Deseret News App Reviews

No search box. Basically a decent app that gets the job done except there is no search capability. No search box to quickly drill down to the news you’re looking for. What to see the latest covid stats? You have to wander around until you find it. Want to show someone an article you read a few days ago? Forget it. No way to search for it. No other major (or minor) newspaper I’ve looked at does this. They all have a search box.

Obituary page. It seemed your obituary section was not being available, but today it is, however in a different format. With not having daily newspapers, it is our only means of being notified of our families and friends passing. Miss our daily printed newspaper, however thank you for the daily digital access to the news. I do however feel for those like my family members who do not have cell phones or computers. My older generation family members are very handicapped at knowing the happenings in the world other than TV, with so many un truths. We loved the church owned newspaper. We could trust what was printed. Thanks I hope the obituary page remains in tact.

Easy to use - one request. I like the app and can easily find the news I wish to read. I’d like to see more functionality to choose what type of notifications are sent to me. I only have breaking news turned on and I get alerts on opinion pieces and sports. Not what I consider breaking news.

POPULAR TAB IS BACK. My old review is below. I like this new update now! Five stars thanks Deseret news Man I really really love Deseret news, but when it forced me to update, I did. I hate how I can’t see more than 10 stories. The app doesn’t load any more, like when I load the latest stories. I will leave 5 stars if you make this better

Content is great but the app is a pain. I love the idea of this and the plus content. However, this app makes me INSANE! It constantly logs me out. And I hate that I get weird things happening when I try to download audio books. Please make it more like audible where you are always signed in and the book is there with one click! Even when I press the download all, half the time I get started on the book and it moves me to weird places because something didn’t download.

Computer problem. I really enjoyed the Deseret news digital. Although we enjoyed the written part much better but we can longer receive it. My problem is the pages tend to jump all over the place and get out of sequence. I got a new Kindle thinking that would help which it did but it is still a big problem with it not staying on the same page if you try and make the print larger

The Devalued Deseret News. I find the electronic version of the Deseret News lacking most of the features that I enjoyed in the old hard copy version. I find it very biased towards conservative politics, and very oriented towards opinion instead of actual news reporting. The Sports section no longer provides box scores or league standings for any teams, and it is biased towards BYU. I miss coverage that used to be more balanced, moderate, unbiased and newsworthy. I also miss the daily comics. The Deseret News has lost value in terms of news, information, and entertainment as it has transitioned to its e-version.

New app. Your new app is terrible. You created extra steps for the reader to find articles. For example: in the sports section, you now have to go into specific categories to determine if there is an article of interest. I am not a Real Salt Lake fan so its highly unlikely I will ever go into that section. But there may be a time or two when there is an article I would be interested in - like the coach being fired. I will never see that because of the extra step you created to find it. Bad design on your part.

Liberal views should not represent the Church. I have been reading this news for a couple months. Even the non-opinion pieces follow the news I get on ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC without ever telling the facts found on Fox News or other conservative news outlets. I am dismayed that this is my Church pushing opinion that I find sometimes disgraceful. I have enjoyed learning where the word “woke” started, but I believe that is the ONLY useful piece of information gained from reading this news. My heart aches that the journalists are doing this possibly being funded, in part, with my tithing! I hope not.

DN Review. I especially like the days important item showing on my screen and tap to go directly to the leading article. As a member of the LDS faith, outside of Utah, I Ike to read articles that reflect reflect upon the Church. I also like to read articles of political interest to Utah and there importance to the state and our nation. Overall, I enjoy Deseret News!

Too little content. My major complaint with this app is that the content disappears too quickly. For example, I just went to the sports section. There are only 10 stories available, and the oldest one is only 20 hours old. I should be able to search back several days at least, if not weeks. Another complaint is that there is no link to the comments section and also no link to open the story in a browser. You really should have one or the other, if not both. Also, some stories make reference to charts or graphs, and the chart/graph is not viewable in the app.

I Love Deseret News. I think Deseret News is the best newspaper I have ever read. Your writers are not to the far left, and they remain objective. There is no manipulation of words or phrases to try to turn our minds. Thank you so much for having it online so I can enjoy it in FL. It’s the only newspaper I read,

Latest upgrade is lousy. The recent app upgrade (Deseret News.) is horrible. We have always loved reading the Deseret News online until now. Cannot recommend this app anymore. Not easy to read, not easy to scroll thru to find interesting articles, and choice of articles is severely limited. Definitely not a good change.

