to read the headlines and a few lines of the article teaser The content will not appear without paying a fee Garbage app do not even bother If you want the D C content just google their headlines and read it on the web     Very old content can not read articles Australya
    This app for the iPhone is a terrible app It crashes frequently and constantly has to reload There are pop ups on every page Very difficult to read any articles without getting some sort of pop up response Needs to be completely redesigned Frustrating     Terrible App GLS18
    The lack of a search feature let the Democrat Chronicle app bury unpopular news stories via content filtering and a rating feedback loop This update FINALLY enables readers to find news that doesn t make the front page Much thanks to the developers for listening and responding to criticism                 Finally A search feature NadaGamer
    No search function so when I am looking for an article I have to search on Google Who needs the app Also My Account is usually not available That is ridiculous And when I call the hold time is so long I usually hang up or today my call was dropped         Functionality is terrible Gilm611
    Paper has reasonable local content On line version is clunky and has too many pop ups Very difficult to maneuver around some sections like the obituaries                 D and C Need a name1
    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             Good app with a few fixable problems Soduku Blaster
    Strong team of reporters and editors doing great work to tell Rochester s story                     Great local news USA! USA!
    Our region s TV stations just skim the surface of local news I m glad the D C takes the time to thoroughly research and report local news stories                     In depth Local News Stories BVTNY
    I am most appreciative of access to local news and sports Most articles are informative and well written Although I still like feeling a newspaper this is a great complement to other online national apps Thank you                     Thumbs up for local news 4Papa3
    Great to have a decent app for our local paper Great news coverage including investigative team But for the App I like to be able to customize notifications for breaking news I have mine set to notify for NEWS ONLY no sports nothing else But still get several breaking news alerts every week for players questionable to play for the Bills due to such things as wonky ankles This is not news people this is sports             Ignores and bypasses notification settings pkin
    I like being able to catch up on current events on the go I love the Top Stories and having the updates that pop up in notification form are helpful as well They keep me up to date                     Great for Top Stories and Updates Mindmovesbody
    The main reason I have this app is to keep track of Rochester area obits I find that whenever I call for the obits by location the screen goes white the loading icon spins and the screen never returns John Radley                     Obits are NG Jack and Meg
    Limited article     No search function TMK516
    I read it each morning online no matter what state I m in                     Love the D C Bead heaven
    The app works great especially for headline local Rochester news Occasionally I read an article in print that I want to share with family and friends and can t find the same article on the app Thanks redesigning the app                 Great app for ROC for headline news EDonnelly
    Enjoy this app News delivered in a clean easy to use fashion Keeps me abreast of local news cultural events and trends In these days of struggling journalism it s important to keep your local newspaper alive                     Nice app SueRoch
    I enjoy reading local news on the go and this app works fine and has given me no problems If you enjoy reading local news then subscribe The D C is a valuable resource and needs to pay its bills somehow It worth giving them the support                     Does what it s supposed to do Loco_Hobo
    We get the weekend editions of the paper Occasionally use this during the week as it s included in that subscription             Not bad vb53
    I am a snowbird from ROC and look at DnC daily to keep up on life in upstate NY                 Handy APP Frontiersux
    I really like the D C and would prefer to read the hard copy but I travel a lot for work and the app is easier and available when needed The only concern I have is that sometimes content is slow to update I read the high school sports everyday and sometimes the app doesn t update to the latest days news             Need to have local news Joe Johnson444
    These days it s more important than ever to support true journalism especially involving local news                 Great app for local Rochester news ByTor102
    Always enjoy the D C and have for years                     Great news source Flamingo002
    Great for an ex Rochestarian Web site easy to maneuver and much more timely updates Easy to keep in touch with the hometown                 North Carolina resident ExRoc
    We get the print version of the paper but the app is so much more convenient and timely The updates are as fast and at times faster than the tv and radio Really enjoy it when traveling                     D C Khertzog
    Excellent source of information look at it regularly                     Fast Eddie Looeegee
    It s easy to use and the content is informative It s part of my daily routine                     Use and Content ROC Reader
    1st thing I notice are adds after just paying for digital content package SeriouslyReally Unless I am missing a setting usually paying for content should get you out of adds in my book        You pay for adds
    Easy and fast way to get Rochester NY news The app is clean and robust with content                 Cool local news at
    The DC app has two unacceptable issues 1 Frequently freezeslags on my iPhone 6 2 Cannot viewwrite comments on news stories     Buggy and deficient
    Will not let me log in Says I need an account when in fact I do My account works on the website just not with this app     Does Not Work On IPhone
    Ill have to stick to the web site as the app is pretty much useless I have a subscription to this newspaper and they still shove ads onto the small iPhone screen I could see ads for people who havent paid for a subscription but why would you force ads on a paying subscriber     Ads even with a weekly subscription
    Content is decent Picture content GREAT just wish could use some as background No search capabilities and emailing tedious If you want people to purchase paper make is EASY not so clunky Check out rag to west on Thruway for a well presented website thats easy to use        Needs some work
    For me clean design is great but usability rules and this works really well thumbs up                 DC mobile app
