Tallahassee Democrat Reviews

by Rosenoreen

On settings, I can see no information about what phone number I set this up with, which the phone person needed to locate my account. And when I called, the person barely spoke English and was of no help. Then she started speaking in what sounded like an Asian language to someone else. All I wanted was to see how much it would cost to get a printed copy of the paper. I still don’t know. TallahasseeDemocrat is terrible and the phone even worse.

After using this for years it won’t load and is draining my battery. Very disappointing. I want to support my local paper but TallahasseeDemocrat is impossible. Hate the look and difficult to find what I want to read.

I have no been able to receive the digital edition of th print paper in over one week. I have been told at one time the techs were working on the problem. I find that hard to believe. I was also told my refund would begin immediately. This is what hsppens when a community looses control over their newspaper. I am very unhappy and would like to know the truth.

TallahasseeDemocrat keeps crashing with no predicability. There really nothing special about TallahasseeDemocrat when compared to others but the crashing makes it frustrating and makes question why I have a subscription. Especially not good in times of Covid 19

I had used TallahasseeDemocrat for many many years, however For the last 4 months TallahasseeDemocrat has been a headache. I don’t think it works anymore, at least not for me. I have been getting sign in or subscribe responses each time I attempt to use it. Customer services redirected me to the e-edition app, which is difficult to read on a smartphone. If this is a part of paid subscription, then get it fixed so I can access news updates and read daily news briefs.😫

This is a poorly made application. Many times I have accidentally clicked on a video article that I could not escape from and had to force quit to close. It’s also slow and disorganized. It is hard to see what is new and full of ads despite me being a paying customer. The ads are those ugly fake news ads which makes it feel very poor quality.

I like the newspaper though and want to support local journalism so I remain a subscriber.

It’s too hard to tell which articles are new and which are old. Many times I will open an article that seems interesting only to find I read it in the print version several days ago. I understand that articles can be updated and I appreciate that but, somewhere, it should be readily apparent when the article was first published so we can tell if this is old news or new.

Have subscribed to paper copy for years & had app on phone since it first became avail. On app it automatically signs the user out so it becomes necessary to log in over & over plus there are repeated solicitations to subscribe. It’s super frustrating to get a notification of a news update & then have to sign in all over again to get to it. It’s not my bank acct - it’s a news article.

Tallahassee Democrat is okay for the local news if you enjoy reading about the uprising The Florida State University and the downfall of Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University as well the locals voicing their own "opinions" (which is generally one-sided) and let's not forget the constant topics of high crime rates the FBI investigation of top developers. If that's what you're looking for well this is the paper for you.

I have set my notifications to “Breaking News” and “Traffic.” Lately I’ve been receiving notifications all day long about once an hour and it is a lot of trivial stuff about entertainment, lifestyle, sports and shopping. I would like to have a selection for seriously breaking hard news.

Yes, totally understand, that TD pushes the Left’s ideology. But, Tallahassee also hosts residents who lean Right, and those residents’ voices aren’t really reflected, very noticeable in the Zings, as well as in the Opinion section.
Wished TD would be a paper for all TLH residents and allow more content reflecting the Republican way of living.

by JackN202

I find the website and organization excellent. Unfortunately, the news reporting is highly biased and I’m not sure how long I can put up with the unprofessional nature of this type of journalism. Please present more balance views and report the facts not just Democrat talking points. Stop the brain washing and political manipulation. Realize that there are individuals in the world that like to think for themselves without fear of being cancelled and/ or censored. We also want the freedom to criticize points of view we don’t agree with. Stand up for liberty for a change. I’m sure I’ll be dismissed because I don’t agree with the TD political agenda, but frankly no one should be able to recognize such a bias and call it to the attention of a “real” news organization.

The best news source for Tallahassee Always up to date news. Highly recommend

Local reports with factual content are so important in today’s world of untethered observations that may or may not have any basis in reality.
Overall, the 4th estate is critical to democracy, and the printed word continues to be more reliable and in-depth than the electronic media, much less the cotton candy known as social media.
The cost of excellence in journalism via a newspaper subscription is an investment in our ideals as a nation, and without it, the dumbing down continues. And that’s even when the daily news annoys us or the paper seems thin.

by ChiefSectionB

Best coverage of local area news around.
In depth reporting Radio and TV cannot match.

by Neptunes Trident

I get the print edition and TallahasseeDemocrat is a really good way to find articles I may have missed otherwise.

by BigKahunaBorger

I subscribed to this paper because I wanted local, substantive reporting. No fluff, or sensational news, especially during this coronavirus outbreak. So far, I am impressed, and TallahasseeDemocrat has smoothly delivered these stories.

by Red Of Lee

We have a local paper that has clear, up to date, and diverse coverage of our area with valuable notifications and resources to receive by text, online and in collaboration with local television. Yeah, a little USAtoday but it’s the local staff that make it superior. I too used to call it the mullet wrapper . Now it is a better paper and a fully invested part of the region.

Thumbs up for TallahasseeDemocrat for Tallahassee Democrat newspaper. It’s features are pertinent to its readers and getting the news is easy. Also it features sections appropriate for many circles of our community who seek to be informed about things happening in our community. I can be pretty fickle about what online sites I visit daily; however, TallahasseeDemocrat makes it convenient to read and discover every day (often more than once a day!). Check it out and enjoy.

I have enjoyed this email formatted paper every day for the great job of covering COVID as well as other current events.

What have you done? I’m a digital subscriber and now an ad pops up immediately. It says to scroll to get to content but won’t. Please fix, or l will be forced to drop my subscription.

by TallyMax

I want to read the newspaper as it looks in print. Until today I have been able to do so, but the website is so slow loadng. So I tried TallahasseeDemocrat but found it very unappealing. I’m sure others like it, but I much prefer to see the paper as it is in print.

by Broadnax Carbuncle

TallahasseeDemocrat has always been terrible. But the new version is the worst. Local ads pop up and you typically can’t scroll past them to read the stories. I stubbornly keep supporting my hometown daily and have for decades, but my patience is wearing thin.

by V Floridan

Also the new format goes to a page that doesn't respect my night mode choice so I can't read at night.

I finally had to put a block on my credit card to prevent this company from posting unauthorized charges to my account.

by SouthNeighbor

I like the information but TallahasseeDemocrat is very "clunky" on older iPad.

by Craig Reeder

Overall, I am happy with TallahasseeDemocrat , having just switched from home delivery
2 observations, however:

In some sections, the content is not in chronological order, I.e. most recent pieces are not at the top

I don’t like the 3rd party site “eventful” for calendar and nightlife, not user friendly

by Rippppofff

We continue to enjoy the Tallahassee Democrat, but there must be a Republican writer somewhere in the area that could write for the Tallahassee Democrat. The United States is basically a two-party system, but one party is not equally covered--that's my opinion.
I do have delivery issues frequently. And it continues even with new carriers. The fact that a missed paper can't be delivered the same day is very disappointing. And when we had a vacation hold we never got the "held" papers.

by CraigG727

Easy to use app that gets me quickly up to date on what’s happening In Tallahassee.

Love The Tallahassee Democrat because I can keep up with my Tallahassee news while I am in Alabama right now.

by Bighattman

It reminds me of the days I was enrolled in the early 60s.