Utah’s Best News Source - Great News App. The Deseret News app is well organized and easy to use. It includes useful news information for Utah, the U.S., and the World. And is interesting to read: “it is not too soon to award the trophy for the year's most cogent distillation of urgently needed thinking. It is this: "We don't mail Elvis a Social Security check, no matter how many people think he is alive." No. Matter. How. Many.”

New format. I don’t like the new format as it is more difficult to navigate. I also wish that the entire Church News was displayed each week instead of only some of the articles. Its also more difficult to find the Church News in the new app - please make it easier! I do like the less biased national news coverage.

Deseret newspaper. Sports, no box scores no college football or basketball ratings. Terrible baseball coverage too much soccer coverage. No football or basketball nationwide conference coverage, this is not a sports page. Comics, no daily comics. General news, still leaning a little bit too far right of center but much better than previous. Don’t be afraid to report on the hard subjects. Please give us at least an occasional liberal viewpoint. More national news. Obituaries, excellent. General, do you have a science, editor?

Mixed feelings. Still not used to the digital format. Not easy to navigate especially on phone or tablet. Dislike being glued to a screen. Miss the daily comics. Don’t like ads in the middle of the articles. On the plus side it saves paper and doesn’t get soggy in rain or snow. Miss daily TV listings. Difficult to use when multiple users share a single device. So far I prefer old fashioned paper copy.

Deseret News is Biased. The Deseret News’ writers and publishers do not fairly report the news. As only one recent example, stories about Mia Love’s shenanigans were buried in back pages. On its website unflattering stories about Love were delayed, do much I actually called to ask when they’d be published because news outlets both in and out if Utah has already reported negative news - and there’s been plenty about Love and the Republicans. The illogical Republican bent of the Deseret News undermines its credibility and professionalism. Report the news, don’t spin or hide it for your own political ideology. Report objective facts without spin and let your readers decide. Reporters should never filter news or soin it for their readers. I much prefer the Salt Lake Tribune for its better reporting.

Fails at most important function. Overall, the app has a nice new interface. However, it fails at its most important function - providing the news! You can only see the articles that can fit on a single page. So, unless you are able to go through the app every 2-3 hours, you will miss articles. The old app and the web site have the ability to “view more” articles so that you can go back several days. If they fix this problem, I would give the app four stars. It is a little harder to navigate than the old app. For now, I recommend the web site.

Great app!. I seriously use this app everyday. It’s incredible. It has well written stories by great journalists who keep me updated on local and world news. It has a user friendly interface and simple controls. If you are looking to stay up to date on all things Utah or are just in need of a good app for news sources this is the one!

Deseret News. Utah has two main newspapers - The Deseret News and The Salt Lake Tribune. Historically the Tribune leaned liberal and the News leaned more conservative. I’ve become very disappointed in the editorial direction of the News over the past couple of years as it seems to have blown left with an oversupply of news, stories and opinions pieces that are Woke in nature or seem to overly focus on what’s wrong with America and Utah. People who think America is so bad haven’t likely been to many other countries. Send your editors on a good long road trip to talk to people in other countries. You will likely hear that they are concerned that the world is about to lose its greatest asset - a stable, religious, prosperous USA. In short Deseret News should take a hard look at whether it has anything different and valuable to say in these turbulent times. Let’s have some decent old fashioned journalism and report more of what’s right than what wrong in our nation and in Utah. Trust me, there is much more right than wrong in America. For some reasons many politicians and new media outlets, including the Deseret News, don’t what us to see it that way.

Going downhill. I enjoyed the app prior to this update. Now Very little sports information and nothing about the University of Utah or Utah State. If all i had for news was this app i wouldn’t know much. I also subscribe to the printed Deseret News which is not very open to conservative information. To much Washington Post articles. I think the D News is losing it

Unbiased news source. The DNews app is easy to use, straightforward in presentation, and makes all news stories easy to see and skim through. The language is unbiased - unlike the other major SLC newspaper, I don’t need to interpret the actual events by parsing through the words used and get past the reporter and editors’ obvious bent. The DNews just lays out the facts, and I really appreciate that.

