Is Het Parool down right now?
Amsterdam readers who meet a locked Plus story or an edition that will not load check the Het Parool status. Het Parool down reports climb when the DPG session drops, the digital edition stalls, or parool.nl opens on an empty page.
On a healthy day the app opens on city news with the national headlines right behind it. One failing part, like the podcast player inside the app, seldom means a full Het Parool outage for every reader.
Is Het Parool down for me or everyone?
Open parool.nl in a browser and sign in there while the app still locks your stories. A Plus article that opens on the web clears your subscription and points at the app session. When the browser locks the same story, the fault sits above your phone.
What does the red Plus label on a Parool story mean?
Plus stories are the subscriber part of Het Parool and wear a red Plus label on the headline. Free readers can open a set number of Plus stories in a period before the wall closes over the rest.
Subscribers read every Plus story without limits once they sign in with their account. A signed-out subscriber sees the same wall as a guest, which is why a dropped session feels like a lost subscription.
How do I read the Parool edition on a tablet?
The app holds the digital edition next to the rolling news, built for the wide tablet screen. Swipe through the pages of the day, tap a story to read it as clean text, and pull older editions from the list inside.
Why does my Parool feed lean so hard on Amsterdam news?
Het Parool is the city paper of Amsterdam, so the feed leads with city hall, city crime, food and culture from the capital. National and world news sit one tab away, behind the city stream on the front page.
Can I listen to podcasts inside the Parool app?
Yes, the app carries the Parool podcasts next to the news, with the daily puzzles in the same menu. Playback runs in the app player, and a stuck episode usually restarts clean after you leave and reopen it.
Common Het Parool Problems and Fixes
Locked Plus stories at Het Parool usually mean a dropped session, so the steps below start with your login.
Sign in through the Service menu
Tap Service in the bottom bar and log in with your DPG account, or use Menu on a tablet.
Check which address your subscription knows
Your subscription and your app login must share one email address before they can meet.
Download the edition once more
Remove the stalled edition inside the app and pull it down again on a wifi link.
Update the Parool app
Install the newest build from your store before you dig deeper into phone settings. DPG ships the fixes for edition loading and player faults through these regular updates.
Restart a stuck podcast episode
Leave the episode, open any other item in the app, then return to the podcast and press play again. The player drops its broken state and starts the stream fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Plus article at Het Parool?
A Plus article is a story for subscribers, marked with a red Plus label on the headline.
How do I read the Parool paper offline?
Download the digital edition inside the app while you are still online at home. The edition then opens without a connection, so you can read it anywhere later on.
Why does the app show Amsterdam news first?
Het Parool is the newspaper of Amsterdam, so city news leads the feed by design. National and world stories sit in their own tabs inside the same app.

Does my Parool login work for Trouw as well?

Yes, the puzzles sit in the app next to the podcasts and the news feed.
