The Desert Sun Reviews

TheDesertSun is intuitive and useful. However, The Desert Sun’s journalist writing style is occasionally grammatically incorrect, and articles that provide updates to oft-covered topics never include a backstory paragraph to help the reader understand context and history. And, the photos and videos placed at the top of each article often have nothing to do with the article’s content; in some cases, it has been seriously misleading and irresponsible. For example, when a restaurant in Palm Springs closed suddenly, the photo was of a completely different restaurant. I have complained to the Desert Sun repeatedly about this and have never received any response.

Great local paper. Keep up with all the news in the Valley. I would prefer to have a “view print edition” like others.

TheDesertSun used to be a 5 because it was a very easy to read e edition of the paper. NOW you can’t find the most basic of stories from today’s news. No national stories. No national sports. What happened in college football games yesterday. This is November 24. On the Top Stories page, there’s a MLB score from October 30. Did you change TheDesertSun and put no one in charge of making sure all the news is there? HELP

It’s like reading the Associated Press ap. What would be ideal, and keep me as a subscriber, is if this Ap had a version that looked just like the printed newspaper. You would just flip the page on the screen to read the next page, just as if you were holding an actual copy of the Desert Sun in your hands. The LA Times has this and its super cool.

There doesn’t seem to be a place to sign on if already a subscriber, which I am. It did appear a couple of times, but all I see now is a request to subscribe.

I am continually frustrated by being blocked from viewing/reading content - despite being logged onto my account I keep getting pages that say I must be a subscriber to read the rest of the article.

Why doesn’t someone clean out the old articles in the listings? After 3 days, it’s old, way too old. And the caps and punctuations are terrible. Many of the headlines are poorly written. All it takes is someone to pay attention.

Why is App not updated? Turned on at 7:15 AM and still have Sunday’s stories. How much sleep is needed?

It’s a pretty good app, but annoying that they leave items for weeks at the top of the section as opposed to putting latest news on the top of each section. Makes you feel like nobody has anything new to report.

It’s nice to read a paper with local
Reporting. News not news entertainment. Except in the entertainment section.

Everything I need to know locally in one place. Always informative AND I am supporting local journalism. Win Win

I appreciate the current and accurate updates and alerts. Easy viewing and can chose what to read. Thanks Desert Sun!

Keep up to date on all of the local news!

I enjoy the updates each morning.

I am a snowbird in this area and finding all sorts of activities to connect to in my winter home!

Desert Star keeps me up to date on local happenings.

Easy to navigate. Frequently updated. Worth subscribing to.

Love the paper. We subscribe for the 5 months we spend in our winter home. Much better paper than in our summer home.

I can’t find these good local stories on the local TV stations.

There are too many ads connected to stories. If you accidentally click on an ad it is almost impossible to get out of it.

Like reading local news.

Keeps us connected while we're up north for the summer

Always great articles, covering topics of interest for those living in the area - permanent or snowbirds. Factual, well written and a great read. Thanks Desert Sun!

Wish all newspapers we're this easy, if your into the valley and Palm Springs TheDesertSun is a must have.

TheDesertSun works well for me, even when I read the paper abroad. Much of its content is curious since I don't live in the Valley. However, if I want to find out about a recent cultural event or a future happening, I usually find it. The only bother is the interruption of the video clips midway through.

Great local new app!!! Always keeps me updated on local emergencies and events.

Moved to Palm Desert,
and reading The Desert Sun acquaints me
with many aspects of the local lifestyles.

Like The desert Sun for breaking news and valley news.

Thanks for keeping us informed here in the valley

No way of filtering what you want to receive.

Every other news app allows you to read the articles. Except this one. I will be deleting TheDesertSun since it’s useless if I cannot actually read the article. Get with the times!