Good reporting and writing. I love the in-depth reporting on substantive issues; it is important that in the media, there is a voice like the Deseret News, shedding light and a correct perspective. I also appreciate the thoughtful analysis from the editorial team. So many papers and news outlets post knee-jerk stories to complex problems and incite greater calamity that the original issue should have created. A stable and calm-headed voice like the Deseret News is needed. I would like the DN to include the option to comment on articles from within the app, instead of on social media.

Logging In/Buyist Opinions. So first of all, I open the app, keep in mind I have never had problems with it before and it crashes, I didn’t think anything of it and I check my WiFi to go back in. As I try to log in the entire app keeps crashing! I have never had a problem with my WiFi I even checked it multiple times, but this honestly was ridiculous. This started about a week ago as-well so it was kind of annoying to have it not work. As for their buyers opinions they are incredibly bad. You might be asking why I downloaded the app if I knew this was gonna happen and to be honest, I didn’t. I always used the news in the morning just to see what’s going on in the world, but everything at Fox has been escalating really quickly and they are BIG trump supporters. So be that as it may, they are showing pictures and clips of protests (which are SAFE because I have been to a few and everyone has a mask and gloves) saying that all of the black people are incredibly violent which isn’t true at all. Also saying that protesters are killing the earth because we aren’t at home. This honestly isn’t a good news app at the moment, please try looking somewhere else for something better because it’s incredibly sad to see all of this going on.

The Most Timely & Relevant News app for Utah and beyond. The Deseret News app consistently breaks news first in Utah. Be it politics, sports or breaking news, no other media source in Utah consistently breaks the story first and definitely no one goes as in-depth as Deseret News. Thanks for an awesome news app! Glad I no longer need to waste time watching poorly rehashed newscasts on local television.

Easy way to keep up on news. For me it is easy to go to the APP and catch up on just not national news but also and more importantly to me the local news just wish they had better coverage of local high schools up north. There are schools located outside the Salt Lake area and Utah county and they are pretty good also

Where is the game listed in your list of headlines?. Just when I thought that Deseret News would give equal prominence to the UTE football games, I found that I was sadly mistaken: When I looked on your home page this morning for the story of last night’s Utes impressive victory, it was nowhere to be found. All that could be found were the irrelevant, old and untimely. Why did I need to go to the Sports Section to find it?

Article on Kamala Harris. I can’t believe the Deseret News would run an article like this. she is speaking to impress and her daily actions and convictions do not in any way support her dialogue. Known as the most liberal of all senators, she is on the forefront of the planned parenthood fight- wanting abortion at any time in the pregnancy , even after birth. I was first exposed to the kind of person she was during the disgeaceful hearing of Brett Kavanaugh. Again her inflammatory and accusatory style did not highlight her “background of faith. It’s easy to act “good” in an environment that would vote for that kind of behavior but Kamala is anything but the values she strongly professes. Her own father has questioned her integrity.

New update bad for Deseret. The new version might look pretty but doesn’t deliver what I want from the app. Often when I select “US and World” news I am hoping for news from around the world but for some reason the top articles are often about local high school sports.... I don’t think those are nationally or internationally relevant. It also will only show about 5 or 6 articles back, that’s not helpful when I only am checking the app once or twice a week. Seems like I’m missing a lot. I loved the previous app but the update needs work

Worse than previous version. This app is almost totally useless. The previous version wasn’t much better but this version barely gives an outline of the day’s news. And no search feature? What’s with that? The previous version’s search was clumsy at best but at least one could try searching somewhat. This is little more than an obituary newspaper. 👎👎👎👎

It is nice to stay in touch. We have been gone from Utah for more than 50 years, but we still have many roots there. It is good to be able to get news of the valley and news that I can relate to and rely upon. Thanks for being accessible. for those of us not living there.