    Keep the web app for the videos of local news and the sports blogs and get the DC print app for ALL the news The web app has none of the news wire stories therefore nothing beyond WNY        No world news
    Would prefer more of the content from the print edition since they started auto charging for the web content Never had a problem with loading speeds or site crashes Site is kind of hit and miss with content updates I would expect for instance to be able to find the previous nights redwings score which often isnt there           Not bad
    Very user friendly and easy to navigate I especially like the weather part now Lindsay M                 Great App For News
    I like that I am alerted to the top stories Otherwise not very user friendly           Alright
    Should be free to browse the specific topics like the USAToday App        Disappointed
    First off dont expect effective integration between this app and any mentions of other web information Such content is often mislabeled or incomplete The major glitch in the app is that the article you are reading may often be clipped at the bottom So you know what realtor is paying for advertising but you wont ever know how your article ended Maybe this is only true on the newest version of the iPhone app Oh wait Thats what Im reviewing And dont try turning your screen horizontally to finish articles to the end This function was left unprogrammed Gannett Corp is doing a very incompetent job at anything unrelated to boosting USATodays bottom line Way to crap on your hometown Gannett Somehow this subscriber expected more from this company        Limited app
    Perfect app It will be better if we can write comments below news articles                 perfect app Good job
    Excellent app very informative and well designed I find it nice to be able to keep up with what is going on at home while Im away on my phone                 Informative App
    It is reliable and does have most of the news It would be great if it operated within the ios newsstand I read the NYTimes and Boston Globe on the iphone and the D C would do well to copy their interfaces Bottom line is that it seems primative           Functional but not great
    Opened the app to read the news got begged for a review1 star     ObGruber
    Too hard to navigate Needs built in search        Needs a new interface
    Good concept so far for the app Although a few things are missing that could be added Unlike the website theres no obituary section or comics on the app Went to look for an obituary and ended up having to look in the actual paper for it Please add an obituary section              Good Start So Far
    Enjoy reading the paper on the go Sometimes asks me to log in multiple times Otherwise a great app Happy to have it              Good app
    Happy to have another way to get the DC Easier for my busy schedule Thanks for the text controls so I can make the text bigger Yes Im a boomer                 Thanks for the app
    2 day old news and still can not find comics or cross word puzzle Would have thought they would have followed USA Todays format     Weak at best
    Jacking up your prices then releasing a free app that doesnt work Way to keep the hometown people hooked on the news Attempted a log in to no avail Keeps telling me Email exists in UA tried Facebook route and still no luck Attempted it on the site and no issues and also went the Forgot Password route and still no luck on getting the application to work Much like the rate hike this effort receives a 2 star rating one for the effort and the other out of sympathy I applaud journalism for clawing at the ledge and trying to keep a place in our world but in an already expensive economy raising prices to keep customers is the last thing you should be doing Its not like getting gasoline which unfortunately is a necessary evil all on its own        Doesnt work
    For the paid subscription also shows too many ads otherwise no one can beat their Rochester content              Nice but too many ads
    The app seems to work ok but it is surprising that Gannett would charge so much for for access to their material and then not provide an iPad version of the app Its not like the iPad is some new fangled thing that may not catch on Considering how poor the user experience is compared to apps that are designed for the iPad one has to wonder what the folks at Gannett were thinking when they decided not to provide an iPad app on day 1 I rate this app at 3 because it works but Im not impressed           Its ok but they need an iPad version
    Enjoy being able to quickly check current news on my phone Cant always read in depth because of locks           On The Go Read
    The current app does not appear to allow users to search           Missing feature
    Every real newspaper offers some free content Not this rag Poor paper in print or electronic     Poor effort
    Got the app to check on my hometown from time to time Most content is locked App isnt too useful locked so I go to TV station apps for news content more than I like        Out of town native
    No builtin search capabilities is really annoying especially when it has ads for google search which I already have installed When I try to open articles from my email andor safari the article doesnt open in the app and then theres no way to search for it within the app     Meh
    Would be nice if app had newsstand support           Newsstand
    Why isnt there an option to view the PDF version of the paper instead of snippets     Horrible
    Clunky and hard to navigate Something opens whenever you scroll Will be deleting     Not so good
    App does not do landscape view on iPad Thats way behind the times I like to read most everything in landscape view and couldnt believe that it is not provided with this app More added later today I scroll to obits and the screen scrolls back before I can choose obits Bad bad bad     No landscape view on iPad
    Decent App that presents local news stories in a format that is easy to navigate Alerts are very timely and allow you to stay informed throughout the day              Nice App
    I am very disappointed in the DC app It is not fluid It is either very slow to scroll or it goes to fast It regularly seizes up There is no room to scroll without accidentally hitting articles and opening them The app Has been down completely for 2 days now Please see how the WSJ produced their app and learn what a really well done version of a newspaper        Slow hard to navigate
    The new revision works much better now It now allows access to much more online content There are still articles that require a browser which is annoying and the app could really use a search feature           Getting better
    So glad to have this app and a way to keep up with local news                 Finally
