Alaska Dispatch News for Android
After being disappointed at the changes from the original you guys have finally done it :-) great job!
-update:Well it looks like they may have it working at last. Now we'll see if it keeps working. I wonder if ADN has anyone left in their IT department that actually knows something about Web programming. Or maybe they don't have their own IT department. In which case they wasted money putting this app out to the public. But it is free app and sometimes you get what you pay for.
perfect
They fixed the app. Works perfectly again.
I've seen fewer crashes on the Glenn Highway on the first snow of winter! Was good when it worked. Crashes whenever a story is selected. Developer does not respond. Asked Google to remove from Play Store.
Very unstable. Crashes as soon as you click on a news item. Would consider re-installed if problem ever fixed.
It was a good app until it stopped updating. Now it doesn't load completely and when you try to click on an article it just crashes. Hope someone will fix this!
Ending up uninstalling. Read 1 article, then it goes to some screen popup inviting me to subscribe, then freezes. I do subscribe, but this has no way to log in. Garbage.
This was how I accessed most ADN articles, the app has recently stopped working. Uninstall/ reinstall didn't fix it.
For 3 days been trying to read articles and I keep getting error messages. I've Uninstalled it and reinstalled and still doesn't work.
The app crashes every time you click on a story. Its been a couple of weeks but it still hasn't been fixed. Get it together ADN!
App is not loading new stories since adn did web site update
I have tried during the week of 23 may to get the app to launch. No success. Uninstalled and reinstalled. No change.
Used to work fine, now it crashes everything I try to open a story. Uninstalling.
Since the update, the app doesn't work at all.
The app won't refresh now. S6 edge
The current update is as recent reviews indicate and is crashing when trying to load stories.
It crashes every time I try to open a story..
Like others, just crashes when trying to read articles on my Samsung Galaxy S7.
App stops every time I go to open a story.
App is still crashing when trying to open any article.
Only loads, but never completes! Un- installed it!!
Used to work. Now. NOT working. Uninstalled.
App won't open up after update
Broke!!
App doesn't work. It freezes. Stay away!
It's great if you love obama and his constituents. If you want real news, look elsewhere.
There are no options to share ADN stories to Facebook and Twitter, for whatever reason. Since these two media services are synonymous with world communications, the app is rendered somewhat obsolete and archaic for myself.
I can't view pictures in the multimedia section.. I hop this will be fixed soon. .
The share features of this app are lacking many functions like social media and copy the URL. This app is a blast to the past from the early days of smart phone apps. I hope retro is what they were going for.
Original adn app much better
New app is very disappointing. Will count on the KTUU & Fairbanks Daily News from now on. Maybe i will try again sometime in the future.
Compared to other apps on News Paper companies. ... it was low. less than a quarter of the printed paper was actually on the app
I was pretty upset when ADN was bought out by Alaska Dispatch and the app I was used to was replaced. Now though, I've come to love the AK Dispatch app. Clean news feed, nice design, and never any errors or forced closings. Love it!
Everytime I click the sports tab all I get is a blank screen with a grey box. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app to see if it was something in the download that may not have downloaded. Please fix asap. Sports is a big part of the news.
Great app, I like the new feel of ADN. I would really like to see comments integration though. Community opinion is interesting and often informative with extra relative information (sometimes have to sift through the riff raff). The ability to see and submit comments would be great, also the ability to expand and contract comment threads. Thanks!
Don't like the new look and name. Dont feel like I get the real news or all of the news at all.
Original app was better it actually worked.
ADN only post 5 articles now that they have decided to go to digital subscribers. Dont waste your time. Try one of the other news sources.