Quality has gone down. The change of the Deseret News to online has unfortunately caused the quality of the paper to spiral down. I have read the paper for about 45 years so I feel informed to say this. There is a huge redundancy with the same articles appearing in the monthly magazine, weekly printed edition, and daily online editions being in more than one section of the paper. There are more opinion articles than there used to be. The instant analysis of Jazz games is simply opinion and assumes the reader watched the games instead of reporting on the game. I miss box scores and standings of our MLS and NBA teams. I also miss the writing of Amy Donaldson. I think it is very narrow minded to only use local sports. When RSL had three members on the under 24 national team there was not a single article about how they did or there feelings about participating. I understand the need to change because of revenue issues but right now this version is way below expectations. Sincerely, Ann Alley

Generally Positive. My delivery issues have been resolved for the most part, thank goodness, but it took awhile. I like the sports section except for the generally weak coverage of WSU sports. The women’s softball team had a wonderful season and received virtually no coverage. They were the only team to win a game in NCAA tournament. The sports headline writing is phenomenal! Kudos for that. I don’t appreciate the lackluster coverage of Pres. Trump. He has his flaws as we all know, but he has accomplished a lot. The paper’s a bit sanctimonious about him. Mitt Romney gets too much coverage — I don’t appreciate his performance in Washington. Expected much better. He’s not a team player. I love the Church News and Latter-day Saint Living and the many excellent reporters and writers in general. I appreciate the unbiased coverage on so many issues. All in all, I really like the Deseret News — its a very good newspaper.

Great service. I like the Deseret News app. It is easy to use. I feel I get good information on all topics. It is a great service. I have been uncomfortable with other sources in the past with too much violence depicted in pictures for example. I feel the news from Deseret News is tastefully done and aims for accuracy and integrity.

Mr & Mrs. Deseret news does not reflect the values that My parents and I grew up with. The editorial that was anti ACB reflects the DN pro abortion pro big government position. The American Dream of hard work, self reliance, taking care of family etc. is no longer supported by the DN. It has become a smaller version of the NY times I have followed the paper for over 70 years and disappointing in what the paper has become It now appears that right after Elder Oaks called on all Christians to understand minority racial issues, Burgess Owens, says the Deseret News has dropped his adds days before the election. The Deseret News has pushed Ben McAdams even though he supports all pro- abortion candidates. The DN has not condemned abortions which can only conclude they are in favor of late term abortions of viable fetuses. So the DN is racist as well as pro abortion (or to be fair) may not be pro abortion but definitely doesn’t take a stance against late term abortions of viable fetuses

No search function. I really like the new app but if it is not what the des news wants me to see then I cannot find it. I have to go out to google to do a search for an article that is in the Deseret News. It is very annoying. Is there a search function or did it get forgotten?

Relied on you. I used to rely on Deseret news for true, unbiased journalism. Although that may not have been true 100% of the time, Deseret News demonstrated more integrity than could be found in other news media outlets. But where is the reporting of anything other than telling us whether black lives matter, and how we should think and feel about current issues? Please lose the Buss and use real journalism. And why can’t you report the NEWS - including the good - and people making a difference for good in our community? We have enough doom and gloom, enough demoralization, enough mental illness, enough heartache, enough, enough, enough. Please stop grinding out nose in all your stories and headlines. Please go out and find the good things and report on that as well as the difficult things happening around us. Make for GOOD the headline instead of the bad. At least half of the time. Help lift people. Then you’ll be making a difference.

Delervy problems. We have terrible delivery problems. Two or three times a week we do not get a paper. Numerous times I ask for the paper to be put on our front porch and it continues to be thrown onto our driveway on the side of our house where we can’t see it. We are an older couple and don’t get around too well. We have such poor service we would stop taking the paper if we did not like getting the Church Section so much. Regardless of our many calls the service continues to be terrible. I would think hard before subscribing to the Deseret News.

Fantastic coverage by real reporters. I do like how your reporters actually report the news and do so as accurately as they can - and they do not politicize it nor do they turn from reporters into commentators. When your newspaper carries commenting you always disclose it as so and I’ve never seen any other paper on live or hard copy do this. So a most sincere thank you from this reader who has read your paper for some 30+ years.

Go back to the old one. This app is immeasurably worse than the previous. It is difficult to navigate, you can’t tap from an article in the app and go to the online version of the article. The online version home page and app home page don’t match up, so you can’t find stories if you want to navigate to them manually online. Once you get to an article online, the comments load S L O W L Y, if at all. On iPhone 11 the navigation bar floats around the article, making it difficult to go back to the home screen. I don’t know what Carnival vending machine they got this out of, but they should get their money back.

