Locks up my device much too often. Otherwise, it's ok. I use it for access to important content (non-hysterical, slanted news).

User UNfriendly When I click on a link I want to see the article not to open the app then never find the article. Trying to find the On TV for sports is a great time waster too.

Great content App doesn't always open up very well. A little annoying that way.
Allen Rice
App Freezes Often The app freezes and locks up frequently. I enjoy the content very much. I wish it was more consistently accessible.
Alexander Smith
Poor opinion articles The opinion pieces that DN puts out are short sighted most of the time and focus on only parts of a topic therefore leaving out critical information that has bearing on the subject.
James Turnbull
Clicking link won't go straight to app. What is the problem, DN?

Desert news It's one place I can count on to report the news in a timely manner.
Very difficult to open app on Galaxy 5 phone. 20% of attempts result in app opening.
Links to Browser? Some features just send me to the browser version. (I.e High school scores) what is the point of even getting the app if its going to do this? May as well just make a bookmark.
It is the best way to keep up with BYI I enjoy the coverage of most things. It's a little different from the local newspaper.
Great! Living out of Utah and having family living there makes Deseret News of great interest to me. Thank you keeping me informed.
I can always count on Deseret News having the current news I am from out of state and I use Deseret News to get global news.
Deseret News Great newspaper. Best way for me to keep up with the inter-mountain news, activities, and sports.
Good way to keep up I love Des News! The update makes everything accessible.
Would have been 5 stars if the pictures were not interrupted with ads so often.
Great I have always liked the desert news, and their new app is smooth as silk.
Desert news Good to be able to get the latest news and church headlines. Still enjoy the news updates. Like the new design.
Balanced DN always provides balanced and variety without excessive celebrity news.
Dessert News Has a little of everything, nothing bad. Really enjoy it.
Love this app.! Deseret News app is the best. Good stories, and family friendly.
Like Notifications any time, any place? If so, you've found the right app. You cannot turn notifications off, so get ready for being notified about anything they think you're interested in. Yeah, corporate socialism. "You will read our news, And You'll Like It!!" Other than that, the item you're being notified about isn't necessarily what comes up. Nice try Des News. See ya around. Maybe...
Deseret News at my Fingertips The app generally works well. It's gone through many changes, some good, some intolerable. The latest version seems to have eliminated the major problems of usability and readabilty. I would like to have some options and ability to configure the news feed.
Annoying alerts There are frequent alerts that pop up on your device, and they are often not even "urgent" or important stories. There is no way to turn these off. I uninstalled it and will just keep my KSL app for news.
Needs an option to turn off notifications. I'm surprised developers have been so slow to fix this when so many people have commented about it. If they fix that one thing, it is a great app.
NOT a fan of the alerts I can't turn them off and most of them are not worthy (IMO) of a.c. alert. Other than that, it's pretty good.
Good, but lacks settings Uninstalling because it doesn't allow you to turn off its notifications. In fact, it doesn't have any settings at all. Sticking with KSL's app.
Good app Notifications can be a little annoying. I'd like to see notification preferences such as sports, etc
Links broken For the most part works fine. But when click "sports" and then "university of utah" I get stories about the state of Utah, not the school sports.
Icon is too bright The bright yellow icon makes it so I refuse to put this on any homepage. You gotta tone down the color otherwise it's too annoying bright to have as a permanent icon.