Same as website but without comments. The Deseret News app has a clean look and is easy and intuitive to use. The app duplicates the paper’s website with one major difference: it does not have the reader commenting feature. If you are someone who finds a benefit in reading comments on articles or In commenting on them, you might as well skip the app and just read the paper on your web browser instead. The app gives the convenience of one-click (tap) access on your device, but you can get nearly the same ease of access and the exact same content by bookmarking the website on your browser, plus you get the commenting functionality. The paper is conservative in its editorial stance; some of this filters through to the reportorial side, mostly in the choice of stories covered. National news is mostly wire service. Utah and SLC news reporting is in-house. Reporting quality varies. Some is excellent, some just skimmed from the internet.

# 1 Newspaper. It is my go to for up to date news. Living in an area where a local newspaper is no longer delivered is truly a blessing. I Iove to read the news first thing in the morning, that’s what I do before anything else!!!I love the app, easy to find articles in each category that keep me up to date on world and local news. Keep up the good work for a level one newspaper.

New update has so few options. One of the great things about the Deseret News app is that you could scroll through days of stories. If you’d missed a day or were trying to find an old article, it was ideal. The last update severely limits the numbers of stories you can scroll though. One day last week, it was only stories through the last nine hours. And the last update wasn’t optional on my device. It was update or never receive more news. I’m very disappointed.

Deseret News App. The obituaries were added to the site. The news is updated regularly and the app is user friendly. The DN is current, relevant and a good source of Utah news and information along with world news too. I love the local news and features. There are enough sources out there to access world and national news, even though Deseret News supplies this.

Trustworthy News. I’ve been dissatisfied and disappointed with many News channels, it seems like most groups are showing biases, but I’ve really enjoyed Deseret News. I always feel I can trust what is being reported and if they ever take a political stance in an opinion article I always feel they are moderate and reasonable.

Light on Stories Now. In the past I would start out my day with the Deseret News web edition. There were plenty of stories, local and beyond and I felt informed with my daily news feed. Sadly, they cut back the number of articles and there just isn't much there now. KSL seems to have more local content and I subscribe to the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal for national, world and economic news.

Update - A "Go-To" News Source. I wrote a review 3 years ago for this app, (See below). And in the intervening period they continue to make improvements and enhancements. It is my go-to source for Utah and Mountain West news, but they are also a good source for breaking and key US news as well. If I were allowed only one news source (not likely unless the president shuts down every news outlet he hates) it would be this Deseret News app. Bookmark it. Put it on your home page. "SCA" it. (Single Click Access). >>>>>>>I have lived all around the United States (in 9 different states to be exact) and have sampled local and national news in a variety of formats during those 30+ years. The Deseret News electronic edition is one of the top few in content, design and delivery. And it keeps getting better. I wouldn't be surprised to find it in the top 5 nationally in a variety of categories. I wouldn't let its geographical location keep it from becoming a regular read for individuals regardless of location or persuasion.

Long time reader disappointed.. I’ve been a regular reader of the Deseret News for more than 50 years. They have always done a good job reporting sports and local news. However, i’ve noticed that their editorial staff has taken a dramatic turn to the left over the past few years. Boyd Matheson and Jay Evanson generally do fair editorials. Most of the others disappoint me. One example, that is sadly typical of political features, was an article punlished several months ago about Antifa. I don’t remember the author, but it was clear that she was either lazy in her research or was just trying to push a biased narrative. She quoted a Portland Antifa leader who explained that theirs was a peaceful movement, yet she ignored the mountain of demonstrable evidence to the contrary. It saddens me that the DN is becomimg almost indistinguisable between the state’s other main daily. Frankly, I’ve lost faith in main-stream media.

Great Content - Comment Section Needs Work. Every paper has bias, whether it’s the Salt Lake Tribune, Chicago Tribune, Deseret News, whoever. The Deseret news has been as objective as anyone. The only problem is the comment section being monitored excessively and in a manner that is too controlling. Yes, the Deseret News has the legal right to do this. But sometimes there is a difference between what you have a right to do and what is the right thing to do. Fix that problem and you would get five stars for me.

Brilliant!!!. Can't fault it 👍

Love it!. Easy to use and a great source of information.

Great News. I love keeping up with Utah news and the Deseret News makes it easy. They've had recent updates to make the app easy to use current. The new design is great.

Love it!. Easy to use and I like the format. Its wonderful coverage keeps me updated on world, national, and local news. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Deseret News provides excellent coverage of religious news. Highly recommend Deseret News!

Best news app out there!!. Love this app! Keeps me up to date on all the news and church news I'm interested in!

Enjoyable. I enjoy keeping up with the news so I can discuss what’s happening in Utah with my children who live in Utah. Additionally, I am a fairly fanatic BYU football and basketball fan.

Solid app. Love it!

Jill Sherstobitoff. I have just found this and am thrilled !!! I hope it won't " crash" to often, I'm sure they are working to make it work properly. after all it is the Lords work it has to do !!! ;-)

Getting worse. Bloated, buggy, crashy, and ad-centric.

Fake news. Dessert news is the same as fake mainstream news. It follows the covid propaganda of WHO

Support. I find that in reading a perspective from the original source that the facts get properly balanced. The media is full of varying perspectives that the soul source must be checked on. One needs not go a mechanic when he needs a doctor. The world is full of doctors who are not Doctors. The vision for a safe society must come from a true full source. Deseret News provides me with a focused view, I expect them to dispel their facts and leave the discrepancy to the skeptics.

Very Helpful. It's nice to keep up with current events from a Utah perspective.

Comments. What happened to your comment section. Reading that was as interesting as any part of the news.

Each Morning After Scripture Reading. I enjoy keeping up with daily news from Utah and the world and especially the stories of faith.

Latter-day Saint interests. Deseret news is of interest to me mainly because I am a Latter-day Saint (a convert) and I am interested in what is going on in Utah and also news regarding the church activities in that area. We also have friends who have moved there from Ontario.

Mixed review. Good content. Interesting stories. Unfortunately the app uses completely inappropriate advertising at the bottom. It is very disturbing to be reading articles in the family or faith section and see adds along the bottom for companies/products that encourage inappropriate Internet usage and provide a way to get around blocked sites - including a picture of a woman in lingere. Also adds for highly violet video games. It just doesn't fit well with the supposed integrity of Deseret News. Too bad money talks and a church owned company is willing to compromise standards for advertising money.

Great layout, but crashes a lot.... I really like the design of this app and the layout. My big issue is that it crashes a lot. Clicking on pictures or the home screen often makes it crash. Fix that and it will be golden.

Deseret news app. Like the format. Would like to see names of people on photos though.

Good. It's good

Politically Neutral and High Quality. I love the Desert News. One of the very few news outlets that I trust and also reports on things that I care about. I even love their editorial pieces.

Enjoy edging toward the middle. I sense that your articles and opinions are becoming more moderate in the past few years. Less conservative and less bluster. Thank You. Your paper now engages most of us in the mountain west who are neither far right or far left. I have shared Tad Walch’s summary of everything LDS Pres. Nelson has done in support of Covid19 vaccination, prevention and recovery with many non-LDS friends. They were surprised. Mainly because so many UT, ID and AZ LDS people are anti-mask and anti-vax. Unfortunately many non-LDS people think that Ammon Bundy speaks for the Church. Keep up the “centered” reporting.

Left leaning. The Desert News has been drifting to the left for quite some time. The left leaning bias by many of the writers makes it obvious that objective reporting is not their purpose. It is more of an opinion paper than a real newspaper. They at least used to allow comments on their articles but it seems they didn’t like people countering their positions. The comments section on articles seems to have disappeared.

Liberal Viewpoint. The extreme liberal viewpoint of Deseret News, article, contributors, and editors is disappointing. A more balanced approach to reporting the news would be refreshing. Conservative voices should be heard as well as left-wing liberal voices. Articles from conservative columnist such as Victor Davis Hanson and Cal Thomas should be considered for re-printing. Editors, viewpoints should be more balanced as well. Too often the liberal side is presented without any consideration for the traditional or conservative side of the argument.

Deseret News Review. I enjoy reading the Deseret News every day. They keep me up-to-date on all that is happening in the local area and in the rest of the world. Thanks for such a good job!

Forcing me to review you. I really did want to write a review, but you froze my ability to go to another station. Up until this happened Iwas happy DesNews online. Do not ask me to rate you again!!

Keeping in touch from outside Utah!. As a former Utah resident, I love having access to a top notch publication with news not only of Utah but of the nation & the world! It’s terrific! The variety found in it is outstanding, in print and even more online. Thanks Deseret News!

I really enjoy reading the paper so why didn’t we receive one today we. Why didn’t we get one today

News without wifi connection. I travel the world and this is my go to news app because I can get it with cellphone data only.

Love it!. I read 3 papers each morning and I save the best for last - the Deseret News! I feel that I truly get “fair and balanced “ coverage of the national news plus heart warming articles about life in general. Thank you !

Older version was much better. Layout is horrible and more limited than before. Obituaries list is limited in view and requires one to look through entire full obituary after initial list of a had a dozen names. Limited view under each section as well..they made it worse rather than better. Older version was much better.

Thanks. I grew up in Utah but haven’t lived there in 50 years but the DN is my lifeline to my long past… a security blanket kind of and its been on every iPhone I ever owned. Thanks for making it available.

Disappointed. Your website was 5 star until I started getting obnoxious advertisements that required watching it for up to 30 seconds before I could continue

Thumbs down on the new version. I’m sorry you put some much effort in the new app. At this moment after using (trying to use it) I’m quite disappointed. The older version was quick and easy to find the news content I was looking for. Just report news and not your left political agenda. I’m sick of it.

Easy way to keep up on news. For me it is easy to go to the APP and catch up on just not national news but also and more importantly to me the local news just wish they had better coverage of local high schools up north. There are schools located outside the Salt Lake area and Utah county and they are pretty good also

Professional Newspaper. The Deseret News is a great source of news, in that many of the articles are interesting and accurate. Even the opinion articles are interesting and intellectually presented. Thanks for offering so much to your readers.

This paper doesn’t get UI or UX.. The new design is horrible. It is amazingly bad. If the web were available in the 50’s, this design would fit right in. Design is an integral part of content. You seem to have lost sight of that principle.

Clickbait. My only problem with Deseret News/Church News is that almost all of the headlines are 100% clickbait - I wish it would stop, it’s very annoying and had actually frustrated me so much lately that I’ve been avoiding the sites and apps.

Appreciation and criticism. Having been born and educated in Utah, l regularly read the DN. I very much appreciate its accessibility. I would appreciate it if you would lock out so called “fans” of the UofU who post on every BYU article and spew their hatred and vitriol. Civil discourse does not exist with these sorry proponents of such a highly respected institution of higher learning. I very much doubt that any of them ever graduated from the U.

Deseret News review. Great sports section and easy to navigate. Especially like the high school coverage with standings, rankings, etc. Comment section probably needs to be monitored a little more closely as some comments get too personal and mean spirited.

Old format was better. I guess there are reasons for change, but I liked it better when it read like newspapers used to be.

New App. New app is difficult to navigate and sports stories in several instances have been incomplete or could only be found by going to high school section then going to menu and and then to sports. High school rewind and Parry’s power guide cannot be opened from the app.

Wonderful Conference Session. It is such a joy to know that nearly all friends the world over could share the same messages of salvation via the Web.

Looks nice. The update certainly looks nice, but it is harder to find articles; there are only about 10 on the main screens unless you go to a specific category. Before you used to be able to scroll through more than that. Also the search feature takes you to the internet and can’t search within the app for some reason.

Should have stayed with the old way. Not impressed with the new update. Wish we could comment on articles

Go back to previous format. I much preferred the previous format. I can’t read every day and the old format let me catch up. I have no idea why anyone would think this is a better format

Good & Fair. I have always enjoyed reading the Desert News. I like the way the journalists write, and how they try their best to be unbiased and represent all view points. I hope that they keep an open mind, and continue to provide good information! Thank you Desert News!

Great format, no search. I think everything is organized very well and is user-friendly. I just wish there was a search function in the app so that I could more easily identify and review a previous article I thought was meaningful.

Far less articles than old app. I liked the older version more. This app has less articles and does not add new ones daily or during the day as the older app did. I would like to go back to older app.

Review. The Deseret News is great; however, the application on my apple tablet is hit and miss. I cannot rely on it to always stay in contact with the articles and photos I want to see.

Deseret News app. I look at it most days & am glad to have a news that is mostly relevant to Utah. It also covers the national headlines, so I can know the biggest news of the day. Is each day. Thanks for making it available!

Love to read what’s happening in Utah. I grew up in Utah but have lived in the Midwest for over 50 years. I have family still in Utah and follow BYU football. I appreciate the Deseret News because I feel I can trust what they report is true.

Super news. We do not live in Utah. We enjoy being able to read about BYU, U of U, and Utah State sports as well as the impressive things happening in Utah. Utah people are impacting the world for good!

My favorite. We were taking the Desert News paper for about 25 years. And then when it became available on line, we opt to no longer get newspapers delivered to our door. Having access to local, church, civic, national and international news, is very worth it!

It’s okay. As far as apps go it’s great! Nice UI/UX interface. However for news try going anywhere else. It’s soft, uninformative news. They do a “letter to the editor” section that is basically Facebook for Deseret News. I guess I keep it just so I know how liberal left wing media is swaying the people of Utah. Which is odd as the paper is owned by the Church if Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and they are pretty conservative. But maybe Deseret news has lost their way.

New app. Your new app is terrible. You created extra steps for the reader to find articles. For example: in the sports section, you now have to go into specific categories to determine if there is an article of interest. I am not a Real Salt Lake fan so its highly unlikely I will ever go into that section. But there may be a time or two when there is an article I would be interested in - like the coach being fired. I will never see that because of the extra step you created to find it. Bad design on your part.

Dependable News Source. I check DesNews several times a day to keep current on local, national, and world happenings. I consider these offerings to be well researched, factual, and unbiased. And the photography is outstanding.

Too many ads. Too many ads slow down the reading interface and make the reading experience glitchy. Often times when I am mid-story, new adds will populate and the article starts back at the beginning. Frustrating:(

Still crashing. Still crashing even with 5.0.16. Frustrating. Update: Had to delete app and download again. Works fine.

New format not user friendly-liked former left side options of reviewing certain subjects-. The new format requires more time to get your information. Going else where for the news. Please go back to previous format. Thank you. New format has less news and repeated on daily basis. Not user friendly.

App has improved. The app generally works well, a change from a few years ago. There are sometimes glaring gaps in coverage in the content, and some articles on politics look like little more than warmed over press releases from a politico’s press secretary. It’s necessary to regularly look at other local news sources to try to stay fully informed.

Promptly closes itself. Since the latest update, this app is completely useless. It closes as soon as you open it. I’d give it 0 stars if it were possible since it’s completely unusable on my iPad.

Review. The D News is top flight. I used to be a faithful subscriber to the Tribune until I couldn’t tolerate their untenable editorials. Now, when I occasionally read their articles, if I go over the allotted “free” articles in a month (3?) I get shut down. The News does not do that. So, no need to even read the few Tribune articles I did, anymore. Guess whose advertisers I support.

Struggle with “click-bait” style headlines. Over the past several months, perhaps a year or so, I have noticed a trend in the way headlines are presented. More and more, they look like “click bait,” designed to entice, rather than to fulfill the purpose of a headline. They are now, more often than not, written as a question, such as “Why …,” rather than stating the primary focus of an article. As a result, I find myself reading fewer articles.

Deseret News embraced for me.. Pure revelation has the power to change lives when you stand in holy places. Seeking truth consistent with your hearts passion is the key to joy in the journey. Words of truth found here is power to earn His greatest rewards. Be still my sole. Peace found and embraced.

Love it!. It is our go to source for up to date and accurate news of what is happening locally, as well as worldwide. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Informative news app, but used to be better. I really enjoy this app, too many covid stories. Content is much more progressive than it used to be so I stick to religion, sports and entertainment.

Real News. I like the Deseret News for National news because it is the real news. It isn’t Hollywood news or things that don’t really matter. I don’t even live in Utah and I still like it more than news apps in California.

Unselfish kids. It is so refreshing to read stories that are up lifting . We have so much evil, hatred, anger and selfishness in this world. I tire of all the bad news that we hear about everyday. Thanks for a good story. Hopefully we can play it forward.

Keep having to delete app. This app has problems I have to delete it at least once a week and reinstall it because it gets stuck on an article and I can’t get back to the home page, please fix this problem. This started happening with the last up date. I really like reading the desert news.
